On February 15, 2005 YouTube made its debut on the internet with the invitation to narcissists worldwide to "Broadcast Yourself".
In the four years that it has been around, the video-sharing website has become the third-most visited place on the web.
The story goes that founders Chad Hurley and Steve Chen dreamt up the idea when faced with the problem of sharing video footage taken at a dinner party.
The third founding member was Jawed Karim who is the star of the first YouTube video called Me at the Zoo.
Since its arrival, YouTube has been used by millions to document, incite, promote, expose and entertain. We've been privy to politicians falling asleep on the job and falling off their chairs, live footage of human childbirth and police caught on tape shooting people in the head.
If you can ignore the hype over copyright infringement, messy censorship policies and privacy, YouTube can actually be good for you. - The Independent
