Here's where I go to instantly see what everyone else is watching or writing about on the web. It's free, easy-to-use, and pretty entertaining

You know that video on the web is hot.

But do you know which are the most viewed web videos at any moment?

Knowing what kinds of video are consistently in the most viewed category can help you understand what people are interested in, or at least what they find entertaining or amusing on the web.

And knowing what people find entertaining can help when you develop or market your own products - whether you use video or not.

The site I visit to find the most viewed (and most written about) videos on the web is http://www.viralvideochart.com/

Its a free site and from a single page you can quickly see the top 20 videos in several different categories.

You can use that site to keep up with the videos everyone else will be talking about.

And you can find video gems like the one at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SCfsCQybek0

Watch that one and you'll understand why short web videos can be so entertaining.
