The YouTube blog announced that the daily uploads directly from mobile phones to YouTube has been increased by 400% since last Friday when the iPhone 3GS launched. It didn’t mention specifically that those uploads came from the iPhone 3GS, but the video recording capability of the iPhone 3GS that makes it easier to post a video to YouTube could be the reason behind.
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.
