CQ#4: Who started YouTube?


Quick Answer:

Chad Hurley, Steve Chen and Jawed Karim.

Chad Hurley grew up in Pennsylvania, excelled in track, and got a bachelor's degree in fine arts. Steve Shih Chen (not to be confused with a Dr. Steve Chen, who is a supercomputer designer) was born in Taiwan and came to the U.S. with his family as a youngster. He went to high school and college in Illinois and studied computer science. The two met when they both went to work at PayPal. Along with Jawed Karim, another PayPal employee, they created YouTube, a user-friendly site that allowed people to put videos on the site in minutes.
