YouTube Joins Facebook in Billion-User Club

Google-owned video platform claims an audience equal to 10 Super Bowls

During an event Wednesday night for Los Angeles-based advertisers and agencies, YouTube announced that it attracts more than one billion unique users each month. That positions YouTube as the as the world’s second biggest social network (though it’s not always considered a social network).

YouTube put the milestone in context by noting that it means almost half of the people on the Internet visits YouTube each month and that’s equal to about 10 Super Bowl audiences (of course, the Super Bowl accumulates its audience over a three or four hour window of time).
