So you like videos, huh? Sure, we all do! That’s the spirit behind Google’s release of a brand-new YouTube look today. The site has been redesigned from the ground up to put the showcase more on videos, rather than text. I’ve been playing around on there for a little while, and I have to admit that the new design looks great. I haven’t played with any of the new functions yet, but there are a lot of new options and some much needed simplification.
For example, the 1-5 rating has been completely removed. Now, there’s like and dislike. You can choose video definition options for the increased amount of high definition videos. The next video option is now smarter, taking into consideration your browser history and how you got to the video you’re currently watching. Oh yeah, now you can also search without leaving your video, which is a long-awaited change for people who love to multi-task like I do.
So yeah, it’s won me over. What do you guys think? Are you digging your new video home away from home?
