[qi:_newteevee] Facebook has become such an integral part of life for more than 175 million people that little about the company really surprises me anymore. A few months ago, they became world’s largest online photo site. Today, Liz Gannes points out over at NewTeeVee that the site is getting a whopping 260,000 415,000 video uploads a day, nearly 40 percent of which are from webcams. These are random videos that people have casually recorded and uploaded. Sure, that’s nothing compared to 15 hours of video uploaded per minute to YouTube, but it’s still a stunning number. Of course, when you have an audience that is the size of Facebook, any service you introduce can be real big, real fast. (Read the full story on NewTeeVee with additional details.)
