Happy Birthday You Tube
To mark their sixth birthday, video sharing site You Tube has made some startling statistics public. Countless numbers of people surf the internet everyday. However, whether it’s shopping for clothes, to playing Partypoker, nothing seems to compare to the sheer volume of people who spend time on You Tube. This site has released statistics like 48 hours of video is uploaded to You Tube every single minute!!!
This is what they have said…
Today, more than 48 hours (two days worth) of video are uploaded to the site every minute, a 37% increase over the last six months and 100% over last year. From videos documenting a baby’s first steps in San Francisco, Calif., to a protest in Syria, to a commencement speech at Yale University, we’re continually impressed and inspired by the quality and breadth (in addition to quantity) of videos that you upload to the site every day. On our end, we’re constantly evolving to provide the best video sharing and viewing experience for you from faster processing of uploads to longer video lengths to the launch of self-service live stream capabilities to partners.
The other great birthday present? Your views. We’re amazed that over this last weekend, you drove YouTube past the 3 billion views a day mark, a 50% increase over last year. That’s the equivalent of nearly half the world’s population watching a YouTube video each day, or every U.S. resident watching at least nine videos a day.
