YouTube Reports 1700% Jump In Mobile Video

YouTube is reporting that in the last six month uploads from mobile phones have jump 1700%; and since the iPhone 3GS with video came out last Friday uploads have increased by 400% every day.

YouTube reports that the growth is being driven by three overlapping developments:

• new video-enabled phones
• improvements in upload flow when posting from a phone
• a new feature that allows videos to be easily shared on social networks.

It takes just a minute to connect a YouTube account to Facebook, Twitter and Google Reader accounts. Complete a simple, one-time connection on our upload page and followers get a real-time stream of your uploads to YouTube.

The YouTube community is also teaching each other how to use this technology, doing product reviews and comparisons,
and making test videos.
