the history of youtube

The dinner that started YouTube

The 2005 was a time where the internet connection was practically nil. There were no applications or social networks to be able to share the images or videos that were made and there was only email as the only method.

So it was that one night, a certain Chad Hurley, along with his two other friends, they came up with an idea to design a platform or an application that could share videos regardless of the weight of it. It was only enough to make a video at a dinner and suddenly all the light bulbs went on in their heads. That's how YouTube came about.

The first video of its history

The first video in history marked a before and after without a doubt in his career. Well, it was not until April 23, 2005 when YouTube allowed the upload of elements such as videos.

It was not until months later, when the platform uploaded a cover of two young people dancing to the song of the famous music group Backstreet Boys and it went viral. The success of the video was such that it reached 6 million views.

the first brand

YouTube took another step forward in success when a well-known brand decided to advertise and promote their product on YouTube. It was neither more nor less than Nike.

Success and Google
