Default YouTube creator was from my shitty college

IUP. I always call it a shitty PA state school. I grew up in the crappy little town, so I don't think much of the place..... Jimmy Stewart is from Indiana PA and that is about all the Fame it has.

Apparently Chad Hurley donated $1M to the school. Wonder how much stock he got out of the $1.65 Billion (which just yesterday went up 7% more).

Crazy ass $. Bet he could afford to buy his own tires.

Chad Hurley is the co-founder and Chief Executive Officer of the popular video sharing website YouTube. In June 2006, he was voted 28th on Business 2.0's "50 people who matter" list.[1]

According to an October 10, 2006 Wall Street Journal article, he worked in eBay's PayPal division before starting YouTube.[2]In October of 2006 he and his partner, Steve Chen, sold YouTube for $1.65 billion to Google.

Chad Hurley grew up near Birdsboro, PA, with an older sister (Heather) and a younger brother (Brent). He graduated from Twin Valley High School, Elverson, PA in 1995 and received his B.A. in Fine Art from Indiana University of Pennsylvania.
