It's been a banner year for YouTube, at least so far. While it's not clear if the site will ever turn a profit, there's no denying that it has become more ubiquitous than ever. And the rise of video-enabled smartphones has only exacerbated the situation. According to a recent YouTube blog post, video uploads from mobile phones has risen 1,700 percent since the start of the year. Since the iPhone 3G S was released last week, mobile video uploads has jumped by 400 percent a day.
