  1. These 2 college dudes made it to share videos.

    Then some company bought it when the website started to get big, and the college dudes' hosting database was too small and slow.

    That's what made Youtube what it is today.


  2. wate is your name?

  3. YouTube, the brand, was invented by Interaction Designer Herbert Elwood Gilliland III while working at a start-up called Grand Illusion Studios in 1998 and 1999. The company was founded by Dr. Don Marinelli and Dr. Scott Stevens. It was based at the University Technology Research Center on Henry St. near Carnegie Mellon University campus.

    The company had developed a "Synthetic Interview" technology which displayed video clips when the user spoke or typed in keywords into an application. The video clips would then act like answers from an Eliza program, and would be displayed as answers.

    The Grand Illusion Studios co-founders brushed off the idea, because they were dead set on selling their Synterview technology. Gilliland made the original mock-up for YouTube's main video screen, and the company sold the Synterview technology to a Denver investor in 1998 for $40,000. Herb called Chad Hurley in 2005 and gave him the basic concept, the main user interface, instructed the unnamed start-up to use Flash video, told him that the main work was user authentication and management, coupled with video conversion technology, and a way for users to type comments. Herb asked for 1% but has not yet been compensated.
