This Week's Top News Stories on YouTube--New Year celebrations, the Iowa Caucuses, and more



Everyday on the CitizenTube Channel (and @CitizenTube on Twitter), along with our curation partners @storyful, we look at how the top news stories are covered on YouTube. Every week we'll post a weekly recap of the top news stories of the week:
  • We began the New Year by remembering some of biggest events of 2011: from Occupy Wall street to the death of Steve Jobs
  • We monitored events in Bahrain as protesters and security forces endlessly clashed, leading to the tear-gassing of the funeral of a 16 year old. 
  • We witnessed the powerful eruption of Sicily's Mount Etna volcano, which sent huge plumes of ash into the air, sparking flight disruption fears
  • We viewed thousands of Nigerians take to the streets in protest over the doubling of petrol prices due to fuel subsidy cuts.
  • We followed the GOP candidates as they gave eloquent speeches at the Iowa caucuses; the first major electoral event on the US campaign trail.
  • We saw Occupy Wall Street protesters get the drop on New York police as they reoccupied Zucotti Park on New Years Eve.
  • We watched a devastating landslide kill and injure dozens in the Philippines after a week of heavy rain.  
  • We were shocked at a bomb attack in Damascus that killed at least 25, sparking more anti-government protests.
  • And finally, we watched the world bring in the new year with widespread celebrations in AsiaEurope and the US

Please forgive me if I seem rude, but what you put out seems to be second or third hand drivel, and the responses hardly worth the reading.

You forgot "We consistenly ignored our users, allowed trolls and clickbombers to run wild, and generally continued our "asleep at the switch" policy."
