Summary• Shift to Mobile:
• By the end of 2013, more time was spent accessing the internet on mobile devices than on computers. While 2014 continued that trend, internet use on computers also grew steadily.
• Mobile devices and computers have very different internet uses: Mobile is preferred for Social Networking apps, Gaming, Photos and Radio while Computers are preferred for accessing Portals, Business and Entertainment sites among others.
• Top categories accessed by computers by number of monthly visitors are Portals, Search Engines, Entertainment, Social Media and Retail Sites.
• Top sites accessed by computers reflect those categories and remain similar to those of a year ago.
• An interesting by product of the shift to mobile is that younger demos are spending less computer time on many top sites while older demos are spending much more time online on computers.
• Top sites have also experienced a decline in the number of younger visitors, largely due to the shift to mobile.
• The Rise of Video:• Video is also heavily accessed on computers. (Streaming mobile video
metrics and connected TV metrics aren’t widely available yet).• 2013 saw an explosion of video streaming and triple digit video ad
streaming growth.IAB Digital Usage Trend Report 2014: The Year in Review

Summary• The Rise of Video (cont’d):
• Although the triple-digit video growth of 2013 has slowed somewhat, the heightened levels of video and ad streaming reached in 2013 were maintained throughout 2014.
• While the overwhelming majority of videos are streamed by younger demos, Adults 65 and over seem to have discovered online video in 2014. Videos streamed have doubled for this group and many top 10 sites witnessed triple digit growth in video streaming by Adults 65+.
• Social Video:• Facebook, in particular, saw incredible growth as a video streaming site due
in large part to its policy as of Dec. 2013 to default videos to autoplay in users’ Facebook stream. As a result, while the number of computer users visiting Facebook monthly have only grown by 22%, they are now streaming 5 times as many videos as they did last year and are spending 3 times as long viewing those videos.
• Google’s undisputed #1 video position is being challenged by Facebook’s growth: Facebook is nearly even with Google in videos streamed.
• Also of note, Facebook has overtaken Netflix in time spent streaming video.
• Entertainment Videos:• The growth of Social Media videos notwithstanding, Entertainment Videos
remain by far the #1 type of video streamed.IAB Digital Usage Trend Report 2014: The Year in Review
4
Summary• Entertainment Videos (cont’d):
• Entertainment Videos grew 15% year over year and accounted for 23 billion monthly streams by year’s end compared to Social Media’s 16 billion monthly streams and 3 billion monthly streams or less for Portals or other video categories.
• Original Digital Video:• Original Digital Video pureplay sites like Maker Studios and Fullscreen have
made the Top 10 while the remaining Top 10 video sites are mixed video sites that stream at least some Original Digital Video.
• Video search sites and sites that offer a variety of video types like Blinkx, AnyClip and Vimeo have made it into the top 10 while TV sites have moved to top 20.
• Video Ads:• Despite Facebook’s immense video growth, only 1% of its videos are video
ads.• 60% of all Entertainment Videos are video ads.• Portals and Gaming sites also monetize the quantity of videos streamed with
66% of Portal Videos being ads and 74% of Gaming Videos comprising ads.• While digital video seems to have hit critical mass, it still has room to grow.
Only 6% of time spent streaming videos is spent on video ads. In comparison, 24% of TV viewing time is spent watching TV commercials.IAB Digital Usage Trend Report 2014: The Year in Review

• Google’s undisputed #1 position is being challenged by Facebook’s triple digit growth. Facebook’s videos streamed have doubled and Facebook is nearly even with Google.
• Facebook’s Minutes spent have quadrupled over the year, but are still less than half of Google’s time spent. Notably, Facebook has overtaken Netflix in time spent streaming video.
• Facebook’s incredible video growth is attributed to its 2014 strategy of defaulting videos to autoplay in the newsfeed62,007,000

Summary Points• Shift to Mobile:
• By the end of 2013, more time was spent accessing the internet on mobile devices than on computers. 2014 continued that trend but internet use on computers also grew.
• The Rise of Video:• Although the triple-digit video ad growth has subsided, the heightened
levels of video and ad streaming reached in 2013 were maintained throughout 2014.
• Social Video:• Google’s undisputed #1 video position is being challenged by Facebook’s
growth: While Facebook still has fewer visitors than Google’s sites (incl. YouTube), Facebook is nearly even with Google in videos streamed and has surpassed Netflix in minutes streamed.
• Entertainment Videos:• The growth of Social Media videos notwithstanding, Entertainment Video
remains by far the #1 type of video streamed.• Original Digital Video:
• Original Digital Video pureplay sites like Maker Studios and Fullscreen have made the Top 10 while the remaining top video sites are mixed video sites that stream at least some Original Digital Video.
• Video Ads:• Despite Facebook’s immense video growth, only 1% of its videos are video
