YouTube hits the big time in a short time

YouTube is the classic Silicon Valley story. Yes, classic story from a place barely 30 years old. Isn't that what the technology revolution is all about? Being barely 30?

YouTube is a young San Mateo company founded by two young guys. Yes, they started it in a garage. And yes, it became internationally known and used by millions in the blink of an eye.

Nobody had heard of YouTube before last fall. By this week, the company was reporting that 80 million videos a day were being viewed on the site.

About half a billion video views a week.
