“2011 was a year of amazing new channels and new stars being discovered, awesome creativity, and of course, Rebecca Black,” writes Kevin Allocca, YouTube Trends Manager. “It was also a year of powerful news stories playing out on YouTube, as people witnessed and documented uprisings and natural disasters, touching personal moments and moments of protest.”
