    Congratulations! Would you mind posting some stats about how much data storage this all takes up? The numbers must be staggering. I'm really curious about it, especially if each video is stored at multiple resolutions.

    These numbers are just a sign of how online video is shaking up media as we know it - it inspired me to write a blog post of my own on how online video might kill TV. Check it out:

    I spend at least two hours a day on YouTube. It's where I begin any research campaign and I also embed videos on my blog for my readers.

    Thanks YouTube!

    Youtube I love you... and I remain hopeful that you will bring back the focus on the community and have more opportunities for the little guys to grow HERE and not by linking outside of youtube like with blogs and such to grow our audiences and friends.
