Google's (NASDAQ: GOOG) YouTube continues to gain visitors. It competitors have to be dismayed. Why bother posting video content at all when YouTube owns the market.
According to comScore, YouTube had a 34.3% share of all videos watched in the U.S. during January, an improvement of 1.7 share points over the previous month.
The competition barely registered. AOL, Yahoo! (NASDAQ: YHOO), Viacom (NYSE: VIA), and Disney (NYSE: DIS) had embarrassing share figures, none posting a figure better than 3.2%.
Visitors to Google video sites spent an average of almost 110 minutes per viewer. No other large internet site was above 33 minutes.

I bought google stock at $700 which is now in the mid $400's. I hope they can translate their Youtube market share into some real revenue.
