Argh, I have to learn to proofread. It's worse than that, I said "five to 6,000 million" - I meant, roughly 5,000,000,000 to 6,000,000,000 unique videos.

Which is a lot ... since there are 7,530,000,000 people in the world, that's almost one unique video watched on youtube per person per day!

If you're American, 6,000,000,000 (six thousand million) is one billion.

But when I grew up (in Australia) I was taught a billion was one million million, not one thousand million.... hence why I prefer to use the term "one thousand million" rather than "one billion".
Haha. Yes, I believe the Brits do this as well. Express billions in thousand millions.
