Michael Pond, senior media analyst, Nielsen Online, says "Today's youth don't know - or don't remember - a time when they weren't going online, so their adoption of online video has been seamless... the ‘at home' data show how kids and teens are driving usage... "

Younger children gravitate towards sites associated with well-known children's toys and TV programming, says the report, while teens go online to watch music videos, movie trailers and clips of other visitors.

Disney Records led online video destinations among kids 2-11 when ranked by unique viewer composition percent, followed by EverythingGirl.com and MyePets.

The Web provides another platform for their interest in TV shows, toys, movies and music, and offers an interactive element that children especially enjoy.
