It is extremely hard to get concrete numbers on just how many videos are uploaded on a per hour / day basis, etc. In fact, I can't even find a definitive source on how many total videos Youtube had up to a specific date.

Thanks Megan! That is helpful. Also, did you see my tweet about the ID structure of Youtube ids? I'm not entirely convinced that their ids are truly random. If there was any structure to the ids, that might give clues as to the level of activity for a time range.
