Google says its YouTube property, five-years-old on Monday, is getting upwards of two billion views a day, up from one billion in October and "nearly double the prime-time audience of all three major US television networks combined." It also has the second most popular search engine in the world, but has yet to break even as far as anyone knows. Google bought the thing at the end of 2006 for $1.65 billion.
