2. INTRODUCTION
YouTube is a video sharing website where users can upload,
view and share video clips. YouTube was created in February
2005 by three former PayPal employees. The company is
based in San Bruno, California, and uses Adobe Flash Video
technology to display a wide variety of user-generated video
content, including movie clips, TV clips and music videos, as
well as amateur content such as video blogging and short
original videos. Most of the content on YouTube has been
uploaded by members of the public, although media
organizations including CBS and the BBC offer some of their
material via the site.
