YouTube was invented by three former PayPal employees in February 2005. The three co-founders are Chad Hurley, Steve Chen and Jawed Karim. Chen and Karim had actually attended the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign together, both studying computer science. It took the three inventors six months to build the site. According to the official story about the beginning of YouTube, Chen and Hurley came up with the idea in the spring of 2005 after they couldn’t figure out a good way to share videos of a dinner party held by Chen. When questioned about this story, Karim said that he never attended such a dinner party, and he doubts that it every really took place. Later, while not coming right out and saying so, hinted that the dinner party story may have emerged just for the sake of having a story in which others could relate.
