YouTube was founded by Chad Hurley, Steve Chen, and Jawed Karim, who were all early employees of PayPal. YouTube's early headquarters were situated above a pizzeria and Japanese restaurant in San Mateo, California.
The creators offered the public a preview of the site in May 2005, six months before YouTube made its official debut.
The first YouTube video was titled Me at the zoo, and shows co-founder Jawed Karim at the San Diego Zoo. The video was uploaded on April 23, 2005, and can still be viewed on the site.
During the summer of 2006, YouTube was one of the fastest growing sites on the Web, uploading more than 65,000 new videos and delivering 100 million video views per day in July. It was ranked the fifth most popular website on Alexa, far out-pacing even MySpace's rate of growth. According to a July 16, 2006 survey, 100 million video clips were viewed daily on YouTube, with an additional 65,000 new videos uploaded every 24 hours. The website averaged nearly 20 million visitors per month
