U.S. Internet users watched 12.7 billion videos on line in November -- 5.1 billion of them on YouTube, according to a study released Monday by market researcher ComScore. All other websites featuring videos drew comparatively tiny audiences, with the next largest, Fox Interactive Media, accounting for 3.5 percent of total traffic -- or 439 million videos watched. The study also disclosed that the average online viewer in the U.S. watched 273 minutes of video in November -- about the same amount of time that they would spend watching nine half-hour television shows (including commercials).
