CNN.com, which had 212 million video streams on its desktop site in June, is pushing to be the worldwide leader in video. “The aim should be, what is the best consumer experience,” said Chris Dorr, executive director of the Global Online Video Association, representing multichannel networks and media companies, “because in the end, the best consumer experience will create the best conditions for monetization.” The company has been working with Facebook and other social media companies for years to build a platform that would allow users to watch videos from their favorite sites without having to download them or pay extra fees. CNN lets videos play automatically on its sites, playing multiple videos in a row.
