100 hours of Video is Uploaded to YouTube Every Minute
Over 100 hours of video are uploaded to YouTube every minute, it has been revealed.
The Google-owned video sharing site, which recently hit one billion monthly visitors, announced the figure as it celebrates its eighth birthday.
"When YouTube's site first launched in May 2005, we never could have imagined the endless ways in which you would inspire, inform and entertain us every day," the company said.
"Over the years, you've continued to surprise and delight us. And the past year was no exception. Who would have guessed that a tux-rocking K-pop star would shatter records left and right or that Sesame Street would go global with 1 billion views?
"That's one of our favorite things about our global audience - you're as unpredictable as you are creative and irreverent.
"We'd like to thank you for making YouTube the special place that it is. For showing us how video can create connections, transcend borders and make a difference."
