here are 10 facts you did not know about
YouTube YouTube was actually founded by
three former PayPal employees they
decided to leave PayPal and start their
own website and when they sold YouTube
Shin got three hundred and ten million
dollars
Hurley got three hundred and thirty
million dollars and then kerim cat sixty
million dollars so it appears that he
got gypped when his two friends got
three hundred million and he only got 60
million and by the way I don’t know if I
pronounced that right but his name is
spelled kar I am so i think that’s karim
kerim i don’t know but he only got 60
million while the other two got 300
million when they sold youtube so he got
gypped YouTube is the second largest
search engine second only to Google and
to me that’s not surprising because I
hate being in Yahoo but that’s just me
in 2007 YouTube used more bandwidth than
the entire Internet did in 2000 YouTube
by itself used more bandwidth than all
of the Internet in 2000 that’s pretty
cool someone was actually arrested for
doing graffiti and posting it to YouTube
now that’s pretty funny to me how they
made a legitimate arrest based off of a
YouTube video I know that’s probably not
that interesting or surprising to you
but I’ve never really thought about that
how YouTube could help him help you know
stop crime or you could get arrested for
what you put on YouTube I don’t know
it’s just kind of cool to think about
the first video to get a million views
was actually a Nike ad by Cristiano
Ronaldo hopefully I said that right he
uploaded a video or not he Nike uploaded
a video called golden touch it was an ad
with him in it and it was the first
video to reach a million views on
YouTube every second 46,000 videos are
being viewed on YouTube
so right now 46,000 different videos are
being watched that is crazy over 4
billion hours of videos are watched each
month HD didn’t come out on YouTube till
2009 and in the first days of YouTube
when they first created the site they
put a post on Craigslist offering $100
to girls that will two attractive girls
that will post 10 videos to YouTube
that’s pretty funny when they first made
the site they put an offer on Craigslist
saying if you upload 10 videos to
YouTube and you’re an attractive girl
they’ll pay you $100 which I mean
that is a good way to drive traffic to
your site to be honest and there you go
that is ten facts you did not know about
YouTube hopefully you enjoyed and I’ll
probably do a part two or maybe even
make this a series where I just do ten
facts like every other day or something
like that I enjoyed reading about it I
am I’m actually really interested in
statistics about YouTube I don’t know
that’s just me and all these things were
pretty cool to me so hopefully you
enjoyed and let me know what you think
