Happy Birthday To You.... tube

Well, YouTube celebrates five years online this year – its 5th birthday was yesterday to be precise.

YouTube is the largest and well known video sharing website in the world.

Chad Hurley, Steve Chen, and Jawed Karim are the founders of YouTube. They became multi-millionaires after they closed a bargain with the search giant.
