YouTube Reaches 'Well Over' 1B Views Per Day

Google subsidiary takes the opportunity to gloat

Share

(Newser) – In a move ripped right from the McDonald’s playbook, YouTube’s logo today comes with the tag “1 billion views per day!” That’s right, YouTube now gets “well over a billion views a day,” according to the site's official blog. Sure, execs are bragging, writes Stan Schroeder of Mashable, “but one has to admit they have a lot to brag about.”

well of course they have 1 billion views a day, its practically the only really well known online video website. Since many enjoy watching people do stupid stuff (star wars kid, tron guy) its sure to get tons of views. Besides that, Youtube is international so 1 billion views is something not very surprising. the thing is that Google itself cannot really brag about it because they were not the ones who created it, they only bought it...
