10 interesting facts about: YouTube

Video social network is probably one of the most important types of social media is the use of videos online. While I would say that Facebook is used more often than Youtube, I would say that once people go over to youtube.com, they stay there longer than they would at YouTube…. These are only my thoughts from my research on who long people spend on YouTube in a given session, so don’t take it as absolute fact.

But here are some interesting fact, taken from statistics of the YouTube press center.

1. The very first video uploaded was called “Me at the Zoo,” on 23rd April 2005.
2. By June 2006, more than 65,000 videos were being uploaded every day
3. YouTube receives more than 2 billion viewers per day.
4. Every minute, 24 hours of video is uploaded to YouTube.
5. The U.S. accounts for 70% of YouTube users.
6. Over half of YouTube’s users are under 20 years old.
7. You would need to live for around 1,000 years to watch all the videos currently on YouTube.
8. YouTube is available in 19 countries and 12 languages.
9. Music videos account for 20% of uploads.

And I thought this one very interesting:

10. YouTube uses the same amount of bandwidth as the entire Internet used in 2000.
