Youtube layout: beta

  • they got rid of the large banner (” Use Quicklists!”) which was basically a waste of space.
  • all clip info is now under the video instead of to the right. All info on and action on a video are now in one place. I like it.
  • Youtube likes you to check out other videos. Most newly freed space is dedicated to thumbnails of other (’related’/'promoted’) clips: you now see 13 of them on the frist page instead of 5.
  • del.icio.us
  • digg
  • Reddit
  • Facebook
  • FriendFeed
