Today YouTube celebrated its ten year anniversary. The first video was uploaded and featured YouTube co-founder Jawed Karim, an unassuming 18 second video clip titled "Me at the Zoo".

Ten years on YouTube receives more than 1billion unique visits every month - that’s more than Yahoo, Bing and Ask combined. It is the second largest search engine after Google, and users upload more than 300 hours of video every minute.
