Aren’t we leaving out reason number ’5)’ for YouTube’s viral growth? Specifically, featuring copyrighted content. I first heard about YouTube from friends who would forward or recommend SNL clips. In pre-YouTube times, I actually remember unsuccessfully trying to describe the cheesiness of Journey’s “Separate Ways” video to people at work and the frustration I felt when I was unable to find it online. After YouTube exploded, I searched for “Separate Ways” and found it in two seconds. Long live YouTube!

Actually, it was conceived in 1998 but didn’t happen until I talked to Chad in 2004.

Liz,

Next interview, ask Chad if Jim Clark had anything to do with their success or at least jumpstarting their effort. I love how these kids act like they bootstrapped these ideas all by themselves and now they are the worlds next best internet entrepreneurs.

I will say this, I think the only reason FLASH took off as a viable progressive download format is because of YT. As an industry vet for the past 10 yrs, its also interesting to see the industry regress from true streaming back to progessive downloading.

Which commencement did you go to? I was at the 10:30 one, and it was quite different than your depiction above. I didn't stay for the 2:00, but I expect it would have been very similar. He only showed one video. you made up some stuff. this is crap.

I agree with the Quicktime comment. Quicktime is capable of being presented just like Flash, so the user experience would be similar. More importantly, however, I could easily use Apple TV to stream the video.

Quicktime works fine on Windows, after-all it is what drives iTunes.
