The video-sharing site reports a 37% increase in video uploaded per minute in the past six months and a 100% increase from last year. This is likely due in no small part to increased upload times and the recent expansion of YouTube's live streaming platform.
YouTube also passed 3 billion views in one day -- a 50% increase compared to last year -- over this past weekend.
YouTube announced these stats in a blog post Wednesday celebrating its sixth birthday (apparently a belated birthday, as most people consider it to have been born in February). We're interested to see what these stats look like on YouTube's seventh birthday, with the addition of the site's expanded movie rental service and more sophisticated partner programs.
