LIFE AFTER YOUTUBE


YOUTUBE celebrates its fifth Aniversary.
Chad Hurley, Steve Chen and Jawed Karim didn't imagine what that project they were developing in 2005 would become in just one year. Didn't had a clue that Google was a year away of offering them 1.6 Billion Dollars for their company.
Probably the most powerful tool for sharing content of all times has made TV look like a
toy and regular people look like TV stars.
But what s really interesting about all this is that whenever you want to find out what's the kind of content people want to see and what's the kind of entertainment spectators are demanding right now, you just have to have a look at the number of viewers. No games, no faking, no advertising. This is the real thing. Only five years after, welcome to the youtube era.
