Happy Birthday Youtube
Written by Simon Clatworthy
Today, five years ago, the first Youtube video was uploaded. A very short video of one of the founders at the zoo. Its still online.
Its amazing that in only five years it has become such a central part of our viewing habits on the net and perhaps is the best example of a user generated content based service that we know of. Its also amazing that many companies still don’t consider user generated content when designing new services.
