YouTube is releasing localized versions of its site. You can read more about it here on ZDNet.
Like Flickr, YouTube can be used by foreign language teachers as a great source for examples of authentic language around the world. However, like most massive international sites, the language tends to default to English. There is currently a search function by language if you know where to find it, but it's only about 50% accurate. The new localized versions should be much better about providing video and discussion in the target language.

It would be interesting to explore using the groups functionality within youtube to make collections of useful materials.
