YouTube history.

     YouTube was discovered in 2005 by Steve Chen, Chad Hurdley, and Jawed Karim, an eyewitness to the PayPal discovery in San Bruno, California. They used Flash Video technology, providing relatively good recording quality with little data consumption.

The first video, a 19-second amateur footage of Javed Karim at the San Diego Zoo, was posted to YouTube on April 23, 2005 at 8:27 pm timelock.

In November 2006, the purchase of YouTube by Google was completed for $1.65 billion. In addition to buying YouTube, Google had a similar service – Google Video. Google representatives did not close it, but used it as a place to search for videos on all video hosting sites. Google Video search currently includes YouTube.

On December 2, 2011, YouTube launched a new version of the website where videos display the main column on the page, similar to the newsbar on social networking sites. At the same time, a new version of the YouTube logo was introduced in a darker shade of red, the first style change in October 2006.
