How many people watch these videos? The average YouTube video is viewed by about three-thousand people. That statistic got us thinking. With millions of interested singles on the site every day, why not use YouTube as a dating site? Would people actually watch this YouTube dating video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vpGi7kFiddQ .On its face value, it is really not such a bad idea. But then we realised that YouTube is an international site and most of the people that view these videos do not live anywhere near each other. Well, that stinks.
