People are making many comparisons between the situation America is facing right now and the situation America was facing in the 1930’s.

Earlier this month, eMarketer released an article that examines the demographics of online video viewership, and the results are a little surprising.

You’ve created your online video. You’ve uploaded it with VideoBloom’s super-simple technology. And now you need to know - is anyone actually watching it?

Well, we’re happy to report, there’s now an easy way to find out.
