YouTube’s probably a pretty big (and wildly unproductive) part of your life. So it sucks that it’s organised like a drunken blind guy’s sock drawer. Google’s trying to do something about that with a new and very pretty redesign available to select users, according to The Next Web.
The new design is focused around heavier Google+ integration and organising all of your feeds and subscriptions into something more manageable than a face slap full of thumbnails every time you visit the homepage. Its visual style fits in with the rest of Google’s recent redesigns and the kinda-recent Cosmic Panda update to YouTube’s actual video player. It also simplifies (and good-ifies) some basic features, like giving the Fullscreen button a few options, or making recommended content pop out when clicked, so you don’t get lost down the content rabbit hole quite so often.
It looks pretty good, but we’re still not sure on the full details of the redesign and when we might see a wider release. We’ll keep you updated as we find out more. [TheNextWeb]
“available to select users” – It’s probably being done on Google’s 10% rule. 10% of people going to Youtube will be sent to the new layout then will give feedback on the experience. Maybe you will also need to have a Google+ account to be chosen.
About time!
As a partner been keen to see what they have been working on – just hoping it sorts out the subscription issues at the same time!
I’d also like to see most popular/viewed outside the UK – back to global or at least an easy menu to – so sick of seeing video gameplay videos and not enough orginal content from the Uk.
Could just be an opt-in option like cosmic panda and gmail layouts before they actually rolled out to everyone.
That should have been a reply to @Darrell Jones
already looked at that and no.
