YouTube: Media Story Of The Year
Here’s a timeline that may or may not make you angry:
January 2005: YouTube housed in a Menlo Park garage.
May 2005: YouTube site “up-and-running.”
December 2005: Official launch.
August 2006: Co-founder Chad Hurley tells Charlie Rose he sees YouTube “building the next generation platform to serve media worldwide.”
October 2006: Google buys YouTube for $1.65
billion.
It’s hard to imagine a media story bigger in 2006 than YouTube’s $1.65 billion sale to Google.
