When
Did
It
All
Begin?
Here
are
the
facts
about
YouTube.com
as
a
business
and
rapidly
growing
enterprise.
Started
in
February
of
2005,
the
site
gained
massive
media
attention
and
popularity,
in
part
because
it
was
something
fresh
and
new.
It
also
brought
with
it
some
controversy,
as
many
of
the
more
popular
and
successful
websites
do.
Time
Magazine
suggested
it
was
the
most
popular
invention
during
2006.
Of
course,
it
is
not
to
say
YouTube
is
not
without
its
share
of
controversy.
Quite
the
opposite
is
true.

and
downs
YouTube
has
experienced

the
next
section.
