YouTube Upload Volume
July 28, 2009
Short honk: I saw this factoid in TechCrunch a while ago. I neglected to pull it out. In May 2009, MG Siegler reported that “every minute just about a day’s worth of video is … uploaded to YouTube.” You can read the story on TechCrunch. The metrics are, according to TechCrunch:
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.
Bottomline: lots of video with more coming. iPhone users are videographers with black belts. Now when will the Google unleash its automated video findability technology?
