YouTube: 24 hours of video uploaded every minute

By Comments (4)

When Andy Warhol said “in the future, everyone will be world-famous for 15 minutes,” he might have extended that time frame considerably should he known about YouTube in 1968.


YouTubeToday, the official YouTube blog has confirmed more than 24 hours of video is uploaded every 60 seconds.

Um, wow.

Last May, YouTube announced 20 hours of video was uploaded to YouTube every minute.

To put this into context, YouTube reminds us how much happens in 24 hours:

• The earth rotates 360 degrees as it orbits the sun

• The second hand on your bedside clock ticks 86,400 times

• The earth’s fastest rocket can reach Saturn

• The most skilled climber reaches Mount Everest’s summit

• 2.5 days go by on Jupiter

Here’s a chart that shows growth — in hours per minute — uploaded to YouTube since 2007 (click to enlarge):
