Watching YouTube videos tops Social Media behaviors!

By Angelo Fernando on May 24th, 2007 In Social Media

Here are the results of the Social Media Survey that visitors to this blog participated in last week.

First take a guess. What do you think people like you spend more time on? Listening to a podcast, commenting on a blog, or checking an RSS feed? Having had to explain what an RSS feed was about twice a week, I would have guessed it was blogs. Wrong!

When online, over the past 10 days:

52% checked their RSS`feeds (14% said they had no time for this)

48% left a comment ion someone’s blog (29% said they had no time for this)

48% linked to, commented on, or forwarded a link to a video on YouTube

38% posted to own/organization’s blog (14% said they had no time for this)

52% chatted with someone using IM -same as those checking RSS (14% had no time for this)

20% created a wiki (15% had no time for this)

Only 14% sent a trackback to a blog (67% said it didn’t interest them)

33% listened to a podcast (same number didn’t have time for this)

And the top behavior…

72% watched a video on YouTube (19% said they had no time for this)

This is an ongoing weekly snapshot survey of PR practitioners, marketers, ad agency folk, communicators, bloggers and a few geeks.
