"Among the more fascinating statistics in The Economist's Fall 2009 \"Did You Know?\" video on media convergence include that 40 million people have been rick-rolled, 95% of all downloaded songs last year weren't paid for, there are 2 million TVs in bathrooms in the U.S., and 90% of some 200 billion emails sent per day are spam.\nAs print newspaper circulation has declined by 7 million over the last 25 years, online newspaper readership has soared up 30 million unique visitors in the past 5 years. And whereas ABC, NBC and CBS combined (businesses that collectively have been around for 200 years) receive 10 million viewers per month, Myspace, Facebook and YouTube reach 250 million monthly uniques \u2014 and none existed 6 years ago.\n\nCheck out the video below and let us know what you think. Did any of the stats surprise you and if so, which ones stood out?\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n[via Silicon Alley Insider]"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
