In this video, Senator Cornyn addresses your top two ideas:
There are many other excellent ideas that deserve your attention and discussion, so we hope that you'll

Well, you've done it. After two Calls for Submission in our Help Center, and hundreds of video entries, you've proven that you want to use your video-making skills to help each other use YouTube. We liked your videos so much that we've decided to make them a standing feature in the Help Center.
Starting today, you can submit videos to accompany all of our Help Center entries. And there is no deadline, so you can keep sending us videos over time. To submit your video, just go into our
Help Center
and pick from the hundreds of entries. On the right hand side, you'll see a gadget where you can submit videos you've previously uploaded or upload a new one.
Pick the entry you think is funny, incomplete, too short, whatever! You can share tips you've discovered while using YouTube, tell your story through a funny sketch, a song, an animation -- we're sure you can come up with lots more ideas than us! We'll take a look at what you put together and will embed the ones that best accompany each article right there on the Help Center, where millions of YouTube users will see it.
Thank you for helping us help other users -- we can't wait to see your next idea.

The Oscars Live on on YouTube
23 Şubat 2009 Pazartesi
On Sunday evening, the Academy Awards were handed out, and
Slumdog
Millionaire
swept the field with eight wins, including Best Picture. The world is still reacting to Hollywood's biggest night -- and posting many of those reactions here on YouTube.
For those of you who missed the three-hour plus telecast,
CelebTV
provides
a great
recap
of the show in less than two minutes, highlighting some of the night's most memorable moments, including Heath Ledger's posthumous win for Best Supporting Actor. Meanwhile,
TV Guide's
YouTube Channel
features videos from both the red carpet, such as
this interview
with the child actors from
Slumdog
, as well as reactions from the winners just minutes after their names were called:

But perhaps one of the most touching post-Oscars videos we've seen is
this video from Longinus Fernandes, whom director Danny Boyle mentioned
during his acceptance speech for Best Director. Boyle apologized to
Fernandes, who choreographed the dance sequence at the end of
Slumdog
Millionaire
, for leaving his name off the credits. Fernandes thanks
Boyle for the mention, saying it was one of the most joyful moments of
his life:

Today in History: Warhol Dies, A Miracle Happens on Lake Placid
22 Şubat 2009 Pazar
In 1987, artist Andy Warhol dies in New York after gallbladder
surgery. Warhol is best remembered for his distinctive appearance and talent for blurring the boundaries between art and pop culture – both of which are in much evidence in his short experimental film
"Andy Warhol Eating a Hamburger," posted by

In 1932, U.S. Senator Ted Kennedy (D-MA) is born. Sometimes referred
to as the "Lion of the Senate," Kennedy gave his last publicly
televised speech at last year's Democratic National Convention, just
weeks after having brain surgery. Footage courtesy of

And in 1980, the U.S. Men's Hockey Team, led by coach Herb Brooks,
defeats the Soviet Union in the Winter Olympics. Often referred to as
the "Miracle on Lake Placid," it's considered one of the greatest
upsets in Olympic history. This video from
