YouTube A to Z #HappyBirthdayYouTube
2015年5月28日木曜日
Every adventure starts somewhere, and YouTube’s began on Saturday, April 23, 2005, when "Me at the Zoo" became the first video uploaded to a new site no one had ever heard of. Captured at California's San Diego Zoo, the clip is a 19-second description of
what exactly makes elephants so cool
. Its brief runtime and casual setup suggest little of the online video craziness that would follow over the subsequent decade.
“Me at the Zoo” proved to be a simple distillation of the premise of a new platform, where anyone could just turn on a camera and broadcast themselves with ease. Who could have predicted that, in that same environment,
new
genres
, new forms of
expression
, and new paths to
stardom
would evolve? That engaging and unique personalities borne of this place could be
more influential
than Hollywood's biggest names? Or that
more than a billion people
from all corners of the globe would come together in that space to experience what the world creates, broadcasts, and shares?
Yeah. We were
surprised
, too.
For our 10th birthday this month, we've gone
from A to Z
celebrating the
adorable
,
empowering
,
awesome
,
weird and wonderful
moments that represent the many sides of YouTube. But, of course, if we're
really
going to capture 10 years of YouTube, we're going to need to do it in … a video:
Thanks for a wild and inspiring 10 years. Now, you've got
300
hours
of video to capture and share in the next minute
. So get back to it!

Celebrating nine years of YouTube through music
2014年5月29日木曜日
Trololo! YouTube turned 9 this May. And what multitudes are contained in that vast near-decade of video?
To call out just a few highlights in YouTube history, there are more than 120,000 videos inspired by
“Let it Go”
(based on videos posted with that title), half a million by
“Gangnam Style,”
and a stunning 1.5 million videos by
“Harlem Shake”
(that’s a lot of motorcycle helmets). These inspired riffs got us thinking about those magical moments when songs become bona fide trends—and people all over the world start remixing, covering, parodying, dancing, and lip-dubbing.
So to celebrate this year, we pay homage to the music you've made on YouTube. We got a bunch of your favorite performers together to cover some of the most memorable musical moments in YouTube’s history. The result is a mashup called
YouTube Birthday Karaoke Night
, featuring familiar faces like The Gregory Brothers, Chester See, Cimorelli and more (see if you can spot all 18).
Now raise your Cups ... ’cause Here it Goes Again. Call us Maybe?

Here’s to eight great years
2013年5月19日日曜日
When YouTube’s site first launched in May 2005, we never could have imagined the endless ways in which you would
inspire
,
inform
and
entertain
us every day.
Today, more than 100 hours of video are uploaded to YouTube every minute.
That’s more than four days of video uploaded each minute! Every month, more than 1 billion people come to YouTube to
access news
,
answer questions
and
have a little fun
. That’s almost one out of every two people on the Internet.
Millions of partners are creating content for YouTube and more than 1,000 companies worldwide have mandated a one-hour mid-day break to watch nothing but funny YouTube videos. Well, we made that last stat up, but that would be cool (the other stats are true).
Over the years, you’ve continued to surprise and delight us. And the past year was no exception. Who would have guessed that a tux-rocking K-pop star would
shatter records left and right
or that
Sesame Street would go global
with 1 billion views? That’s one of our favorite things about our global audience: you’re as unpredictable as you are creative and irreverent. Keeping that in mind (and in theme with our first-ever Comedy Week), we have a video to share celebrating funny moments in YouTube history:
And so, this Monday, on our eighth birthday, we’d like to thank you for making YouTube the special place that it is. For showing us how video can
create connections
,
transcend borders
and
make a difference
. For clicking
these links
even if you aren’t sure
what they’ll be
, but you
trust us
. In short, thanks for making us better
in big ways
and
small ones
, too. We can’t wait to see what you come up with next.
