The site, in 2007
A comedy video site where visitors voted each clip 'Funny' or 'Die', with sketches by staff writers and well-known actors.
Will Ferrell, Adam McKay, Mark Kvamme and Chris Henchy launched it on 12 April 2007 with 'The Landlord', in which Ferrell faces a two-year-old landlord; it passed 84 million views. Its Between Two Ferns later interviewed President Obama.
In 2007: Launched on 12 April with 'The Landlord'; Sequoia Capital invested in June.
Web 2.0 era, 2003 to 2008. Rounded corners, reflections and drop shadows. Everything was social, and everything was in beta.
The Long Tail: The niche, the local and the specialist. Most of the web, really.
