The first week of the iPhone 3GS boosted YouTube video uploads Apple iPhone 3GS has two nifty new features, one of course is the ability to record video. The second is direct uploading of video over either Wi-Fi or 3G Internet. Whether posting from the uber convenient direct-from-phone or the higher quality option of syncing with a computer then uploading, the iPhone quickly made its mark on the video sharing site. The iPhone is hardly the first mobile device to shoot video, or even upload directly, but the enormously successful 3GS launch numbers represented a major surge to the already popular video site. According to the YouTube blog: "In the last six months, we've seen uploads from mobile phones to YouTube jump 1700%; just since last Friday, when the iPhone 3GS came out, uploads increased by 400% a day. "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."
