Of Weird Clouds and Youtube



Does anyone know what these weird words are for?

Just recently, I knew that these random words stand for tag clouds that you would usually find at youtube.
(Believe me, I just recently knew this one, and just recently I knew that this kind of thing exists.)

But back to reality.
Last November 25, we did an experiment for one of our subjects in school wherein we would be monitoring the video traffic or the videos that are being uploaded in youtube for a span of 6 hours.

It was really a long wait, and for every two hours we have to take note of the videos recently uploaded and the genre of the video, as well as from what country the video was uploaded from.
