There are more women online than men, but men watch more online-videos than women. And when men watch videos, they go for news, user-generated videos and TV shows. Women, according to the research, prefer news, music videos and entertainment.

How many views does it take for a video to be defined as going “viral”? It’s not 1 million, and it’s not 2 million… read on. I’m a big fan of Smosh’s Teleporting Fat Guy (see original video seen more than 4 million times). So I was thrilled to see the adorable chubby guy return…
I receive a lot of e-mail about how to become a YouTube Partner (where individuals can share in the advertising revenue that appears aside their videos). Some of you WillVideoForFood tribe members (Reubnick) have expressed frustration about how some are “chosen” and others aren’t (I’ve also edited this post thanks to your comments). The photos…
Did you know you can search YouTube comments for keywords? This comes in handy when you want to find out who’s trashing you in videos. Here’s an example… click here to search video comments for the word Nalts.
It wasn’t long ago that YouTube was known as the video version of early Napster. If you needed a free television show, music video, or even a featured-length movie, YouTube was your source. Now the company, under Google, has developed perhaps the most robust content ID library in the world (see YouTube business blog). It’s…
In an interesting update on the preroll formats on the world’s largest video site, Gigaom reports that 60% of prerolls are “skippable.” After 5 seconds the viewer can jump past the ad, and advertisers pay nothing. The piece also quoted CEO Larry Page as saying that growth wouldn’t necessarily come at the expense of TV…
I’m just proving that you don’t have to be Tina Fey (or LisaNova) to appear on CNN impersonating Sarah Palin. Yeah that’s me in drag (see Sarah Palin Exposed, which is almost at a half-million views). My parents are so proud. I usually don’t know my clips are going to be used on television until after…

I think whoever did this study left out porn. That should make up for a huge percentage of the videos that men watch online. This is why you can’t trust studies.
Wasn’t that the reason the internet was made? Not to give you information about any topic in seconds and a place to meet new people but to give horny men the opportunity to watch hot looking women have sex 24/7. At least that’s what I thought the internet was all about. 🙂
On a serious note, how could sports videos not be towards the top of the list for men? Just about every guy I know visits sports sites on a daily basis just for sports videos. Maybe sites like ESPN don’t count because there aren’t any user generated videos there. If that is the case aren’t sports just another type of news?
Lol well my mum watches near enough edzacly what I watch.
side note: I was just thinking yesterday of all the people I subscribe to and watch, 50 total, on youtube – 4 are women, guess three, 1 child and the other 45 are all men.
Edie, I agree… clearly the results are offset by the lack of porn in the list.
not only did they leave out porn, they left out Shoes… which is really just porn for women. Yes, yes, there aren’t a lot of shoe video sites, but if there were, you’d see the “Females viewing Shoe Videos” numbers skyrocket.
Hahaha… One of our live shows was called “The Shoe Show”
I should film some of those sketches and get them online.
I watch videos for the fart/potty humor.
