Background
You Tube, an online venue for sharing and reviewing video clips, is the fourth-most-visited website in the world (after Yahoo, MSN, and Google). Launched just two years ago, YouTube has quickly permeated the culture. YouTube videos are being used by instructors in college classrooms, can be viewed on Apple's new iPhone, and are often posted on the home pages of MySpace and Facebook subscribers.
When uploading videos to YouTube, users enter tags, or keywords, to describe the video, and also select a category (e.g. Comedy) from a list of twelve. The categories and keywords help other users find videos of interest.
Anyone may watch videos on YouTube ...
