On Sunday May 16, 2005 the beta version of YouTube.com was launched.  To celebrate its five year exsistance, YouTube put together a “FiveYear” channel “which features people from all over describing how YouTube has changed or shaped their lives.”  Check it out!  Also, be sure to watch the video above that timelines the birth and quick rise of YouTube.  The most interesting and outstanding fun fact?  YouTube now receives two billion views per day.
