2006 – In February 2005, 3 former Paypal employees start a website that lets you upload and share your video. YouTube brought a new idea of putting your creations on the internet. However, it cost a lot of money to run. Therefore, Google stepped in. They purchased the site from the founders for $1.65 billion. Today marks the completion of this acquisition.
