YOUTUBE HISTORY
YouTube was founded by Chad Hurley, Steve Chen and Jawed Karim, who were all early employees of PayPal. Hurley studied design at Indiana University of Pennsylvania, while Chen and Karim studied computer science together at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
According to a story that has often been repeated in the media, Chad
Hurley and Steve Chen developed the idea for YouTube during the early
months of 2005, after they had experienced difficulty sharing videos
that had been shot at a dinner party at Chen's apartment in San Francisco.
Jawed Karim did not attend the party and denied that it had occurred,
while Chad Hurley commented that the idea that YouTube was founded
after a dinner party "was probably very strengthened by marketing ideas
around creating a story that was very digestible."
YouTube began as a venture-funded technology startup, primarily from a US$11.5 million investment by Sequoia Capital between November 2005 and April 2006. YouTube's early headquarters were situated above a pizzeria and Japanese restaurant in San Mateo, California. The domain name
www.youtube.com
was activated on February 14, 2005, and the website was developed over the subsequent months. The first YouTube video was entitled Me at the zoo, and shows founder Jawed Karim at San Diego Zoo. The video was uploaded on April 23, 2005, and can still be viewed on the site.
YouTube offered the public a beta test
of the site in May 2005, six months before the official launch in
November 2005. The site grew rapidly, and in July 2006 the company
announced that more than 65,000 new videos were being uploaded every
day, and that the site was receiving 100 million video views per day. According to data published by market research company comScore, YouTube is the dominant provider of online video in the United States, with a market share of around 43 percent and more than 14 billion videos viewed in May 2010.
YouTube says that 24 hours of new videos are uploaded to the site every
minute, and that around three quarters of the material comes from
outside the United States. It is estimated that in 2007 YouTube consumed as much bandwidth as the entire Internet in 2000. Alexa ranks YouTube as the third most visited website on the Internet, behind Google and Facebook.
The choice of the name
www.youtube.com
led to problems for a similarly named website, www.utube.com
. The owner of the site, Universal Tube & Rollform Equipment,
filed a lawsuit against YouTube in November 2006 after being overloaded
on a regular basis by people looking for YouTube. Universal Tube has
since changed the name of its website to www.utubeonline.com
. In October 2006, Google Inc. announced that it had acquired YouTube for US$1.65 billion in Google stock, and the deal was finalized on November 13, 2006. Google does not provide detailed figures for YouTube's running costs, and YouTube's revenues in 2007 were noted as "not material" in a regulatory filing. In June 2008, a Forbes magazine article projected the 2008 revenue at US$200 million, noting progress in advertising sales.
In November 2008, YouTube reached an agreement with MGM, Lions Gate Entertainment and CBS,
allowing the companies to post full-length films and television
episodes on the site, accompanied by advertisements in a section for US
viewers called "Shows". The move was intended to create competition
with websites such as Hulu, which features material from NBC, Fox, and Disney.
In November 2009, YouTube launched a version of "Shows" available to UK
viewers, offering around 4000 full-length shows from more than 60
partners. Viewers in the United States can rent full length films from YouTube, and the service is scheduled to be launched worldwide.
Starting in March 2010, YouTube started streaming all 60 cricket matches of the Indian Premier League worldwide for free, which YouTube claims is the first worldwide free online broadcast of a major sporting event.
On March 31, 2010, the YouTube website launched a new design, with the
aim of simplifying the interface and increasing the time users spend on
the site. Google product manager Shiva Rajaraman commented: "We really
felt like we needed to step back and remove the clutter."
In May 2010, it was reported that YouTube was serving more than two
billion videos a day, which it described as "nearly double the
prime-time audience of all three major US television networks combined."
YOUTUBE ???
YouTube is a video-sharing website on which users can upload, share, and view videos. Three former PayPal employees created YouTube in February 2005. In November 2006, YouTube, LLC was bought by Google Inc. for $1.65 billion, and is now operated as a subsidiary of Google. The company is based in San Bruno, California, and uses Adobe Flash Video technology to display a wide variety of user-generated video content, including movie clips, TV clips, and music videos, as well as amateur content such as video blogging
and short original videos. Most of the content on YouTube has been
uploaded by individuals, although media corporations including CBS, BBC, VEVO and other organizations offer some of their material via the site, as part of the YouTube partnership program.
Unregistered users can watch the videos, while registered users are
permitted to upload an unlimited number of videos. Videos that are
considered to contain potentially offensive content are available only
to registered users 18 and older.
