 Run and tell this!
       In 2010, YouTube users uploaded over 35 hours of video each minute, amounting to over 13 million hours of video for the entire year, according to year-end figures released by YouTube. By mid-November, the site's playback count hit 700 billion and continued rising.

     So which videos did users watch most? YouTube Rewind 2010 has ranked those videos with the highest play count. When many versions of a single video existed, YouTube aggregated the number of plays across the different versions.

However, a few of the most popular videos are directly inspired by musical sensations like Lady Gaga, Ke$ha and, of course, Justin Bieber. The rest of the list includes obnoxiously talkative produce, extreme automobile handling, vampire-on-human love, Rube Goldberg-inspired theatrics, a life-changing home intrusion, the Old Spice guy, and a full-on double rainbow--right across the sky!

The Most Popular YouTube Cooking Videos Of 2010

       Today, YouTube announced the most popular cooking videos on the site from 2010, and below are all 20 of them, including a tutorial on how to create a potato ball inside a potato box, a technique for homemade pizza dough, and how to make kimchi. In just the last two years, YouTube searches for recipes have quadrupled, and YouTube has seen an explosion of both amateur and professional cooks uploading their videos to the site.

    As Scarlett Lindeman explained over at the Atlantic last week:

[E]ven the most well-stocked library cannot undermine the speed and expanse of the Internet. Cooks curious about a particular technique can click through YouTube archives as if turning the pages of a well-thumbed French Laundry cookbook. I know many who do and then pass them around via e-mail and Facebook. Cutline Communications, a consumer technology PR company, has noted that "more Americans are turning to YouTube to learn how to prepare all kinds of foods."

Check out 2010's most popular YouTube cooking videos, by number of views, below.

'Filmography' Of 2010: Incredible YouTube Video Chronicling The Year In Film

 "The world is about two things: power and control."

   This is the mantra that catches our utmost attention in Youtube user Genrocks' compilation trailer using clips from 270 films released in 2010.

    The editing skills are spot on, combining lines from movies like Get Him to the Greek, with lines from Inceptionand Harry Potter, and the music choice is perfect. A Youtube masterpiece, this video will keep you hooked for 6 whole minutes (oft considered a long time in Youtube terms). Of the video, Genrocks wrote:

This year's movies have legitimately transformed my idea of what is creatively possible. To commemorate, I've remixed 270 of them into one giant ass video.

So here we go...

YouTube Gives Users Ability To Flag Content That Promotes Terrorism

       In response to concerns it's become a means of radical promotion, YouTube has now added an option for flagging content that is terrorist in nature.
       When you flag a video as inappropriate, "promotes terrorism" now appears as an option under the "violent or repulsive content" category on the Google-owned website (see screenshot below).

Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-Conn.) called the new terrorism flag a "good first step toward scrubbing mainstream Internet sites of terrorist propaganda."

      Lieberman first voiced concerns about radical Islamic videos on YouTube in May 2008, according to a YouTube blog post.
The site opted to make no changes at the time but encouraged users to use the flagging feature. Now "promotes terrorism" is a flag option.

     But not all are fans of the change, according to the Los Angeles Times.
George Washington University law professor Jeffrey Rosen says it is "potentially troubling" and that the phrase "promotes terrorism" can be subject to interpretation.

Some have criticized the move of giving YouTube's massive audience this ability:

For starters, by putting the "crowd" in charge of this, YouTube is effectively throwing its hands up and saying it's no longer the site's job to determine what content belongs and what doesn't. And, as we all know, the main thing we learn when we trust the "wisdom of the crowd" is that the crowd doesn't have much wisdom.
