About this event
In 2005, three young PayPal alums created a website that changed everything. When Chad Hurley, Steve Chen, and Jawed Karim uploaded the first video to YouTube, they had no idea their creation would become one of the most important companies in the world. Every single day, people across the globe watch over 1 billion hours of video on the site. It transformed media, culture, and politics. But what do we really know about YouTube and how it operates? Compared to other tech juggernauts, surprisingly little.
LIKE, COMMENT, SUBSCRIBE: Inside YouTube’s Chaotic Rise to World Domination is the first book to explain exactly how YouTube’s technology and business evolved, how it works, and how it helped Google grow to unparalleled heights of power. Mark Bergen, a Bloomberg reporter, takes you from YouTube’s humble beginnings as a scrappy startup, to its billion-dollar acquisition by Google, through the company’s ongoing struggle to tame a creation that spun out of control.
The conversation will be moderated by Casey Newton who is the founder and editor of Platformer.
