This was the announcement by YouTube in its blog post on 23rd January. In this content piece, it delved out many of the latest milestones it achieved.

In relation to the benefit of users, it means:

    * Video of 1 hour duration is uploaded on YouTube per second.
    * Video of 24 hours duration is uploaded per 24 seconds.
    * Video of 9 months duration is uploaded per 2 hours.
    * Video having value of 10 years is uploaded daily.
    * Video worth 1 century is uploaded per 10 days.

Apart from this, YouTube launched a website onehourpersecond.com. This site amusingly envisages certain things which could be completed in different time period. It initiates with 1.5 seconds equal to 91 minute of video upload (“the International Space Station completes one orbit of the Earth”) and finishes with video upload of 3.8 million years to YouTube (“time as we know it begins, reaches the present day, and keeps ticking on into the future…”). This is equal to video of 13.75 gigayears.

This statistics of 60 hours in one minute is 30% rise in 8 months gone by. And, the statistics related to per day viewing is 25% rise in equal time period. In May 2011, YouTube declared that it crossed the mark of video upload of 35 hours in one minute and that of 3 billion video viewing in one day.

Although YouTube couldn’t realize its aim of video upload of 72 hours in one minute yet with the help of its home-page’s important redesign and introduction of as many as 100 fresh channels, this would soon happen in the current year 2012.
