Life in a Day
A few weeks ago YouTube and Ridley Scott announced a new project called Life in a Day. They asked everyone to record one day: July 24th. 80.000 videos were submitted to the project and YouTube just launched the official gallery which is viewable as a 3D sphere or a simple tiled list.

Vacationer
YouTube also launched a new branded travel channel. The new YouTube Vacationer travel channel includes videos with travel tips and advice from experts from National Geographic, Travel Channel, Howcast, and more. It features videos from Caribbean, European, U.S. and Canada, and “exotic” destinations. The interactive “Vacation You” feature allows you to create your own video for your dream vacation… Oh man… Watching these videos made me realize how much I’m in need of some vacation time… Until then I guess YouTube’s Vacationer will have to do… ;-)
