With the acceptance and popularity of smartphones more people are connecting to the Internet than every before. In the past half-decade the way people interact with media has been changing.

Rides: Best of 2011
Read any of Hotlap’s captions in Rides, and there will be no question in your mind about how smitten this expert curator is with his subject matter. You’d be lucky to get a love letter from your significant other that’s written as poetically and romantically, assuming you’re as seductive as an Art Morrison 3G 1960s Corvette, Bentley SuperSports coupe, or a GT-R.

SkatePALS and RADBMX: Best of 2011
Csvizzero is a skateboarder and filmmaker himself which translates into the visually and technically pleasing content he posts into his SkatePALS and RADBMX channel. It’s a great destination if you’re looking for footage of and interviews with the best up and coming skaters and BMXers.

Rock Live: Best of 2011
One of my favorite things is going to concerts and music festivals. There’s just something inimitable about listening to the raw sounds of a live guitarist. And, I’ve had some pretty ‘interesting’ experiences at concerts- like getting trampled on in mosh pits or having whisky spilled on my face at intimate gigs. But, it’s all worth it. Watching a musician perform...

Exploration: Best of 2011
The year of 2011 was full of amazing discoveries and big scientific experiments. For the first time in human history we had the opportunity to observe collision of the particles at the highest speeds. This year also was marked by our achievements in space exploration, especially on Mars, and many other achievements on the field of science and exploration. We explored in-depth a number of...

Orso: Best of 2011
I have learned SO much over the past year as a curator that I can honestly say I would be a different person today if I had never started. I am extremely proud of my shares and sincerely hope they entertain and inform an audience who appreciates them as much I do. From the beautiful, inspiring videos about saving the planet in the Earth Hackers channel, to the always entertaining, sometimes...

The Loft: Best Indie Music Videos 2011
We all know that the radio is shit, the top forty is a laughing joke, and pretentious indie blogs promote crap for the sake of “obscurity.”
So here’s my choice for the best indie music videos and indie rock artists of the year unfiltered by corporate control and snarky music critics:
Best Artists of 2011:

The Bassline: Best Electronic Videos of 2011
Electronic music has gotten a bad rep in America. No, it’s not all about repetitive trance, glow-sticks, or cheesy mainstream house.
Electronic music is a diverse and varied genre that still hasn’t gotten the same mainstream attention as hip hop and rock in the United States. Because our technology is growing so fast, new innovative music that we never thought was possible is...

Look: Best of 2011
This channel is as ambiguous as my interests. There’s no real concept here beyond stimulating those rods and cones that hide at the back of our eyeballs. If the films make your pulse race, your brain buzz or your eyeballs stop blinking then I think I’ve accomplished something. In recent years the cost of filming high-quality video has fallen dramatically and these days most anyone with a little...

Street Level: Best of 2011
This year my mind was enhanced by all the great videos I got to watch. It’s amazing the kind of visual awesome that is created and shown just because someone felt like it just had to be made. It’s real and amazing and the love shows through in the quality of the content. Not only was the quality of visual story telling beautiful, but the subjects themselves...

Reanimation: Best of 2011
This was my first year working with Redux and running the animation channel has been a fantastic voyage. I’ve been truly amazed by the level of talent out there in the animation community. I’ve laughed, cried, cheered and been genuinely surprised. Animators are a special breed who work in an extremely difficult field that requires patience, diligence and copious hours of work. The result is a...

Modern Sex: Best of 2011
Finding videos about sexuality has always been an interesting challenge. There is a lot of sex out there, but not all of it needs sharing. Some of it absolutely warrants being shown to the whole world, but it can get a little heavy and, at times, seem preachy. These five are a representation of some of the more entertaining and thought-provoking videos from the Sex_Love_Intelligence...

Inside Fashion: Best of 2011
Our Inside Fashion curator Roberto Piqueras sent over his top five videos he’s posted in his channel in 2011 and I’m happy to share them with you here. For those of you not familiar with Roberto, he’s a designer who hails from Spain but currently is living in London. His channel is a great glimpse into the world of fashion that has always seemed way beyond me. It’s a great...

Comic Appeal: Best of 2011
2011 has been a landmark year for comedy. With the internet smashing any barrier to entry that may have once existed, content saturation is higher than ever. And that’s a boon to a comedy lover like myself! With greater quantity inevitably comes more chances to come across comic productions of great quality - which was certainly the case this year. Even top comedians like Louis CK have...

Comedy: Caught On Tape: Best Of 2011
Social media doesn’t seem to be slowing down and proof can be found all over the web. Video hosting and blogging platforms, status updates and location-based networking are broadcast mediums that have increased in usage in 2011. I’m not sure what this all means to the ‘big picture’ and it may not take much brainwork to enjoy most social content, but a byproduct of our love...

Music Backstage: Best of 2011
1969 had Woodstock. A decade later, punk music started a revolution. 1991 brought us Nirvana. And, 2011 exposed us all to the great musical prodigy that is…Rebecca Black?
Okay, so 2011 didn’t bring us the next Jimi Hendrix, but it was still a memorable year in music. We witnessed the death of Amy Winehouse, Pearl Jam turned a whopping 20, and David Lynch released an album. (Who...

Cinematheque: Best of 2011
Over the next couple weeks Redux curators will be sharing their favorite five posts from 2011. I’m going to get us started with some of my favorite short films I’ve posted in my Cinematheque channel this year.
When I first began to peruse my channel to pick my top five I came to the realization that a) I’ve watched at least over 1,000 short films this year and b) out of those...
