Youtube statistics…well possibly
May 26, 2009
I have found it is rather hard to get statistics of the usage on youtube. It seems the statistics I have found were from 2006 which is rather old and probably not valid now. However, through some more searching, I have found a blog of some statistics that were researched by the blogger done in 2008. A lot more relevent and up to date. What I found interesting was the categories that the video posts contain.
As a break down, march 17th 2008 78.3 million videos existed on youtube and on average 150,000 new videos everyday are being uploaded. But the most interesting fact is the category of the video that is being uploaded. The top share of the videos were music videos at 19.8% which is 15.5 million videos of the 78.3 milllion!
Update: Through related posts found on wordpress after I posted this, there was a link that says 20 hours of video gets posted up on youtube every minute! thats a lot.
