this is the Co-creator of youtube talking about the zoo he visited during the video.
Enjoy this time capsule
Saw this a few years back, wow a decade...
Man I can hardly remember the time before youtube. I used to go on those shitty flash video websites with "END of Ze World" videos and Numa Numa back when viral videos were hip and new, lol. Ebaumsworld and others come to mind.
What I loved about this video is that it's not professional at all
It's a simple home video or whatever
It might not have been intentional, but it means that litterally anyone can put anything, big or small onto the platform for the world to see
I used to think his named was pronounced jawed, as in "jaw". A while back I found out that's actually his name, so I'm guessing it's pronounced ja-wed or juh-wed.

"did u download realplayer and Divx video? its the only way to play this!"
Damn, time has flown with YouTube's UI becoming completely different compared to its original interface.
Its sorta timeless when old videos say "Click that subscribe button off to the right!"
I guess he removed it, but I found a picture. You know you fucked up when one of the original creators of Youtube hates it.

I thought YouTube was started in February 2005, not April 2005.

Oh god, its all coming back argh.
Speaking of Realplayer, I remember one of the first video series I saw on the web was PC Gamer's [b]CORPORAL DAN[/b] back in 1998. Then the following year [i]Corporal Dan Revelations[/i] came out at an earth-shattering 9 minute long movie. Somewhere I also have an old RE2 tofu speedrun in realplayer format from 1999 too.

That went around everywhere for a while when the huge G+ thing happened.
Quite the headline.

Google+ was the biggest mistake for Youtube.
Still haven't made a google+ account, don't need to comment anyway.
There was this UI that I really liked that was a temporary youtube lab test thing named "Cosmic Panda", no, it was nowhere near the cosmic panda we all got, it was sort of nice.

of course it isn't suited for the current times, but was ok when it came out.
Only 10 years ago, for some reason it seems like it should be older...
