4. YouTube
 YouTube was created by Chad Hurley, Steve Chen,
and Jawed Karim in 2005.
 The three founders knew each other from working
together at another Internet start up, PayPal.
 YouTube was funded by bonuses received following
the eBay buy-out of PayPal.
 You could say that if there was no PayPal,
there would be no YouTube.

5. YouTube
 There are two stories about the
creation of YouTube.
 The first was Karim’s inability to find
footage online of Janet Jackson’s
“wardrobe malfunction”.
 The second is when Hurley and Chen
were unable to share video footage of a dinner party
due to e-mail attachment limitations.

7. YouTube
 The First Rickroll
 The first instance of a “Rickroll” appeared on
YouTube way back in 2007.
 A rickroll is an internet joke
where someone posts a link
they say is to something
important. When people
click on the link, they go the
video instead.

 YouTube’s Annual April Fools Pranks
 For the last three years YouTube has pranked its
millions of users every April Fools Day. The first was
a classic — every video on the site’s homepage was
actually a Rickroll. In 2009 YouTube turned the site
upside down.
