The domain name "YouTube.com" was activated on February 14, 2005 with video upload options being integrated on April 23, 2005 '''after being named "Tune In, Hook Up" the original idea of Chad Hurlely, Steve Chen, and Jawed Karim. The concept was a online dating service that ultimately failed but had an exceptional video and uploading platform. After the infamous Janet Jackson/ Justin Timberlake Super Bowl halftime show the three creators realized they couldn't find any videos of it on the internet, after noticing that this type of platform did not exist they made the changes to become the first video sharing platform. The first YouTube video, titled Me at the zoo, was uploaded on April 23, 2005, and shows co-founder Jawed Karim at the San Diego Zoo and currently has over 85 million views and 2.7 million likes.'''

'''After opening on a beta service in May of 2005 YouTube.com was trafficking around 30,000 viewers a day in just months of time. After launching six months later they would be drawing well over two million viewers a day. By March of 2006 the site had more than 25 million videos uploaded and was generating around 20,000 uploads a day. During the summer of 2006, YouTube was one of the fastest growing sites on the World Wide Web, t'''he site delivered an average of 100 million video views per day in July. '''However, this did not come without any problems, the rapid growth in users meant YouTube had to keep up with it technologically speaking, they needed new equipment to match the insane numbers they were bringing in and they needed more broadband connection to the internet. The increasing copyright infringement problems and lack in commercializing YouTube eventually led to outsourcing to Google who recently had just failed in their own video platform.'''
