YouTube is celebrating the third anniversary of its acquisition by Google by showing off an awful lot of O's. The little video site that could announced on Friday it was now streaming a full billion video views a day -- the majority of which, I have to assume, consist of cats playing music and teens doing awkward dances.

Still, a billion views a day is nothing to say "Numa Numa" over. YouTube has come a long way in a short time -- evolving much, you might say, like the dance moves shown in its most viewed video of all time.
