YouTube’s 10th birthday, relive key moments in internet history. Back in 2005, most of the most popular sites and services today were getting started. Facebook was only a year old, Myspace and Friendster were fending off new competitors after launching in 2005 and Bebo would launch in July 2005 – all of which would eventually fade into obscurity or die out entirely.

February 14, 2015, marks the ten-year anniversary of YouTube.com the most-visited video sharing website world wide. YouTube was founded by three of PayPal’s earliest employees, Chad Hurley, Steve Chen and Jawed Karim were the masterminds behind the site and spent months building it before the first public preview in May 2005. The site made its official debut later that year.
