And now, for something that has nothing to do with Easter Sunday.
Today, in 2005, the very first YouTube video was uploaded. The video was titled, “Me At The Zoo” the site’s co-founder Jawed Karim, with the username “jawed” and recorded by his high school friend Yakov Lapitsky. He created a YouTube account on the same day. The 18-second video was shot by Yakov at the San Diego Zoo, featuring Karim in front of the elephants in their old exhibit in Elephant Mesa, making note of their long trunks.
Business Insider ranked it the most important YouTube video of all time, stating that the first YouTube video is “representative of YouTube—it doesn’t need to be this fancy production; it can be approachable. The first Youtube video is something anyone could create on their own.”
