Considering the fact that its first video was uploaded on April 23, 2005, the video streaming giant, YouTube, is turning ten this year. Nevertheless, YouTube did not open its doors for beta testers till May 2005, which means the celebrations will be held this month.

According to Tech Radar, YouTube plans to post a greatest hit package on its site over the next 26 days with a view to celebrate its accomplishment of a decade of video streaming. The plan is to highlight "some of the most memorable moments, from the silly to the profound," which have helped describe the history of this popular website.

Hence, viewers are advised to monitor the YouTube Trends Blog closely where the company will be publishing these memorable clips from Sunday onward. Every day a different letter of the alphabet will serve as a guide.

The official anniversary blog post of YouTube reads, "10 years in, you continue to redefine how the world experiences music, entertainment, and news." It goes on to add, "How the world laughs and how the world learns. How we shape political events and how we connect over the things we love."

While still nothing is known regarding the precise video clips YouTube will be selecting to publish on its site as a part of the celebrations, but fans expect that their favorite videos will be included.

Since the first video was posted on the site 10 years ago, YouTube has come a long way. The official statistics offered by the company states that roughly 300 hours of content are uploaded to the site every minute. It is interesting to note that currently there are about a billion users signed up for accounts on YouTube.
