Youtube is launched
The launch of youtube broke ground because of its user run media databse. The user would upload a video and other users would watch and upload their own videos. This proccess made uploading and sharing media, educational videos, and watching cats much more entertaining. I myself have a youtube account and post videos of my band and i show them to my friends and family all the time. This very fun and helpful tool started the video websites we see today. -
