YouTube’s First Video

by Kate Ottenberg on April 23, 2010

Today is the 5th anniversary of YouTube. Do you remember what it was like before online video? It’s really come a long way in such a short amount of time. And in that time, we’ve discovered that watching a cat flush a toilet is hilarious and fun to watch, As is serious made-for-web content that is professionally produced daily by organizations such as The New York Times. Thank you, YouTube, for all you’ve done for content (and all the distractions at work.)

Check out YouTube’s very first video from five years ago today:

It’s only been 5 years?!?!? That is crazy! In that short of time it has become the second biggest search engine on the web and has had billions of views (maybe even trillions?). Well, happy birthday youtube.
