YouTube App Confirmed (for Xbox, anyway)

Microsoft announced at their E3 Media Briefing in Los Angeles today that YouTube will be available through XBox Live as part of an XBox Dashboard update this fall.  No other feature details for the app have been announced at this time.

YouTube Takes You to (Copyright) School

YouTube has recently announced the opening of their new Copyright Help Center.  Along with this announcement is the opening of YouTube Copyright School, which users will have to complete a tutorial if they are caught violating copyright.

YouTube Adds Features to Video Editor

I don't have too much experience with the feature (never really needed to use it, and I had problems with it when I tried), but YouTube has added a few new features to it's video editor.


Features added include a stabilizer, which attempts to remove unsteady camera shaking from a video, and a 3D editing feature, which is an attempt to make YouTube 3D video much easier to create.

YouTube Creator Institute and YouTube NextUp

Last week, YouTube announced their YouTube Next campaign.  At that time, it was a bit unclear as to what this actually meant.  Over the past couple of days, the Official YouTube Blog has cleared up some of the confusion, and has announced two programs (or contests) with the hopes of getting people in front of (or perhaps behind?) the camera.
