Talk:Chad Hurley

Untitled

When did his birth year change? I found articles from 2007 that say the youtube founder "wasn't yet 30", meaning he was born in 1977, right?

The edits made to this article last week seem to be slightly offtopic; they talk more about Youtube instead of Chad Hurley (such as the part about how YouTube deals with copyright infringement). I propose that the non-Chad Hurley specific information be removed. Kluge 23:34, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

Reference No. 3 is broken

through archive.com you can get a version of the page, but it does not have much contents. --Tillmo (talk) 14:52, 9 August 2009 (UTC)

in category, his birth date is 1977, but in the beggining of the text, there is written 1976... which is correct? --85.117.37.231 (talk) 11:32, 15 November 2009 (UTC)

Comapny shares

Any reason to why Hurley got loads more shares than Chen ($30 million's worth) when Chen was the primary coder, the guy who actually made the thing? Indeed, why is Hurley CEO and Chen only CTO in the first place, who decided that? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.111.120.73 (talk) 05:23, 4 March 2010 (UTC)

Salary 4.5 million??? Ha Ha Ha!!!! He's just another capitalist exploiter and investor in speculative fictitious investments with the 1.5 billion he received. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.239.250.100 (talk) 19:29, 10 October 2013 (UTC)

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just added archive links to one external link on Chad Hurley. Please take a moment to review my edit. You may add {{cbignore}} after the link to keep me from modifying it, if I keep adding bad data, but formatting bugs should be reported instead. Alternatively, you can add {{nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether, but should be used as a last resort. I made the following changes:

• Attempted to fix sourcing for http://www.web2con.com/cs/web2006/view/e_spkr/2843

When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true or failed to let others know (documentation at {{Sourcecheck}}).

Assessment comment

The comment(s) below were originally left at Talk:Chad Hurley/Comments, and are posted here for posterity. Following several discussions in past years, these subpages are now deprecated. The comments may be irrelevant or outdated; if so, please feel free to remove this section.

These passages are plagiarized: from the cited businessweek article They were among the first 20 hires at online payment service PayPal joining during the second half of 1999. They got to know each other well during the lean years, becoming part of a tight-knit "PayPal mafia" that remains close today. Their venture money came in part through their connection to Roelof Botha, the South African former PayPal CFO. It was January 2005, and they couldn't figure out a good solution. Sending the clips around by e-mail was a bust: The e-mails kept getting rejected because they were so big. Posting the videos online was a headache, too. Members, who can comment on videos and set up their own sites on YouTube, add tens of thousands (or more) new videos a day. But skeptics wonder if the startup can balance its surging popularity with the looming legal risks.
