How youtube is given its name ?

YouTube (owned by Google) has come a long way since the idea for the popular video-sharing site was first sparked at a San Francisco dinner party in 2005.

The concept was comically inspired by the viral Super Bowl “Janet Jackson wardrobe malfunction” when the three founders, Chad HurleySteve Chen, and Jawed Karim(all early employees of PayPal at the time) discussed the difficulty of finding, watching, and sharing video clips of the mishap online. “Video, we felt, really wasn’t being addressed on the Internet” said Hurley in an early interview, “People were collecting video clips on their cell phones…but there was no easy way to share.”
YouTube began humbly as a technology startup, situated just above a pizzeria and Japanese restaurant in San Mateo, California. Its start was mostly thanks to an $11.5 million investment by Sequoia Capital, one of Silicon Valley’s most profitable capital investment firms. 
As expected, the site grew rapidly within its first year. Just a few months after YouTube began its public beta testing, the site was receiving more than 100 million views and 65,000 new videos each day. Today? Today 100 hours of video are uploaded to YouTube every single minute!
So where did this beloved website get its name? Let’s find out why YouTube is called YouTube and how YouTube has given “viral” a whole new meaning.
Why is it called YouTube?
The name “YouTube” is actually pretty straightforward. The “You” represents that the content is user generated, created by individual users and not the site itself and “Tube” is a nod toward an older original term for television. Back when TVs were new, pre-LCD display monitors used cathode ray “tubes” to deliver images. Early on in YouTube’s history, however, this caused a few problems. In 2006, another company named Universal Tube & Rollform Equipment, whose website was similarly named www.utube.com, filed a lawsuit against YouTube. The outcome? The company has since changed its name to www.utubeonline.com. Since this early hiccup, the name YouTube has grown proud and strong; the site is now localized in 75 countries and available in 61 languages and hundreds of hours of video are uploaded each minute!
