YouTube – Where it is and What it is

For most of us, YouTube is a place where we go to watch online video.  It’s an online address where people gather to upload videos, watch videos and be part of a community.  YouTube is all of that, but there is also a physical place to it.  It’s weird to think that an online destination exists in physical form.

Hank Green of the Vlogbrothers visited YouTube recently and narrates to the Internet about his thoughts on YouTube HQ.

“It’s a place in the real world and it’s a place where people work…It’s not magical and it’s not evil either.  It’s just people; mostly very cool and talented people, but just people.  And they work in a place.  And John [Green] it’s weird to put a street address to YouTube.com, which is so very obviously to the rest of us, a web address.  Because 901 Cherry isn’t where YouTube is.  YouTube is right here in front of all us right now.  What 901 Cherry is a place where people work really hard making this place, this weird non-physical place, possible.”
