YouTube continues to upgrade the way we watch videos. Not only can you watch cartoons, music videos, news, class lectures, but now you can play games on YouTube. How does that work? YouTube allows users to add annotations to their videos which also serve as a link to a website or video.

Using annotations and time markers has allowed users to created “video” games like the Win/Fail game. The game is simple. You get a question and four possible answers. Pick the right one and you win and move on the next question. Every time you pick an answer you are sent to a new clip.

Check out one of these games after the jump...

 

It’s surprising how sites like YouTube and Twitter have change the way we use the internet. Twitter has changed the speed in news delivery, the way people communicate, YouTube serving like an online TV cable.

I like the concept of building something new, but these games aren’t my favorite. I don’t like being sent to another clip every time I click to play. I just don’t see this becoming the next online trend.

Do you see yourself playing YouTube games?

I think youtube is a great tool for anyone interested in watching or uploading videos. I have been using the site for years now, and still think it is doing a good job. Ok, so sometimes it gets criticized for being too easy to break copyright laws, but youtube's online security is getting better. The best thing about the site is its great video search engine and database. No wonder it made it as the top sharing site on http://www.dozenvideo.com this month. But there's some tough competition out there and as online video gets bigger and bigger, there's sure to be a backlash. Keep online videos free and easy to share!
