YouTube is the Model T of Internet Video
A hundred years ago Henry Ford introduced the Model T and took us from early-adopter horseless carriages into the modern mass-market automobile era. Web video feels a lot like that right now and today's equivalent for the Model T would have to be YouTube. We are constantly impressed by how much it's growing. Here are some stats from our web crawler: 600 million media urls (and adding more than a million every day) 3.3 billion web pages link or embed media 41 million content authors have created media 600 times a second we find a link or embed to a known media url 13 times a second we find a new media url 1 time a second we find a new content author This all looks pretty incredible but it's really just getting started. When HTML5 video comes along and every mobile phone you can buy includes a video camera it will make today's video growth seem quaint by comparison.
