I’m on the fence about the new look and feel of YouTube, but I felt this would be a great opportunity to see how Twitter and its users would react. Version 1 of an idea I had early for using Twitter as a litmus test. I ran some numbers using the search API and generated some pretty graphs, enjoy!
This happened to me a while ago, but I recently stumbled upon the screenshots somewhere on my desktop (Yes take a screenshot whenever a website does something that pisses me off). This will begin my, hopefully abundance of, rant posts about otherwise great/successful software applications and websites. I found Twitter was much to short to fully express myself, but I’ll leave my twitter rant for another occasion.
The target of this post: YOUTUBE.com, yes you.. tube </bad joke>.
Youtube’s recent UI change (last quarter or so) has some new modules on their front page which include: recommended videos, popular videos by category (love this module), videos being watched right now (which I still don’t understand) and Featured videos.
Here is what I saw:
Look at all the great suggested videos for me to watch!
