Video sharing website, YouTube, is celebrating its 5th anniversary; Google acquired the site in 2006 in a deal worth $1.65 billion. The site is now boasting an impressive two billion views per day. Five years ago Chad Hurley, the site’s co-founder and chief executive, said he had pinned his hopes for YouTube on the basic premise that “everyone in the back of their mind wants to be a star”.

For the five year anniversary, YouTube have launched their, “YouTube Five Year” channel, it features the “My YouTube Story” project, which is a series of videos about individual experiences on how YouTube has had an impact on their lives. Comedian and TV host Conan O’Brien and American journalist Katie Couric are among those selected to curate the project.

My personal top five videos are:
1) Charlie bit my finger – again!
2) The sneezing baby panda
3) Battle at Kruger
4) Evolution of Dance
5) Diet Coke + Mentos
