A small sampling of the thousands of YouTube videos that can make your makeup look professional.

Modern technology makes information and communication more accessible, but some find the cost to be too high.

If you’ve viewed any YouTube videos at all today, you may have noticed a large banner across the top announcing the YouTube Symphony project. The banner, placed in the same high-profile yet highly-ignorable area that usually houses the “Stay cool, we are performing site maintenance, everything will be 100% in a bit” message, represents a [...]

Have you ever wondered what is in the perfect refrigerator? Have you ever wondered how to add 26-inch rims and three televisions to your Chevy Caprice? Have you ever wondered what it’s like to order everything on the McDonald’s Dollar Menu at once? The answer to all of these mysteries lies in the YouTube channel [...]

Some of YouTube’s greatest videos are being shot in dorm next door.

As you may suspect, the YouTube channels continue to be flooded with nothing but election videos. Why opt for CSPAN when you can see endorsements by special interest groups and online comedians the world round? Here are a few favorites:

Everyone wants to be famous. If Sanjaya could do it, anybody should be able to and, thanks to the advent of YouTube, it is now a distinct possibility to be slightly-popular on the Internet for about two weeks before people start Rickrolling you. Well, here’s a parody video sorta explaining how to do [...]

I’ve been spelunking the channel for the past 24 hours, and have my initial reports all ready to go.

Two categories of people who emerge on V-Day: either single-folks who bitterly put down the day, labeling it a commercial-driven monstrosity of a day meant to sell stuffed bears and chocolates, or couples who, while not overplaying Feb. 14, go out of their way to celebrate the day in some romantic way. Regardless of [...]

The Internet offers up plenty of horrible, horrible pieces of media, but thanks to the Internet we also get a chance to view great stuff whenever we want. Martin Luther King Jr.’s “I Have a Dream” speech is available in its entirety on YouTube and, to celebrate the great work of one of the [...]
