While British politics has failed to really exploit digital media in 2010, the internet, and especially online video, continues to have a growing impact on our “real” lives and businesses.

New figures from the respected agency Comscore show people in the UK watched 37% more online video compared with the year before.

We Brits are now watching more than five and a half million online videos a month compared with four million last year.

YouTube is of course the biggest player, but Facebook reported a 205% increase in the number of video views while the BBC reported a 143% increase.
