Every Minute, Almost A Days Worth Of Video Is Uploaded To YouTube
Today brings another amazing stat about YouTube: Every single minute, over 20 hours of video are now uploaded to YouTube.
Think about that for a minute. In that minute, nearly a days worth of footage will have been uploaded. And the pace is quickening.
Back in 2007, shortly after Google bought the service, it was 6 hours of footage being uploaded every minute.
As recently as January of this year, that number had grown to 15 hours, according to the YouTube blog. Now it’s 20 — soon it will be 24. That’s insane.
It’s true that YouTube is not making Google any money, but when a site has this much dominance over a market, one way or another, there will be a way to effectively monetize it.

It is amazing to think about how much video is actually uploaded to a site like utube. When you log on there you see all the different videos that are available but you never actually realize the amount of time, work, and video that actually goes into that site on a daily basis.
