YouTube Passes 2 Billion Videos View Per Day

http://steadystaterevolution.org/files/youtube.pngLess than a month after its fifth birthday, YouTube has announced that it has exceeded two billion video views per day.The announcement from the Google-owned video website comes as part of a larger initiative that the company is launching today to retell the history behind YouTube and its growth. Part of that campaign is the launch of “My YouTube Story” and the related YouTube 5 Year Channel.






The new YouTube 5 Year Channel is the landing page for the campaign. With it, YouTube intends to get users to submit videos about the impact YouTube has had on their lives. It will eventually be curated by Stephen Higgins, a documentary filmmaker. There is also an interactive time line depicting the social media platforms’s history and a collection of videos from celebrities discussing the five-year achievement.
We’ve been tracking YouTube’s explosive growth for some time, and the numbers are beyond impressive. There are now over 24 hours of video uploaded every minute to the site, but even that is overshadowed by the newly-announced two billion video views per day stat.

As part of the celebration, YouTube also created a very detailed infographic tracing the site’s history, which you can peruse below. We’re also including a video YouTube created to celebrate its fifth anniversary.
What do you think of YouTube’s newest achievement? Do the numbers surprise you? Has YouTube impacted your life? Let us know in the comments.

And even though Google announced an unlocked Android G1 around the 2008 holidays, people still preferred the iPhone 3G. Gizmodo has uncovered some leaked photos of a new handset which appear to be quite authentic. The first thing you would notice here is its shiny plastic finish, which is very much welcoming from the pale gray look on G1. Also this time around there is not physical keyboard present, which is a little disappointing. Though the touchscreen is large, but we know the current Android interface had some issues. The back side has a new surprise A 3.2 Mega Pixel camera, though even mid range phones for vendors like Nokia boast a 5.0 Mega Pixel camera these days. What would be interesting is the video capabilities of the G2 (if there are any). The current rumors suggest that this handset would hit the shelves...
