YouTube Trends is not yet even a month old, but we've covered a pretty diverse array of videos in the blog portion of the site over the past few weeks. As we reach the end of the month (and the year) we wanted to look back at some of what we explored since we officially unveiled the site back on the 13th:

• Our biggest undertaking was a twelve-day 2010 countdown of top 10 lists covering every major category and genre on YouTube. (Plus a bonus Most Shared of 2010 list.)

We also...

• Looked at how "Baby" became the most-watched music video of the year, how "Double Rainbow" got big, and how young Keenan Cahill became a lip-syncing star.
  
  
• Wondered if Minecraft was the biggest underground trend of the year.
  
  
• Examined the "Cats vs. Dogs" rivalry.
  
  
• followed the biggest trend of the holiday season: "Hallelujah" flash-mobs in malls across America.
  
  
• Studied how CGI from Taiwan became so popular.
  
  
• Tracked the development of the "It Gets Better" Project.
  
  
• Highlighted how users were documenting the northeastern holiday blizzard.
  
  
• And saw protests in London, floods in Australia, and unrest in Moscow airports.

Check back in 2011 as we continue to bring you YouTube's biggest videos, trends, and phenomenon every day!
