TED Blog

      One of the websites I found on the TED blog was http://youtube-trends.blogspot.com/ . The blog compiles rising Youtube videos onto one site as well as shows what are some trending searches. Also, one can find graphs that show search/view trends of a certain topic or video. The graphs can be filtered by region, month, day of the week, and many other categories.

     I believe the site is useful for anyone who wants to kill or waste time on Youtube by finding new videos or perhaps for someone who wants to keep up with the most popular videos. It's also good for finding new Youtube channels to subscribe to, whether it be a music channel or a prank channel, this blog will list the top channels and videos of any category or search queries. Some examples of search queries could be Harlem Shake, Gangnam Style, or Kevin Ware's leg injury. This blog is good for whenever I'm bored or want to procrastinate doing work because I could spend a good chunk of time just watching videos found off this blog.

The graph below, found on the blog, shows when the peak interest of searches for the Harlem Shake occurred.
