YouTube was invented in February 2005 by three former PayPal employees. Chad Hurley, Steve Chen and Javed Karim are co-founders of YouTube. Chen Hurley and Javed Karim were student of university of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign together, they were attending computer science classes. I think making of YouTube was not simple work. It took 6 months for 3 persons to get that site on internet.
