YouTube is a free video sharing service. It allows users to watch and upload videos that can then be shared with people around the world. YouTube is the second most popular website in the world, behind its owner, Google. YouTube was created by three former PayPal employees in February 2005. In November 2006, Google bought the site for US$1.65 billion. The majority of video content uploaded on the site is from individuals that use the site. Some media corporations choose to upload some of their own content, such as movie trailers, or show snippets. YouTube is able to keep the service free through advertising on the site. Such advertising can be display ads, overlay on videos, or video ads that play before or during videos. Through this service, YouTube also offers a share of their advertising revenue to content creators. Content creators range from individuals to media corporations. Some of the most popular YouTube content creators make their living this way. To compete more closely with Twitch.tv, a popular game streaming website, YouTube launched YouTube Gaming in August 2015. YouTube worked with popular content creators on the site that produced "Let's Play" content. This content allowed users to watch the person behind the channel play particular video games. YouTube Gaming is a sub-site of YouTube, and remains free to use. A new service called YouTube Red was introduced in October 2015. This subscription-based service allowed users to watch videos on the site ad free. Other features included within the service include offline video, and exclusive original content. YouTube Red is said to have 1.5 million subscribers as of November 2016. The subscription service is currently rolling out worldwide. In March 2017, YouTube continued to roll out their subscription services with YouTube TV. YouTube TV is a TV subscription service, like a cable TV provider. The introductory offer includes over 40 channels and networks in the US. It is expected that YouTube TV will expand to other countries and offer more networks.

Skype is an all-in-one communication app for internet telephony. It’s a feature-packed app that allows users to make voice and video calls, send text and voice messages, share images and documents, and conduct video conference calls. The Skype app started in August of 2003 when the team headed by the Swedish nationals Niklas Zennstrom and Dane Janus Friis released the first desktop version of the program. The user base of the application rose exponentially in the first two years of its release. And by September of 2005, the e-commerce giant eBay decided to purchase Skype at $2.6 billion making it one of the most successful apps ever developed. In September 2009, a Canadian investment corporation agreed to acquire 65% of Skype from eBay. This placed Skype’s enterprise market value to $2.92 billion. Microsoft then took Skype from eBay in a deal worth $8.5 billion made on May of 2011. Since then, Skype has been a flagship product of the Microsoft Corporation. The Skype mobile app is free to download although in-app purchases are available to get Skype credits. The credits could be used to avail premium features like Skype to landline calls, having local landline number attached to Skype, and unlimited call services for some countries. Skype to Skype messaging and calls are free for all users. The video conferencing feature, which is one of the reasons for Skype’s popularity, is also free for everyone. As of 2015, Skype has an average of more than 300 million active users per month. The app has also reached the 1 billion landmark in downloads.
