Web Inventions and Sites

The 21st century is most definitely (among other things) the century that changed the way we use the web. Youtube, Google maps street view, social networking and Facebook are just some of the websites and technologies that are today an inseparable part of our lives, and didn’t exist 14 years ago.
YouTube was invented in 2005 by 3 partners Jawed Karim, Chad Hurley and Steve Chen, and revolutionized the way we consume and share videos.  Google maps street view which in 2007 launched with 360 panoramic images of NYC, Chicago, San Francisco and many other cities and changed the way we navigate or look for addresses.
Social networking,  which is these days is an inseparable part of our daily lives and Facebook, its epitome, started in 2004 by Mark Zuckerberg in his dorm room at Harvard.
Along with many other websites and brands they were all invented in the 21st century.
