YouTube Maintaining Dominance in 2010
January 12, 2010 |17:03 | You Tube News By : Team X
YouTube is one of the most popular video sharing services in the world. This is a rather simple service that allows a, registered, user to upload an unlimited number of videos. Each video is limited to either 10 minutes and 59 seconds or 2 GB. YouTube understands that not everyone wants to be a registered user. For those users - they can view videos, do keyword searches and post comments but will not be able to upload videos.
YouTube is a massive community of over 100 million viewers as such it has strict "Community Guidelines." These guiding principles are established to protect YouTube and the community at large - "uploading videos containing defamation, pornography and copyright violations" is prohibited by YouTube's terms of service.
Back in 2005, three very young men - Jawed Karim, Steve Chen and Chad Hurley founded YouTube. As the story goes - Steve and Chad developed YouTube because they were having issues sharing videos that were taken at Steve's apartment. Although, there is a debate on the validity of this story, it's what Chen and Hurley are sticking to. The first YouTube video ever uploaded was of Jawed Karim, at the San Diego Zoo. It is an 18 second video that was uploaded on April 23, 2005 - "Me at the zoo." YouTube's success has been rapid and disciplined.
