| About
YouTube |
YouTube
is a video sharing website on which users can upload and
share 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, the BBC, UMG 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 over the
age of 18. The uploading of videos containing defamation,
pornography, copyright violations, and material encouraging
criminal conduct is prohibited by YouTube's terms of service.
Accounts of registered users are called "channels".
Company 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, and 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 15, 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.
ouTube 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 six billion
videos viewed in January 2009. It is estimated that 20
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 also estimated that in
2007 YouTube consumed as much bandwidth as the entire
Internet in 2000. In March 2008, YouTube's bandwidth costs
were estimated at approximately US$1 million a day. Alexa
ranks YouTube as the fourth most visited website on the
Internet, behind Google, Yahoo! 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 which will allow the
companies to post full-length films and television shows
on the site, accompanied by advertisements. The move is
intended to create competition with websites such as Hulu,
which features material from NBC, Fox, and Disney.
On October 9, 2009, the third anniversary of the acquisition
by Google, Chad Hurley announced in a blog posting that
YouTube was serving "well over a billion views a
day" worldwide.
Social
impact
Before the launch of YouTube in 2005, there were few simple
methods available for ordinary computer users who wanted
to post videos online. With its easy to use interface,
YouTube made it possible for anyone with an Internet connection
to post a video that millions of people could watch within
a few minutes. The wide range of topics covered by YouTube
has turned video sharing into one of the most important
parts of Internet culture.
An early example of the social impact of YouTube was the
success of the Bus Uncle video in 2006. It shows a heated
conversation between a youth and an older man on a bus
in Hong Kong, and was discussed widely in the mainstream
media. Another YouTube video to receive extensive coverage
is guitar, which features a performance of Pachelbel's
Canon on an electric guitar. The name of the performer
is not given in the video, and after it received millions
of views The New York Times revealed the identity of the
guitarist as Jeong-Hyun Lim, a 23-year-old from South
Korea who had recorded the track in his bedroom.
YouTube was awarded a 2008 George Foster Peabody Award
and cited for being "a 'Speakers' Corner' that both
embodies and promotes democracy." |
