YouTube - The Unknown Story

With 4 billion hours of video watched each month on YouTube, and 72 hours of video uploaded every minute, YouTube is the world's most popular online video site.  As a result of the YouTube platform, people began creating video sharing websites where they could upload, share, and view videos. A billion people now watch YouTube videos, including educators and scholars. There is a small amount of evidence that YouTube has been researched and written about in academic literature, but little is known about YouTube research priorities.
