Video Post: Dawn of a New Day for Online Video?

Not only were the Olympic Opening Ceremonies the most watched ever, but NBC is now reporting the most viewers for the Olympic Games in 18 years. During Michael Phelps record-breaking 8th Gold Medal win on Saturday night, NBC reported an average of 31.1 million viewers, the most for a Saturday night program since 1990.
