And the rest is history.

Watch YouTube's first ever video - uploaded 10 years ago today

On this day 10 years ago, the very first video was uploaded to a new little site named YouTube.

The 19-second-long video taken by Jawed Karim rather anti-climatically shows him at San Diego Zoo's elephant enclosure.

And that's about it.

Karim along with Chad Hurley and Steve Chen founded the company in 2005 after working at PayPal.

Karim is credited with creating PayPal's real-time anti-fraud system and became a millionaire after eBay purchasedthe company in 2002. In 2006, he received $64 million when Google acquired YouTube.

Nice for some.
