What Founder Nitesh Goel says,
“We wanted to solve the problem of ‘I want to put something on the internet, but how do I do that’.
There are 25 answers to that question — images go on Flickr, videos go on YouTube.
We wanted to make the experience of posting things to the internet as fast and easy as possible.
We hear a lot of positive feedback from customers who aren’t familiar with computers, but the other core part of our demographic are people who are ultra-comfortable with computers, like bloggers.They
want to build a place where they can interact and create something collaboratively online."[4]
