YouTube Founders Interviewed

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the popular-videos-not-on-tv dept.

An anonymous reader writes: "FORTUNE's Adam Lashinsky interviews co-founders Steve Chen and Chad Hurley. 'In just five months, YouTube has gone from beta testing to part of the national zeitgeist. The website is a place where anyone with a home video can post it online and create an endlessly entertaining diversion for bored office workers -- who've been watching 40 million clips a day.'"

  1. What is the cost? by bogaboga · · Score: 5, Insightful
    I wonder how those guys pay for the bandwidth. How are they handling this? When I visited their site, I saw no advertising - none!

    My request though, is to have full video controls on thier player. The same applies to Google Video by the way. Many a times, the videos simply need some light.

    But many thanks to thier effort.
