YouTube uploads from mobile devices has increased 400 percent since the release of the iPhone 3GS last friday. Google notes that even though the iPhone 3GS created a giant spike in mobile video uploads, it is also a part of a growing trend where during the last six months upload rates have jumped 1,700 percent.

“This growth represents three things coming together: new video-enabled phones on the market, improvements to the upload flow when you post a video to YouTube from your phone, and a new feature on YouTube that allows your videos to be quickly and effortlessly shared through your social networks. It takes just a minute to connect your YouTube account to your Facebook, Twitter and Google Reader accounts. Complete a simple, one-time connection on our upload page to allow all your friends and followers to get a real-time stream of your uploads to YouTube, which can be essential in this age of citizen reporting and ubiquitous sharing.”
