The possibility in YouTube to use annotations and link to other videos has opened doors to new ways of using the video portal.

4. The Asylum – Titanic II Official Trailer
Yes, it’s here. The sequel to a movie that everyone thought would have no sequel. After all, the Titanic sank, so how could there be a Titanic II? This Titanic is sailing out 100 years after the first one, and encounters almost the same fate. The film is produced by The Asylum, a direct-to-dvd production company that specializes in creating imitations of box-office crashing Hollywood movies. The trailer has been viewed over 350,000 times now. The fake trailer from a couple of years ago was clearly not real, but how about this one?
