2011 was an eventful year for YouTube and I’m sure 2012 will also be amazing for the 2nd largest search engine and 3rd most visited website on the internet.

YouTube recently announced that its platform is serving over 200 million views from smart phones and internet-capable mobile devices daily. As I wrote about last year, there’s only one direction for mobile video viewing to go from here…. and that’s up!

YouTube has recently launched the YouTube Copyright School, a kind of detention class where violators of YouTube’s copyright rules are sent.
