Australian YouTube Statistics

2010

Did you know that YouTube has an official Australian blog?
• YouTube was launched officially in Australia on October 22, 2007 [1]
• YouTube is ranked the second highest social networking site in Australia [2]




• Facebook is the most popular social networking site accessed via a mobile (92%), followed by YouTube and Twitter (18%) and MySpace (9%) [2]

It is remarkably difficult to find statistics on Australian YouTube usage, not even the official YouTube blog lists any details.  Globally:

• A day’s worth of content updated every minute globally.[3]
• 70% of YouTube’s traffic comes from outside the US [4]
• Over 50% of 18-34 year-olds share videos often with friends and colleagues [3]
