Within two hours they came up with an idea would solve the problem and change internet history . They decided to create a video sharing platform and YouTube was born . It's a familiar story for anyone follows the development of the internet : technology - minded entrepreneurs under thirty , a garage or bedroom , dreams become reality , little money and a big communicative need . The site was an instant success . The key was a number of features : links to the videos , made them easy to email ; tell - a - friend functions ; a feature allowed YouTube videos to be played on other social networking sites ; and another feature let users comment on the videos . This helped to develop the site's sense of community : YouTube was a place you posted videos but also chatted about them , complained , smiled or laughed out loud ( LOL ) . Two years after the launch , Google Inc . , bought YouTube for $ 1 . 65 billion .
