YouTube announced in a blog post that people around the world are now watching a billion hours of YouTube videos every single day.

"Around the world, people are spending a billion hours every day rewarding their curiosity, discovering great music, keeping up with the news, connecting with their favorite personalities, or catching up with the latest trend."
