The recent, and poorly named, report ‘The Audience for Online Video-Sharing Sites Shoots Up’ states that online video viewership has nearly doubled since 2006. With double digit growth over the last few years this is no big surprise to those in the know. But the winds of change seem to be blowing on what screen they are watching that video on.

YouTube XL Review – Calling All Couch Potatoes
YouTube has finally released their YouTube XL app. For those unfamiliar with XL, it’s an optimized version of the site aimed at television viewing.
