there's a post on redit right now about how Youtube was created in response to the founders not being able to find a video of Janet Jackson's superbowl nip slip on the internet.
which means youtube is younger than that. Which is blowing my mind. I can't believe youtube is that recent an invention. I doubt a day goes by very often without me watching something on youtube.
Karim says his idea for what became YouTube sprang from two very different events in 2004: Janet Jackson's "wardrobe malfunction," during a Super Bowl show, and the Asian tsunami.
