1 billion views a day

I think it's fair to say that YouTube has changed the way we view the world, and in particular has changed the whole entertainment industry. It has rewritten the rules. The staggering fact is that 1 billion hits a day are now made on the site, which is staggering, especially when you consider that the site was officially launched only four years ago. It was taken over a year later by Google. Co-founder Chad Hurley blogs on the milestone. The only thing missing from their perspective, I suppose, is that YouTube still does not make money. But when you're that successful, does it matter?
