YouTube hits one billion monthly users
YouTube, the world's largest online video-sharing platform, today
said it now has more than a billion unique users every single month, or
nearly one out of every two people on the Internet visits the
Google-owned site.
"If YouTube were a country, we'd be the third largest in the
world after China and India. Nearly one out of every two people on the
Internet visits YouTube," the YouTube Team said in a blog post.
"PSY (the South Korean rapper) and Madonna would have to repeat
their Madison Square Garden performance in front of a packed house
200,000 more times. That's a lot of Gangnam Style!" said the
fast-growing video website.
From the aspiring filmmaker in his basement and the next great
pop musician, to the fans all around the world who tune in, subscribe
and share their favourite videos with the planet, thank you for making
YouTube what it is today. You have truly created something special, said
the YouTube Team.
Founded in 2005, YouTube allows billions of people to discover,
watch and share originally-created videos. In 2006, Google bought the
website for USD 1.65 billion
