We all know what YouTube is and we have all watched a video clip of some sort on it. It’s undoubtedly one of the most popular sites on the net, and has a strong following that grows daily in all of the demographic sectors in every country in the world.

There is a lot happening over at YouTube, innovation is alive and kicking as they keep launching better additions to their service.

A while back, You Tube launched search suggestions internationally. It’s easy to activate and deactivate and comes in really handy when you not 100% certain of what it is that you’re looking for.

Another addition that they recently added was the contact importer facility, whereby you can import your Google contacts. You can even “friend” your YouTube contacts so that you can stay up to date on all the videos that they’refavouring, rating, and uploading. They have also separated the comments in your inbox into two categories, comments from others about your videos and responses from comments that you’ve made on other people’s videos.

The best addition is theupdated video statistics that are now available, so you can accurately track the demographic of people that are watching and uploading your videos. This is a great tool to measure your popularity against other members.

It also displays statistics based on the combined total views of all the videos you’ve uploaded. This feature enables you to explore the view counts and popularity of individual videos, as well as see your account’s total number of views. It’s a great way to observe your relative popularity compared to other users, based on geographic location.

As YouTube continues to grow in popularity, and as it starts to reach a wider audience, it needs to keep on improving its service to stay on top of its game. There are several other video streaming services out there that are just as good and if it doesn’t keep up with the times it could fall behind.
