YouTube Increases Upload Size, Loses Co-Founder

YouTube has increased the size of its standard uploads from 1GB to 2GB.

"The increase means you can upload longer videos at a higher resolution as well as large HD files directly from your camera," YouTube wrote in a blog post.

Users can also now share links directly to the HD version of their videos, and embed the HD version on their blogs or web sites. More details on the blog post.

In other YouTube news, The New York Times reports that YouTube co-founder Steve Chen has left the video site and is now working on an engineering project at Google, which owns YouTube.

"Steve shifted his focus to help with some Google engineering projects. He's still involved with YouTube and invested in its success," a spokesman told the Times.
