YouTube had an extra-special Valentine's Day this year.
Chad Hurley, YouTube co-founder and current CEO, announced that on Sunday, the site officially turned 5 years old.
"When we registered the YouTube domain on February 14, 2005, we set out to create a place where anyone with a video camera and an Internet connection could share a story with the world," Hurley wrote on the company's blog. "Five years into it, we're as committed as ever to the core beliefs and principles that guided YouTube's creation."
Those core principles, Hurley said, revolve around allowing users to have a voice through video, working with Hollywood and other partners to help content succeed online, and setting "the standard" in online video.
