At eight, not many organizations or businesses would have the kind of success that YouTube has, but technology, internet, and innovation, have driven the video sharing website to a top-choice destination on the web. YouTube was founded on May 20th, 2005 and has had several milestones in its less-than-a-decade history.
“More than 100 hours of video are uploaded to YouTube every minute. That’s more than four days of video uploaded each minute! Every month, more than 1 billion people come to YouTube to access news,
answer questions and have a little fun. That’s almost one out of every two people on the Internet,” the website said in a
blogpost.
“And so, this Monday, on our eighth birthday, we’d like to thank you for making YouTube the special place that it is. For showing us how video can create connections, transcend borders and make a difference. In short, thanks for making us better in big ways and small ones, too. We can’t wait to see what you come up with next.”
YouTube had its first video view surpass
the 1 billion mark months ago, and YouTube also
announced paid subscription channels weeks back.
