0 WHAT WAS THE FIRST YOUTUBE VIDEO?

The first YouTube video was entitled:
Me at the zoo

It shows founder Karim at the San Diego Zoo.  

It was uploaded at 8:27 pm on Saturday, April 23, 2005 by Jawed Karim, one of the co-founders of the site, under the username "jawed".  Described by The Observer as "poor-quality", the video was shot by Yakov Lapitsky at the San Diego Zoo; it features Karim in front of the elephants, explaining how interesting their "really, really, really long trunks" are, and is 19 seconds long.

The Los Angeles Times states: "as the first video uploaded to YouTube, it played a pivotal role in fundamentally altering how people consumed media and helped usher in a golden era of the 60-second video." As of July 2011, the video had received over 5.3 million views.
