You Tube is the run away winner when it comes to short and pointless web videos, but Facebook's nearly half a billion users are catching up pretty quick. According to the social networking giant over 20 million videos are uploaded every month, and over two billion get watched. This is still a drop in the bucket when you consider over 25 billion pieces of content are shared by Facebook users each month, but its clearly the start of a trend.
Facebook's lead engineering manager Josh Wiseman said the company expects to see this number grow exponentially with the rise of video ready smart phones. "Video traffic has grown over the past year as more people upload video directly from their mobile phone", he said.
Saying that web video use will rise is pretty much a foregone conclusion, but it will be interesting to see if video ever overtakes pictures as the primary sharing mechanism on social networks.

This is amazing! Well, Facebook is a well known network because it uses good strategies to attract people. At the moment there are millions of persons using it, not only youngsters, but adults as well. Facebook always comes up with new and attractive applications, like the new Facebook layouts that I have found some days ago.

pretty sure there's a bug going around Facebook right now. I'm staying off for awhile...
