Sorry, I'm having trouble reconciling those numbers. Assuming 2.5 Million users:
2000 Years of video watching a month comes out to about 7 hours/month/user.
5.7 Million hours a day comes out to over 2 hours/day/user, or about 60 hours/month/user.
I think one of those numbers is off by an order of magnitude ... Or is my my math wrong?

Your math isn't wrong, but the assumption that you have to register as a Justin.TV user in order to watch video is wrong.
In either case, the numbers still don't reconcile.
Is the 5.7 Million hours of video/day number right, or is the 2000 Years of video/month right?
2000 Years of video/month only works out to half a million hours per day ... not 5 million. They still differ by an order of magnitude.
Smanek - your right - I misplaced a decimal point - corrected above.
Thanks :)
You are correct user numbers are exciting but not everything.
One number that we use to gauge overall usage of the site is the total amount of video watched per month. It can be argued that for an online video site - the volume of video watched is the primary metric by which to define the success of the product.
In October 2008 there were over 2000 years of video watched on Justin.tv.
2000 years equals:
24,000 months 720,000 days 17,280,000 hours 1,036,800,000 minutes
Everyday over 570,000 hours of video are watched on the Justin.tv live video network.
That is quite a feat for an 11 person company don't you think?
