YouTube Co-Founder is Former Facebook Employee

This piece of geekified sewing circle gossip caught my eye: Steve (YouTube Co-Founder) left the Facebook to start YouTube with Chad.

A choice quote from a former Facebook employee:

Since only 16 months later YouTube is selling to Google for $1.65B, I laugh at myself at how insistent we were that he personally come return his corporate laptop!

    Actually at that time he started YouTube with Chad and Jawed, the third co-founder:
