1st Youtube video uploaded 20 years ago
(CNN)– Twenty years ago on April 23 history was made.
The very first Youtube video was uploaded, and called “Me at the Zoo”.
The 19 second clip features Youtube Co-founder Jawed Karim in front of an elephant exhibit.
He was 25-years-old at the time.
Karim was one of the company’s three founders, all of whom previously worked at Paypal.
Youtube was a very fast success, and just 18 months later it would be sold to Google for $1.65 billion dollars worth of stock.
