See what they are watching....
"Many reap profit in posting YouTube videos" by Michael B. Farrell |

BEDFORD — With its upload-it-yourself online platform, YouTube has been filling the Internet with viral videos featuring skateboarding dogs and giggling infants since it was launched in 2005.
Pffft.
Today, television still commands many more viewers in the United States, but YouTube says more content is uploaded to its site every month than all three major networks combined have broadcast in the past 60 years. The site accounts for about 80 percent of all online video watching, according to the Nielsen ratings service, which said in an August report that teens are using YouTube to listen to music more than they are tuning in radio stations.
Due to 800 million monthly visitors from around the globe, the site has also become an online bullhorn for the world’s biggest brands....
That makes the site a boon for some creators of wacky videos,
launching many Internet celebrities from all over the world, including a
number of eclectic figures from Massachusetts....
That's when I stopped watching.
--more--"
And now I have four months worth of partially-read and unread Globes in piles all over the place.
