YouTube is Ten Years Old Today

Although it seems like it’s been around forever, YouTube is now ten years old. The domain www.youtube.com was registered on Valentines Day in 2005. Founders Chad Hurley, Steve Chen, and Jawed Karim (who met when they all worked at PayPal) thought it might fill a niche in making video sharing on the internet easier. And it certainly did. YouTube became a juggernaut, and was bought by Google in 2006. In honor of the occasion, mental-floss has posted the top YouTube video of each year since then.
