YouTube Mobile Uploads up 400% since iPhone 3GS

Today it was announced by Google that the amount of daily YouTube uploads from mobile devices have increased 400% since the launch of the iPhone 3GS. The 3GS has the ability to easily record and upload videos directly to YouTube. YouTube says that the increase in uploads since the release follows the trend of a 1700% increase in videos over the past six months.

“This growth represents three things coming together: new video-enabled phones on the market, improvements to the upload flow when you post a video to YouTube from your phone, and a new feature on YouTube that allows your videos to be quickly and effortlessly shared through your social networks. It takes just a minute to connect your YouTube account to your Facebook, Twitter and Google Reader accounts. Complete a simple, one-time connection on our upload page to allow all your friends and followers to get a real-time stream of your uploads to YouTube, which can be essential in this age of citizen reporting and ubiquitous sharing.”
