Youtube.com is a Video Sharing site started somewhat in 2005(February) by Chad Hurley, Steve Chen and Jawed Karim who were employed by PayPal at that time. It was somewhat influenced by Napster(which was Audio sharing) and provided with Video sharing Napster was soon closes within 3 years. Youtube wasn't closed because it was supported by Google.com which was a strong player in the internet field and backed You Tube.
Google took over You Tube in 2006 and Hurley studied design at Indiana University of Pennsylvania, while Chen and Karim studied computer science together at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaig.
It is said that the two developers developed You Tube as they were having big problems in sharing videos with their friends.
You Tube is now the biggest Video Sharing website having the Traffic Rank of 3 and there are many small sites like metacafe.com which also offers Video Sharing. There is also a Flag community in You Tube which regularly remove violated contents.
You Tube is now in various Countries
