Web 2.0 is a phenomenon and YouTube is the perfect symbol of Web 2.0 applications. It has become wildly popular - one of the most popular, most-visited sites on the internet. No matter how often you visit it, you always come back. Below, we present to you the best applications for dealing with Youtube.
iDesktop.tv - iDesktop.tv is basically a Youtube but with a way more interactive interface plus an option to download and save any video to your PC. It also allows user to choose and download video in desired format, including AVI (Windows), 3GP (Mobile), MP4 (iPod), and MOV (Quicktime).
OrbitDownloader (Windows) - Powerful all-in-one media downloader for your desktop. OrbitDownloader removes the download barriers from almost all popular social media websites, i.e. Youtube, Dailymotion, Pandora, Rapidshare and many others. Once installed, you’ll be able to speedy download from almost any video or music streaming website.
Highlights include:
Videoembed (Greasemonkey script) - This one is really cool. Youtube videos are linked from everywhere these days. And this addon lets you watch the video right on the page it’s linked from. It automatically adds embedded video after each link to pages like Metacafe, Youtube, Myspace… and many others so you can view the video without going to the website. Check it out in action on the Digg’s video section.

After:
VideoFocus - Want to watch online videos without any distractions like ads, chats, comments, etc? This Greasemonkey script strips everything (ads, comments, related video…) but video and a plain background. Works with 30+ video sharing sites.
That’s about it… For more alternative ways to download and convert Youtube videos see our previously posted 18 Free Ways To Download Any Video off the Internet.

Those are some neat tricks. I like the grease monkey script to bring everything together.
You forgot one more: Blip’d lets you embed widgets into Youtube videos so you can make money selling whatever you want from your videos.
Linux and MacOSX filesystem for youtube
I’m really surprised there’s no Miro here.
Miro lets you search Youtube, Google Video, Revver, Dailymotion, blip.tv, Mefeedia & Yahoo! Video from a desktop application which will also download the videos to your computer whether it runs Linux, MacOSX or Windows .
Each search can also be saved as a ‘channel’, like an RSS feed so it can automatically download newer search results as they become available.
You must try Miro at http://www.getmiro.com

Fluny, a youtube video gallery generator.
It looks interesting, especialy the effects in the slideshow like in iTunes.
The website looks like too simple, i hope they will update it shortly as it is still in beta mode.
