Well, you may have been getting the kids ready for camp, starting your gardening/around the house projects, and shopping for Mother's Day gifts.
But the odds are also pretty good that you also watched online videos in May - and a lot of them. According to comScore, Americans watched 12 billion (that's with a "b") videos during the fifth month of this year. Not surprisingly, YouTube garners the lion's share of this video activity, while Fox Interactive, Viacom Digital, Yahoo!, and Microsoft are all in the hunt.

CBS Radio is moving toward taking advantage of this phenomenon. They've launched a new video platform on their four New York City stations that provide user flexibility to display station content, share video clips, and feature all sorts of video content.
