Quoting
We try really hard to make YouTube as open as possible. Anyone can upload and view videos, which can be embedded anywhere and viewed on all kinds of different devices. And, of course, anyone can participate in our community by commenting on videos, rating them, and sharing them with friends.
To add onto that, TiVO also announced that they have set up a deal with YouTube that will allow people to play YouTube videos directly on their TV’s. Hey, no more getting off the couch!

YouTube banned in Turkey Again!
Turkey once again, banned YouTube because of too much negative/bad words usage against their country’s founding father “Mustafa Kemal Ataturk”.
Anyone from Turkey, trying to access youtube gets a message in English and Turkish that it has been banned under a 17 January Ankara court order. This has happened in the past when Mustafa Kemal was insulted earlier.
