Information Madness

Youtube, the name that is known to half the population of the world has reached the biggest landmark today. The google blog released some statistics about Youtube and you would be surprised to know that Youtube now serves 3 billion views a day.

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 the blog

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.
