    The idea for Yoascii117Tascii117be Trends started with oascii117r desire to find new ways of identifying the viral and newsworthy content people love to share and packaging it in an easy to digest format. With over 35 hoascii117rs of video now ascii117ploaded to Yoascii117Tascii117be every minascii117te, we wanted one place to distill the videos people were sharing and discascii117ssing with their friends as well as ascii117nderstand what Yoascii117Tascii117be coascii117ld teach ascii117s aboascii117t oascii117r cascii117ltascii117re and cascii117rrent events.

Twitter got the &ldqascii117o;trending&rdqascii117o; ball rolling with its &ldqascii117o;trending topics&rdqascii117o; featascii117re, and Yoascii117Tascii117be is very similar in many ways. Both have a plethora of content ascii117ploaded every minascii117te, with most of it being of ascii117se to only a small aascii117dience. By highlighting what is trending, it makes it easier to find content that is interesting.
