And today, we’re announcing a new milestone: <b>YouTube now has more than a billion unique users every single month</b>.<br /><br />What does a billion people tuning into YouTube look like?</div>
<ul style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.90625px;">
<li>Nearly one out of every two people on the Internet visits YouTube.</li>
<li>Our monthly viewership is the equivalent of roughly ten Super Bowl audiences.</li>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.899999618530273px;">What if you could send YouTube videos from your phone to your TV with a click of a button? It’s an idea we’ve been working on </span><a href="http://youtube-global.blogspot.com/2010/11/control-youtube-on-desktop-or-tv-with.html" style="background-color: white; color: #0033cc; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.899999618530273px; text-decoration: initial;">since 2010</a><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.899999618530273px;">, and today we’re taking the next step.</span><br />

We’re making it even easier to play videos from your phone or tablet on your TV, with a YouTube app update for Android and Google TV that automatically pairs your devices on the same WiFi.

Since your devices are connected in the cloud, you can also do things like find the next video to watch from your tablet or browse around the web on your phone, all while the video plays on TV. You can even connect multiple devices to the TV to have your friends add to the playlist. </span><br />

<strong>How does a piece of powerful Australian political theatre that saw accusations of misogyny hurled across the political divide become watercooler social media buzz the world over?</strong></div>
<div style="font-size: 13px; text-align: start;">
<strong><br /></strong></div>
<div style="font-size: 13px; text-align: start;">
As with many ‘overnight’ online successes, it’s the result of a long tail of strategic thinking.</div>
<div style="font-size: 13px; text-align: start;">
The video in question – whatever your view of the politics that surround it – is compelling, polemic and tense.</div>
<div style="font-size: 13px; text-align: start;">

And it’s had an extraordinary response – over 1.5 million views in less than a week. It has been watched so much that totalling the amount of minutes viewed equates to over 14.5 years of eyeballing – and it has been ‘liked’ on YouTube 15,000 times.</div>

There are no happy accidents involved. ABC Innovation and ABC News Online have been participating in YouTube Partner Events over the last few months and gained some key insights into how we use the platform better.</div>

<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">
We know that what we were doing in the past – simply channelling video en masse through to YouTube – was not working. We know people want a selection of video that is ‘watercooler’ content – content worth sharing, content that generates discussion and debate, powerful words and pictures. So we’re looking for that content actively, and putting it where people are – on social media platforms – instead of waiting for them to come to our News website.</div>

The traffic to the Gillard clip comes from a range of places. It was featured on the YouTube front page, embedded by a variety of international mastheads including <a href="http://www.newyorker.com/online/blogs/newsdesk/2012/10/julia-gillards-misogyny-speech.html" style="-webkit-transition: 0.2s linear; text-decoration: none;" title="The New Yorker">The New Yorker</a> and played back 57% of the time on mobile devices – a statistic that would have been jawdropping years ago, but is now the status quo. We’ve also been working with our international social media partner <a href="http://storyful.com/" style="-webkit-transition: 0.2s linear; text-decoration: none;" title="Storyful">Storyful</a> to make content like this available to major international media partners the minute it is available.</div>
