YouTube is a video sharing website where users can upload, view and share video clips. YouTube was created in mid February 2005 by three former PayPal employees.[1] The San Bruno-based service uses Adobe Flash technology to display a wide variety of video content, including movie clips, TV clips and music videos, as well as amateur content such as videoblogging and short original videos. In October 2006, Google Inc. announced that it had reached a deal to acquire the company for US$1.65 billion in Google stock. The deal closed on November 13, 2006.[2]
Unregistered users can watch most videos on the site, while registered users are permitted to upload an unlimited number of videos. Some videos are available only to users of age 18 or older (e.g. videos containing potentially offensive content). The uploading of pornography or videos containing nudity is not allowed. Related videos, determined by title and tags, appear onscreen to the right of a given video. In YouTube's second year, functions were added to enhance user ability to post video 'responses' and subscribe to content feeds.

History
YouTube's early headquarters in San MateoYouTube was founded by Chad Hurley, Steve Chen and Jawed Karim, who were all early employees of PayPal.[3] Prior to PayPal, Hurley studied design at Indiana University of Pennsylvania. Chen and Karim studied computer science together at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.[4] The domain name "YouTube.com" was activated on February 15, 2005,[5] and the website was developed over the subsequent months. The creators offered the public a preview of the site in May 2005, six months before YouTube made its official debut.
YouTube's current headquarters in San BrunoLike many technology startups, YouTube was started as an angel-funded enterprise from a makeshift office in a garage. In November 2005, venture firm Sequoia Capital invested an initial $3.5 million;[6] additionally, Roelof Botha, partner of the firm and former CFO of PayPal, joined the YouTube board of directors. In April 2006, Sequoia put an additional $8 million into the company, which had experienced huge popular growth within its first few months.[7]
During the summer of 2006, YouTube was one of the fastest growing websites on the Web,[8] and was ranked the 5th most popular website on Alexa, far out pacing even MySpace's rate of growth.[9] According to a July 16, 2006 survey, 100 million video clips are viewed daily on YouTube, with an additional 65,000 new videos uploaded every 24 hours. The website averages nearly 20 million visitors per month, according to Nielsen/NetRatings,[10] where around 44% are female, 56% male, and the 12- to 17-year-old age group is dominant.[11] YouTube's pre-eminence in the online video market is substantial. According to the website Hitwise.com, YouTube commands up to 64% of the UK online video market.[12]

Google purchases YouTube for $1.65 billionOn October 9, 2006, it was announced that the company would be purchased by Google for US$1.65 billion in stock. The purchase agreement between Google and YouTube came after YouTube presented three agreements with media companies in an attempt to escape the threat of copyright-infringement lawsuits. YouTube will continue operating independently, with its co-founders and 67 employees working within the company.[13] The deal to acquire YouTube closed on November 13, and was, at the time, Google's second largest acquisition.[14]

youtube is a website that people post videos on. the videos are not always pg, they can be very dirty. but they do have some good videos on it too, like if you type in "soundtrack to the great locomotive chase" it will give you just the soundtrack and no video, and i listened to it to help me with my part in band. good luck =D
if you set up an account, you can have it to be set as under 18...but there are still some bad videos even if they are for people under 18..
the StupidVideos website i think is very strict about offensive material. maybe you should try that site if youtube repulses you too much! glad i could help! :)
youtube is basically a website where you post and watch videos. you search for anything and most of the time youll get a laugh. but there are some disgusting videos out there, so make sure your grandkids are.... grown up enough.
