The New Yorker has two excellent articles on the roots of YouTube: "Streaming Dreams" (http://nyr.kr/zR8z0R) & "The Future of YouTube" (http://nyr.kr/NoHXdX). The second video includes the first video, which credits, as well as the 20 oldest YouTube videos. I would love to see reports on how YouTube's $100 million investment (http://adage.com/article/digital/youtube-plans-investment-original-channels/233353/) in the new premium "channels" has gone.

Me at the zoo is the first video that was uploaded toYouTube. It was uploaded at 8:27 p.m. on Saturday, April 23, 2005 by the site's cofounder Jawed Karim, with the username "jawed" and recorded by his high school friend Yakov Lapitsky. He also created his YouTube account on the same day. The nineteen-second video was shot by Yakov Lapitsky at the San Diego Zoo, featuring Karim in front of the elephants, professing his interest in their "really, really, really long trunks". It currently has 30 million views.
