Facebook: Who you know; Twitter: What you know

Are you utlizing videos on your website or blog? Then here's an interesting stat for you from the folks at Social Media Today.

Videos promoted with links from Twitter are viewed much longer than from Facebook and Digg. Social Media Today says, "Users clicking onto videos links sent via Twitter spend significantly longer watching those videos than those arriving from Digg or Facebook, according to a new study by video stats site TubeMogul.

"The methodology (below) seems fairly robust, so it may offer a real insight into current Twitter usage: On Twitter you can follow interesting people, not just your friends."

Thanks, Sally - It's quite obvious, when one thinks of it but, of course, I hadn't! I'm looking forward to following your blog.
Cheers!

I can easily see that this is true, even if I myself resist watching videos. I can read so much faster- I have to force myself to watch a clip longer than 2 or 3 minutes!
