YouTube Turns Five
YouTube Turns Five
Five years ago in May, 2005 the beta version of YouTube.com launched. Since that time, YouTube has taken off, hosting everything from popular viral videos to Presidential debates, and now has over 2 billion views per day (thats 23,000 per second). To celebrate, YouTube has launched a Five Year channel that highlights some of the important videos that have been on the site, and also reflections on YouTube from the likes of Conan OBrien, Katie Couric, and Pedro Almodovar.
Throghout the life of the Tech Desk we have highlighted some of our favorites, including the amazing video mashups, various Motown favorites, and early electronic newspapers.
