2005年1月,28岁的查德·赫尔利和27岁的华裔青年陈士骏拍下了一次搞笑的晚餐会录像,两人想把这段录像与旧金山的朋友一起分享。但由于视频文件太大,每次电子邮件都被拒绝发送。于是两人决心设计出一种简单易行的视频共享方案,最终他们在车库里创办了YouTube.com(原意为“你的电视机”)网站。谁也没想到,如今它的视频日浏览量突破了1亿次,相当于2/3的美国网民每人看了一次。2006年,Google以16.5亿美元收购YouTube,两个毛头小伙子一夜之间变成了超级富翁。
In January 2005, 28-year-old Chad Hurley and 27-year-old Chinese teenager Chen Shi-jun photographed a funny dinner video. The two wanted to share this video with friends in San Francisco. However, because the video file is too large, every email is rejected. So they decided to design a simple and easy video sharing program. Eventually they set up a YouTube.com (original “Your TV”) website in the garage. No one thought of it. Today, its video daily page views have exceeded 100 million times, equivalent to 2/3 of the U.S. netizens. In 2006, Google bought YouTube for $1.65 billion. The two young boys became super rich overnight.
