The Nielsen Company is at it again. Forever reporting on the trends that describe our media-related behaviors, they have released data revealing just how much time we spend looking at television screens, computer screens and other screens about town. As it turns out, and as we're sure our gentle readers already know, Internet video is not just a pretty face. It actually appeals to many and Nielsen has the numbers to prove it.

Coming off the heels of recently announced low cost and free hosted web application services such as Amazon's S3 and Google Apps, UK based digital asset delivery network Velocix have announced that they are releasing the world's first free content delivery network called Velocix Accelerator, currently in private Beta.

The people have spoken and what they have told us is that they love online video. But besides that one friend we all seem to have who loves to send us link after link, what are the other ways people have of finding their latest cute pet video?
