A vida em vídeo

Youtube considerado invenção do ano

"But if YouTube is the Invention of the Year, who exactly invented it?
Let's be clear: we know who started it. That would be three twentysomething guys named Steve Chen, Chad Hurley and Jawed Karim. At a Silicon Valley dinner party one night in 2004 they started talking about how easy it was to share photos with your friends online but what a pain it was to do the same thing with video.
So they did something about it. They hacked together a simple routine for taking videos in any format and making them play in pretty much any Web browser on any computer. Less than a year after its launch, YouTube has become a media giant in its own right. Hurley and Chen sold the company to Google for $1.65 billion. "
