iStock_000001114902XSmallToday marks the 5th Anniversary of the first video ever uploaded to YouTube. The video features YouTube Co-founder Jawed Karim at the San Diego Zoo (uploaded on April 23, 2005).  By October 2006, Google had purchased YouTube for around 1.65 billion.  Not bad.  Not bad at all.
