With YouTube’s eighth birthday just around the corner, on February 14, 2013, UK-based video production company Shorty Media has put together an infographic on the “Brief History of YouTube” to show their love for the online video sharing site.

Shorty Media’s infographic presents a timeline of the past eight years, as YouTube has grown from zero to over four billion video views a day (impressive, eh?).  The infographic runs through the company’s major milestones, from the first video uploaded in April 2005 to Google’s acquisition of the site in October 2006, one billion, two billion, three billion and four billion daily video views, the launch of True View ads and more.
