Why the Number of O's In LOL Matter On YouTube

Posted by samzenpus on from the laugh-a-little-louder dept.

In a blog post Google explains how they came up with an algorithm to gauge a video's comedic potential. So if you want to watch funnier videos, make sure to add some extra o's or help them by visiting their Comedy Slam and voting."
