55 Freeware Utilities and Free Web Services for YouTube Users

YouTube (http://www.youtube.com) is not one of the most popular, but the MOST POPULAR site to distribute and share your favorite videos, and to find and review video clips from your friends, or just from other Youtubers on the topic of your personal interests.

The number of videos uploaded to YouTube each day is astounding. According to InformiTV: Every minute, some 13 hours of video are uploaded to YouTube. “That’s the equivalent of Hollywood releasing more than 57,000 full-length movies every week.” In November 2006, YouTube was bought by Google Inc. for $1.65 billion, and is now operated as a subsidiary of Google.

While for most of the people, YouTube experience is limited by the developers’ website, there are already multiple third-party services, tapping in the basic site functionality.

Couple of days ago, I have started a new project, bringing all the useful free services and computer programs, related to YouTube, on one list. This Rating List from RateItAll will present a collection of the best Youtube software utilities and online services to download Youtube videos, convert them into more popular formats, or just upload them on the site. All the reviewed tools are free to use and are going to enhance your YouTube experience. At the moment, the list is far of being complete, but I would like to ask assistance of the Flixya users’ to fill blank spots and add the favorites, worth placing on the list.

You can leave your suggestions in the comments to this post, or submit your entry directly to the RateItAll list. Appreciate your assistance.
