YouTube to shut down tomorrow for good with all content being deleted
Google has announced today that video sharing behemoth YouTube will be shutting down tomorrow, for good, with all content being deleted.

Apparently, YouTube was really just an eight year long contest, and the best video of all-time will now be voted on by an expert panel of judges that includes famous viral video celebrities like Antoine Dodson and Charlie of "Charlie Bit My Finger."



YouTube says the voting will take about a decade to complete, and the billions of videos submitted have been narrowed down to just 150,000.

The winner will get $500 as a creative stipend for their next video, and an MP3 player.

    Wow this is probably the dumbest April's fool joke I have ever seen. It's most likely aimed at the idiots that believe those Facebook chain letters as well........

    YouTube has a mind of it's own, there's no shutting it down....fail

    I believed the headline for about a second, until I remembered it was April 1st. So, technically, I was fooled. lol
