[Air-L] YouTube Data

[amanda brennan]

@Alex, is this the YouTube network visualization you were thinking of?
https://blogs.k-state.edu/it-news/2013/04/08/the-nodexl-series-conducting-a-data-extraction-of-a-youtube-video-network-part-7/It
seems similar to what you were mentioning.

@Megan, while it's not exactly what you're looking for, Know Your Meme
scrapes Facebook shares & Twitter link statistics to any video uploaded to
the site, if you're looking for easy access to those stats. They're on the
right side of the page <http://knowyourmeme.com/videos/66265-vine> under
the description.
