This month, Youtube was officially announced. Since changing its strategy, Youtube has experienced very significant events. In January 2006, video viewers on YouTube jumped to 25 million.Â
While in July 2006, this site has 65,000 videos uploaded every day and was visited 100 million times in one day.
