    I believe that this means some viewers streamed more than one video

  2. Chris Conderino from Independent Consultant
    commented on: April 25, 2008 at 12:13 PM
    Question: In the section on viewers 12-24, for selected sites, there appears to be more unique viewers than streams. How is that possible? Shouldn't there be at least one stream per viewer?
