Like today 7 years ago, the first video titled "Me at the Zoo" was posted on YouTube and lasted 19 seconds. In terms of content it is not something special (specifically Yakov Lapitsky of YouTube finds out how big proboscis elephants have), but technologically it is the video that paved the way for today's phenomenon called YouTube…
On the occasion of the 7th anniversary of the first video, we present you some recent statistics of the popular video service:
- 60 hours of video are uploaded to YouTube every minute (one hour of video per second)
- More than 4 billion videos are watched every month.
- Every month more than 3 billion hours of video are watched
- Last year YouTube scored 1 trillion. views or otherwise 140 views for each person.
