Sorry, I'm having trouble reconciling those numbers. Assuming 2.5 Million users:

2000 Years of video watching a month comes out to about 7 hours/month/user.

5.7 Million hours a day comes out to over 2 hours/day/user, or about 60 hours/month/user.

I think one of those numbers is off by an order of magnitude ... Or is my my math wrong?

Your math isn't wrong, but the assumption that you have to register as a Justin.TV user in order to watch video is wrong.

In either case, the numbers still don't reconcile.

Is the 5.7 Million hours of video/day number right, or is the 2000 Years of video/month right?

2000 Years of video/month only works out to half a million hours per day ... not 5 million. They still differ by an order of magnitude.

Smanek - your right - I misplaced a decimal point - corrected above.

Thanks :)
