Youtube history
Hello Youtube users. Yes, after all, everyone from at least once watched a video on this service, and most of them watch videos on Youtube on average once a day. In the world there is no more popular video hosting.
With this topic, I am the banner series of materials about the great Youtube service (damn, I really love it;). You need to start from the very beginning, from the history of creation and formation. I hope you will be interested.
Many people know that the creators are 3 friends who previously worked at PayPal. During the creation of the Chad Harley service, Chad Hurley studied design at Indiana University of Pennsylvania when Steve Chen (Steve Chen) and Jawed Karim (Javed Karim) were students of the computer science department at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.

There is some confusion about the birthday of Youtube, chronologically the events are arranged in the following order:
How did it all start? According to a frequently used media ticker: Chad and Steve had a party that Javed couldn't attend. Share with him the video turned out to be very difficult. This was the starting point for creating the Youtube video hosting service. The guys were students and they conceived the service as a video dating site, proof of which is this cast .
At the initial stage, the organizers came up with such a move - every day to give Ipod to a random user, and it worked. According to Wikipedia, Sequoia Capital invested about $ 11.5 million in service from November 2005 to April 2006.
As I said, the public beta test was announced in May, the service grew rapidly. Already in July 2006. Statistics for the day showed the following data - 65,000 downloaded videos and 100 million views. By the way, such popularity has played a cruel joke with the creators of the service. For huge loads on their website utube.com, Universal Tube & Rollform Equipment filed a lawsuit. Later they changed the domain from utube.com to utubeonline.com
In October 2006 “Good empire”, Google, began the process of acquiring Youtube for 1.65 billion dollars, in November, the service was completely taken over by Google. I am sincerely happy about this.
The Russian version of Youtube (www.youtube.com) was opened on November 14, 2007 (most of the localized versions were opened during 2007) with the Peter Nalich Guitar clip.
Youtube's participation in April Fools' draws:
Youtube Awards - awarding the best videos in different categories in 2006 and 2007:

So, in the courtyard of 2010, my favorite Youtube reports about 2 billion views every day. I think the numbers speak for themselves, Youtube has become an integral part of the everyday life of every person using the Internet (either I still have / I hint Google OS). Well, and finally wish Youtube.Broadcast Yourself.
