YouTube - Numbers to the success story
In February 2005 a website phenomenon named YouTube
appeared on the internet.
As a webpage that allowed amateurs, as well as professional
artists to easily upload and manage content, YouTube rapidly
grew in popularity and size.
The demand for a site hosting videos was so high, that in less
than a year after its launch, YouTube already boasted 8 million
views per day.
Today YouTube is available in 61 different languages, across 56
countries.
Due to its mobile site, allowing users to upload and view content
from almost everywhere, YouTube has enjoyed a huge surge in
recognition and fame.
Each month over six billion hours of videos are watched on
YouTube doubling the amount of the preceding year.
By March 2010, 24 hours of video material were uploaded each
minute, this being 4 hours more than the previous year.
2015: Every single minute 300 hours of video content are
uploaded to the website, meaning that the uploads of one single
day can keep you busy watching videos for approximately three
weeks straight.
YouTube truly is one of the most explosive internet websites in
existence, becoming the third most popular webpage (according
to www.mostpopularwebsites.net) in under ten years time.
Its numbers have been consistently rising since its birth in 2005
and are expected to climb even further.
YouTube is, without a doubt, a website with numbers to be
watched.
