New Design of YouTube
It has revamped its website putting channels at the core of the service. It’s actually the improved version of YouTube. Channels are now displayed in a central column on the site’s home page resembling news feeds on social networks such as Google+ or Facebook. A channel is a curated list of video clips chosen by a specific YouTube member or celebrity.
The intension from YouTube is clear, it wants people to spend longer on the site, but there is some negative response for this change also. Around 20 hours after an official “Get More into YouTube” clip explaining the move went live, 6,500 members had clicked the “dislike” button, but only few have clicked on “Like”.
YouTube has highlighted the fact that the site now offered deeper integration with Google+ and Facebook, helping members see what their friends were sharing without leaving YouTube’s site. Google has planned of launching around 100 channels curated by celebrities and other well-known content providers. The firm is investing tens of millions of dollars into the project, probably the new channels are expected to launch next year.
