Google Sites, driven primarily by video viewing at YouTube.com, ranked as the top online video content property in July with 158.1 million unique viewers, while VEVO ranked second with 62.1 million.

Boasted by 51.5 membership, Facebook has become the the third most popular video site in USA, according to Comscore. The social network surpassed Yahoo, Viacom and Microsoft to become the third largest video site in terms of unique viewers.

July also made other records, like Total viewing sessions, which reached all-time high, nearly 6.9 billion. Google was in the forefront again with Google Sites crossing the 3 billion mark to account for more than 40 percent of all viewing sessions online.

The average viewer, you and me, enjoyed 18.5 hours of online video during July, with 5.9 hours on Google Sites and 3.4 hours at Hulu streaming down content to become the top two providers.

Hulu On Facebook Connect Causes A Security Breach, Exposes Employee Accounts.

Hulu On Facebook Connect Causes A Security Breach http://snapvoip.blogspot.com/
Looks like Hulu sneaking on in to Facebook ahead of Netflix did not go very well. Right after it was launched, many people noticed the security breach and gave Facebook users, who tried to connect to the service, access to Hulu employee accounts.
Some how the breach was noticed and Hulu took the service offline in time. Hulu now has posted to say that everything is under control;
Here’s what we know: When we launched our Facebook Connect feature early this morning, we discovered that a small number of users weren’t seeing their own Hulu account information upon login. We’re still drilling down on the precise nature of the issue, but we know that it was a coding and configuration error on Hulu’s side, and not the result of hacking, or other third party actions, or a vulnerability in Facebook Connect. We’ve been able to confirm approximately 50 affected users whose profile data, including email addresses, could have been accessed. But no one gained access to Hulu systems or highly sensitive user information such as passwords or credit card numbers.
......
Once we are certain that the issue has been fully addressed, we will re-launch our Facebook Connect program.
So you can go soon and claim that free month of Hulu Plus they offered!
