Facebook video traffic overtaking youtube


The latest trend towards video can be seen in the shift towards video by Facebook, which saw its traffic towards native uploads exceed that of youtube content in january, making links to youtube posts a declining portion of its overall traffic. there appears on an ongoing challenge to grab market share on who is hosting and pushing up the most traffic.
