Launched in 2005, YouTube is a video-sharing website where users upload and watch videos and leave comments. In order to upload videos, users must register for a free account. By searching the website in a few different ways (depending on how much information you have about the person or video you want to view), you can find a specific user's videos--the process is quick and easy.
