Thanks :) OK so I guess thats more like 3% of Americans who have a phone in their house or mobile (in order to take part in the survey) so thats starting to sound far more plausible.
Wish there were some good international comparisons around, to test my believe that some generalised stereotypical characteristics of the American psyche makes them the most likely to have a higher uptake of people showing themselves via video. Iin the same way that the generalised stereotypical characteristic of the English as being reserved, uptight etc, might explain a lower uptake in vlogging, if that is in fact the case (Ive got no numbers to test this). Regrettably it feels like a lot of the stories in UK press about UK people putting videos online, have been the negative side, such as youths videoing themselves smashing up a mcdonals, posting it to youtube with their real name, and then getting busted. The 'happy slapping' use of video as a way for bullies to enhance their fun at others expense, is another popular mainstream UK mention of amateur web video. I also became quite depressed when searching for indy UK podcasts recently, didnt find much, but maybe I was looking in the wrong place. I'll also be really fascinated to see how much older people increase their publishing of video online, or whether the young continue to dominate.
