Key metrics for measuring success include engagement, advocacy, conversions, and sharing of content rather than just impressions. Integration of social media insights across departments is important for achieving results.

YouTube was created by Chad Hurley, Steve Chen, and Jawed Karim in 2005. The three founders knew each other from working together at another Internet start up, PayPal . In fact, Hurley designed the PayPal logo after reading a Wired article about the online payment company and e-mailing the startup in search of a job. YouTube was initially funded by bonuses received following the eBay buy-out of PayPal. You could argue that if there was no PayPal, there would be no YouTube. As of February 2011, YouTube has 490 million unique users worldwide per month, who rack up an estimated 92 billion page views each month. We spend around 2.9 billion hours on YouTube in a month — over 325,000 years. And those stats are j ust for the main YouTube website — they don’t incorporate embedded videos or video watched on mobile devices. http://www. youtube.com/user/McDonaldsUS?blend=4&ob=5 http://mas hable.com/2011/02/19/youtube-facts/
