YouTube was launched 5 years ago and now 2 billion viewers use it daily.
Yes: every day YouTube obtains more than 2 billion visitors. According to Google, YouTube’s possessor, that
“ ‘2 billion’ is double the number of people who tune into US’s 3 prime time TV stations.”

But the company is distant from being satisfied. Chad Hurley, Cofounder, told this on the subject:
“Two billion video streams are a large number but on average people are only spending 15 minutes a day on the site compared to five hours a day watching TV. I don’t think we could have ever planned or imagined we would get to the scale or the size we are today. We were mostly trying to create a video solution for ourselves based on our own frustrations. We are proud of what we have achieved so far, but we have a lot of work ahead.”

The site is a superb video hosting place with the easy slogan of “Broadcast Yourself.” It defends others’ copyrights and does not allow users upload copyright-sensitive stuff. YouTube’s development so far has been commendable and expectantly the site will persist to supply new and quality service to us.
