Yes, that’s billion with a “B”. YouTube is now getting over 1 billion views per day. Come to think of it – its like every person in India viewing the site at the same time! Imagine the kind of load balancing they must be doing to handle such huge traffic.
Youtube is boasting about this by updating their logo:
Head over to YouTube to the see the new logo. And while you are there, remember to check out the file name of the logo ;).
Apparently, the change in logo also coincides with the 3rd anniversary of Google’s acquisition of YouTube back in 2006.
