With co-founders Chad Hurley and Steve Chen, Jawed Karim founded YouTube. That, and making a few million here and there, are the only interesting things about him.
Not that there's anything wrong with that — boring guys built this industry. Just that the profile of Karim is the second-most painfully dull New York Times article I've ever read (after the Weddings section). An excerpt:
On Wednesday, during a walk across campus and a visit to his dorm room and the computer sciences building where he takes classes, Mr. Karim described himself as a nerd who gets excited about learning. Nothing in his understated demeanor suggests he is anything other than an ordinary graduate student, and he attracted little attention on campus in jeans, a blue polo shirt, a tan jacket and black Puma sneakers.
Last time a newspaper described someone this dull, the next paragraph read "No one suspected he'd murder an entire family."
