In principle, one could say, “What is YouTube, everyone can see.” It is known that behind the name of this hidden world’s most popular video service. But a few things about YouTube may not know.
1. When it really created a YouTube
The domain was registered on 14 February 2005. But birthdays are celebrated in May, because it was then launched a beta service. The official launch of YouTube in turn, is dated to December 2005 year.
2. YouTube was sold one year after the start of the service
Google owns YouTube, but it is not founded. The site was acquired by Google in October 2006 for $ 1.65 billion.
3. From the outset was popular
Just one month after the release of the beta version of YouTube benefit 3 million people. In February 2006, users were already 3 times more (9 million). In June 2006, users were already 27 million. It is estimated that in 2007 YouTube consumed as much bandwidth as the entire Internet in 2000.
4. Perhaps not have been possible if not for PayPal
What is gingerbread windmill, you can ask. And it has quite a lot. Well, Chad Hurley, Steve Chen and Jawed Karim, namely the founders of the site, met while working at PayPal. The latter was acquired by eBay in 2002, and PayPal employees were paid on this occasion extra pay. It was for the money YouTube was founded.
5. YouTube was not the first video service on the network
The first was the fact Share your world. It was created in 1997 and is actually available today . The site looks, however, as if stopped in time. And no wonder – Services Share your world started simply too early, bandwidth was too weak, the then spun cells vile-quality video cameras were expensive and not very popular. YouTube shot an ideally in time.
6. But in the beginning the idea was quite different
At the very beginning, when the three founders just beginning to work, YouTube was supposed to be … dating site, whose main element was to be video. He then called the “Tune In Hook Up”. Seriously.
7. Today’s Stats stun
YouTube is used by over a billion people. Within every minute on the service sent 300 hours of recordings. As many as half views of YouTube videos made on mobile devices.
8. In 2014 years this video Pole was the most viewed in the world

10. YouTube = music
There is a modest company, which accounts for 40 percent of the music on YouTube’ie views. Founded four years ago, for a simple reason – artists and music publishers had enough of unofficial music videos on Google Video and too low share in the ads YouTube. Universal Music Group, Sony Music Entertainment and Abu Dhabi Media have created thus a separate place for music. Later they were joined by Google itself, buying 7 percent of the company’s shares. In this way we are Vevo. If you listen to music on YouTube’ie, probably on official channels creators just you get on Vevo.

As soon somewhere on the Internet for discussion of a topic, there is always someone who paste a link to something that has to relate to the subject. When you click it turns out that it was “Never Gonna Give You Up”. Congratulations, you have been suckered and zrickrollowany. How many people usłyszałoby about Rick Astleyu, if not for YouTube? Probably much less.
13. The problem of piracy still exists
And while we’re on the topic of music, then we can not forget about piracy, which is still on YouTube’ie mass. Google launched, it is true, algorithms for protecting copyrights (ie. Content ID). Content ID filter permits a copyright owner to search the contents of YouTube and blocking access to any videos that contain at least a fragment of copyright protected content. However, piracy is like a hydra – cut off one head, and in its place appears a few others. Enter the search YouTube for “Gangnam Style”. You will receive 2 630 000 results. Not all will violate copyrights, but let it be though 10 percent …
14. YouTube and power is enough? Not really
The War of the video in the network Facebook has joined quite late. But as the storm goes. Several different studies have shown that Facebook has become the number one when it comes to sending private video and recording company. Perhaps it will happen so that we threw on Facebook personal recordings and YouTube become a place of more professional video.
15. YouTube new TV?
The fact that YouTube is to replace the television, hear for years. And yet television still holds great. YouTube still introduces new options, such as live broadcasts. In this technology Gazeta.pl held a debate with the candidates for president , and soon promises to be the largest such transmission carried out so far. YT will be available live because the relationship with the festival Eurovision 2015.
