Youtube- A brief history/explanation

YouTube is a video sharing website on which users can upload and share videos. Three PayPal employees created YouTube in February 2005. Around November 2006, YouTube, was bought by Google Inc. for $1.65 billion, and is now operated as a subsidiary of Google. The core company is located in San Bruno, California, and uses Adobe Flash Video to display a large amount of of user-generated video content (including movie clips, TV clips, and music videos), as well as amateur content( video blogging and short original videos). Most of the content on YouTube has been uploaded by individuals, but media corporations like CBS, the BBC, UMG and other companys offer some of their programs via the site, as part of the YouTube partnership program.

Unregistered users can view videos, and registered users are able to upload an infinite number of videos. Videos that are considered to contain offensive content are available only to registered users over the age of 18. You tube is a fun website easily used by anyone with a keyboard. Thumbs up
