This is remarkable, by any standard.
YouTube has just announced that over it has broken the 24 hour mark for videos uploaded every minute.
In mid-2007, six hours of video were uploaded to YouTube every minute. In January of this year, it became 15 hours of video uploaded every minute, “the equivalent of Hollywood releasing over 86,000 new full-length movies into theaters each week” as they described it back then.
In a post announcing the feat, YouTube puts it into context:
- The earth rotates 360 degrees as it orbits the sun
- The second hand on your bedside clock ticks 86,400 times
- The earth’s fastest rocket can reach Saturn
- The most skilled climber reaches Mount Everest’s summit
- 2.5 days go by on Jupiter
- One whole series of 24
Congratulations YouTube.
holy s**t!
Amazing… Youtube has slowly become a way of life and necessity in todays Internet. Just ask Justin Bieber.

Hi, thanks for the post. Just found you guys via Twitter Counter and will definitely keep reading, but where did you get the Saturn bullet? That would be one fast rocket indeed. It takes light 1.18 hours…
no wonder that when I get on youtube to watch just one clip, it typically takes me some 3 hours before I even notice that much time has passed. there is always something new to see.
