As you watch more and more videos, you may come across ones you'd like to see again or show to someone else later. YouTube offers a really handy feature for this, called your favorites. You may add up to 500 videos to your favorites. Your favorites list is then available to you any time to review videos you liked a lot or to show your friends and family members who weren't available to see it when you came across the video. To favorite a video, simply move your mouse pointer below any live video, and click Favorite (Figure 5-6).
A message will appear telling you the video has been added to your favorites. You can then access your list of favorite videos at any time by clicking the Account link found at the top of every YouTube page and then clicking Favorites. The videos are organized in the order in which you added them to your favorites. I really enjoy looking at my Favorites list occasionally; it acts as a sort of timeline for my hours, weeks, months, and years spent on YouTube. As I view certain videos from months ago, I recall where I was at that time and who I was actively working on projects with.
