YouTube

YouTube remains the Big Cheese for watching politicians kill their careers with a few ill-chosen words or photos, frat boys set themselves on fire, and felines impersonate Elvis. Because YouTube is so popular, it only makes sense that the iPhone and iPod touch offer you a way to watch its content. They do so via the YouTube app.

Navigating YouTube

Tap the YouTube icon on the Home screen, and you’ll see an interface very much like the one in the Videos app. Like the Videos screen, this one has five buttons along the bottom. By default, these buttons are Featured, Most Viewed, Search, Favorites, and the ever-popular More (Figure 8.9).

Figure 8.9. Buttons at the bottom of the YouTube screen.

Here’s what you’ll find when you tap each button.
