The Best of YouTube

Only the good stuff

From , former About.com Guide

There are limits to the amount of time that even I am willing to waste. If I'm going to waste time I want to maximize my enjoyment. That's why I tend to stay away from YouTube. There is just too much pure junk to wade through to find the good videos.

That is why I love The Best of YouTube. They have distilled YouTube down to just over 1,000 top videos and they have a voting system to give you an idea of how other users rate the videos.

Obviously, not all the videos will appeal to everyone, but I've been working my way though the site and I've found very few real stinkers. I judge this site to be a quality time waster and well worth your video watching attention.

Here are a few of my favorites so far:

Cat Watching the fight

What is the Large Hadron Collider (LHC)?

Slightly Different Gymnastics Routine
