Chad Hurley registers the
trademark, logo, and domain of YouTube on Valentine's Day 2005
Before Feb. 14, 2005, very few people had ever even heard the name "YouTube." It was founded by former PayPal employees Chad Hurley, Steve Chen, and Jawed Karim. The idea was born at a dinner party in San Francisco about a year before the official launch.
Karim's idea for what became YouTube came from two key events in 2004: Janet Jackson's wardrobe malfunction at the Super Bowl, and the devastating tsunami in the Indian Ocean.
