Some days (when I have time), I'll get a pretty great ab workout from all the laughs I find on YouTube. Some of my friends think it's the best invention since Cheetos — and it looks like they're about to get even better. Not only is YouTube calling itself the "world's largest video discovery platform", but it's also dipping its toes into the pool of live webcasting; starting with their inaugural YouTube Live event taking place here in San Francisco on November 22.

The masters of satire over at The Onion have this faux news story about a YouTube challenge to its users: Make a video worth watching. The requirement? That it be somewhat watchable, provide a shred of enjoyment for someone other than the people who made the video, that the person who shoots the video have a reason for doing so other than, "I own a camera," and that the person shoots it while sober.

The Internet can provide a wealth of knowledge these days, but sometimes I find that the news can get a little jumbled. Like searching YouTube for videos relating to the presidential election — although you can sort by when videos were uploaded (today, this week, or this month) things are still out of order and shown by how many views, not by latest video uploaded. I want up-to-the-minute results!

Remember when the documentary about the two friends who decide to travel from Seattle to Boston at 10 MPH by using a segway? Well fast forward a year and a half later, and the movie 10 mph is not only complete, but it's available for your viewing pleasure, for free, on YouTube. Not only is it entertaining to watch a guy with a stand-up scooter go across the country, but the best part is watching the craziness that ensues along the way.

Bow to your Queen Geek, ladies and gents! Queen Elizabeth II (she of her very own YouTube channel) paid a visit to a modern place of worship: Google. No, she's not in California, but rather Google's London HQ.

This has got to be the best news I've heard all week! YouTube is now streaming 15 50-minute episodes of geeky classic TV shows like Star Trek, MacGyver and, wait for it — Beverly Hills 90210! Once you click on a show, you can decide whether you want to watch it in Theater View with the surrounding LED light on or off.

Why didn't I just put the Wario Wii video right in this post? Because there's a special experience for you when you go to YouTube and watch the video from there. Warning: If you have an earthquake fear, don't sit too close to the screen.

YouTube Video Booth Lets Voters "Geek Out" CitzenSugar and LibertySugar spotted a YouTube video station in the Pepsi Center that Google set up for voters to make their own video about why they are nominating Barack Obama. The vids have already started pouring in and are definitely entertaining. I love how these interactive video booths are popping up everywhere!

Our very own CitzenSugar and LibertySugar are fresh on the scene at the 2008 Democratic National Convention in Denver, CO, and what did their eyes spot for this fellow Sugar? A YouTube video station in the Pepsi Center that Google had set up for voters to make their own video about why they are nominating Barack Obama. The vids have already started pouring in and are definitely entertaining.
