YouTube team
YouTube was born in May 2005. Seven years have passed, and today, with the help of it, our users share with each other
video instructions ,
reports ,
home videos ,
funny stories ,
music videos and many others.
Last year, on the birthday of video hosting, we turned to you, our users, with
thanks for making the last six years of YouTube truly beautiful. Then, a year ago, you uploaded a 48-hour video to YouTube every minute. Today we celebrate the seven-year anniversary and are pleased to announce your new record. Now 72 hours of video is uploaded to YouTube every minute. In other words - this is as much as three, not two days, video per minute. For comparison: the duration is 61
Royal Wedding , 1,194 commercials with
Nyan the Cat and 1,674
Guitar songs.
We have come a long way in these seven years. YouTube began with a few videos shared by friends. Today it has become a global platform accessible to anyone, anywhere and from any device. This year was really important for us. We helped create new channels on YouTube,
redesigned the site to make it easier for you to find, watch and subscribe to videos that you like. You gave us to understand that we are moving in the right direction: the number of subscriptions has increased by 50%, and 800 million people watch three billion videos a month on YouTube.
