From the archives: The early days of YouTube
Within a year of its public launch in 2005, the video streaming site YouTube was sold to Google for $1.65 billion. But as funny videos were going viral, the business of YouTube – for creators and users – was changing irrevocably. In this “Sunday Morning” report that aired on April 26, 2009, correspondent Rita Braver visited the site’s headquarters in San Bruno, Calif., to talk with co-founder Chad Hurley and executives Olivia Ma and Jordan Hoffner about the site’s evolution. She also talked with anthropologist Mike Wesch about YouTube’s cultural impact; and with musicians auditioning (online, of course) for the YouTube Symphony Orchestra.
