YouTube: a billion videos a day

YouTube's new logo upgrade on the company home page, boasting of 1 billion views a day.  It comes on the day of another milestone:  3 years since YouTube was bought by Google for a then-staggering 1.65 billion dollars.

With a monthly audience that flirts with the 350 million visitors, YouTube was celebrated last week the passing of a new course. On YouTube, the daily rhythm of video viewing has reached one billion. A "great moment in the short history" of the site as its CEO and co-founder.

Chad Hurley recognizes that three years after acquiring YouTube, things have changed even if we can not deny the founding principles of the site: videos available soon, a predominance of short clips, a platform most open as possible to user input.

The co-founder of YouTube suggests increasing the bandwidth that was accompanied by improved quality videos, while videos long as films have made their appearance and mode of access fee is under consideration. The platform destination for surfers and has gradually opened to professionals, and YouTube does not seem to do without music videos by signing agreements to broadcast hard-won with four major music companies.


Balance reaches toward Dailymotion
While YouTube is celebrating its one billion videos viewed daily, the French Dailymotion Announces have reached equilibrium and a fundraiser for 15 million euros. For Dailymotion, advertising will become more present and paid services will be launched soon. A new version should be created by next year and a foray into the field of video on demand pay is raised.
