New figures show that December was a record month for viewing videos online.
Online clips were watched more than four billion times by over 30 million people according to internet monitor comScore.
YouTube was the big winner though, pulling in almost 24 million unique users, meaning it reached 77% of everyone who watched videos online.
Coming in a distant second to YouTube were various BBC websites which got almost 7 million unique users. This was followed by Microsoft and then eBay.
Overall the figures are up 13% from December 2007.
When it comes to the actual number of videos viewed YouTube was even more dominant.
Videos on its site were watched more than 2 billion times, easily over half of all the videos viewed online.
Again the BBC came a very distant second with almost 60 million views, followed by Microsoft and Megavideo.com.
