Were it not for the fact of having been the inaugural recording most important video sharing site on the planet, the little movie pass unnoticed - which the grace to see someone in front of the cage the elephants? Little did Lapitsky that YouTube would be elected the best invention of the year in 2006 by Time magazine.
The site was founded in February 2005 by Karim and two other colleagues (Steve Chen and Chad Hurley) who worked at PayPal, an online service for payments and donations. The founders never imagined a “gold mine” that were creating. Just over a year later, in October 2006, YouTube was bought by Google for the extraordinary sum of $ 1.65 billion. In April 2008, it was estimated that the site had 83.4 million videos stored. See the video at:
