YouTube is now 5 years old: this was the first video

It’s hard to believe that YouTube is now 5 years old. Although the domain was apparently registered in February 2005, this was the first video, posted on April 23, 2005:

It’s not a very exciting video, or very funny, considering it’s in the comedy category. Hey that’s YouTube for you, and the internet in general for that matter. You take the good with the bad but it’s all there. In fact, YouTube now serves more than 1 billion videos per day!

    Boy, video sharing has come a long way in 5 years!

    Sure has, but YouTube is waaaay ahead of any other video network in terms of numbers.

    It's interesting that video conversation networks haven't taken off yet. I guess that time will come, at some point.
