Today we will discuss the prevalence and importance of level of participation by the public regarding the Iran situation. First, a statement made by YouTube:
"We are receiving the equivalent of TWENTY HOURS of video [about Iran] every MINUTE".
Even assuming that a lot of this is duplicate, even if exactly duplicate, this is a staggering figure. If we retrograde this a week (and assume a constant rate), we will get:
7 days X
24 hours per day X
60 minutes per hour X
20 hours of media per minute =
————————————
201,600 hours of video, so far.
That is equivalent to 23 years of video, so far, on the Iranian situation. Just a tad longer than the time passed since the Islamic Revolution that brought the current regime to power there. Holy Cow (no pun intended).
Another way to look at the data is to see the density of the sending points, as made possible by a YouTube/Google Map Mashup to follow.
