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.
