History of YouTube
On February 14, 2005, Jawed Karim, Steve Chen, and Chad Hurley registered their video-sharing site, YouTube.com. It was not until April 23rd of that year that the first YouTube video was uploaded. The eighteen-second video, entitled "Me at the Zoo" is of Jawed Karim at the San Diego Zoo and was uploaded to his channel. A few weeks later, beta testing began and started to attract around 30,000 visitors a day. At its' official launch in December, the website began to see more than two million views on its videos a day. YouTube began to gain more popularity and in Fall 2006, was acquired by Google.
