Xs inspiration stories:Hurley and Chen developed the idea for X during the early months of 2005, after they had experienced difficulty sharing videos that had been shot at a dinner party at Chen's apartment in San Francisco. Karim did not attend the party and denied that it had occurred.

Karim said that the inspiration for X came fromJanet Jackson's role in the 2004Super Bowl incident, when her breast was accidentally exposed during her performance. Karim could not easily find a video clip of the incident online, which led to the idea of a video sharing site.

Hurley and Chen said that the original idea for X was a video version of anonline dating service, and had been influenced by the websiteHot or Not.
