Today, more than 48 hours of video are uploaded to the site every minute, a 37% increase over the last six months and 100% over last year.
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.
