YouTube make a news video page

Two months after entering beta, YouTube's video page redesign is ready for its close up. Google's video-sharing site first unveiled the makeover in late January, and today the streamlined interface goes live to all users. Changes include reducing the number of links that pepper playback apple a1060 pages, and moving the name of the video's submitter to just below the title.

First, it provides a cleaner UI that's "more subdued, stripped down and simple than before," according to a January blog post by Yahoo designer Julian Frumar and Dell vostro 1400 battery software engineer Igor Kofman. Second, it's designed to improve the site's stickiness by getting visitors to watch more videos and (hopefully) never leave.

The revamped video page is structured to appeal to power users and novices alike. At first glance, the changes are subtle, but longtime YouTubers will spot the changes right off apple powerbook g4 12 inch battery . he "next up" video list on the right side of the screen is now smarter, in that it takes into consideration how you arrived at the site. If you reached the video via search query, for instance, the suggestions list shows the other search results.

If you arrived via a playlist or recommendation, however, the list displays other playlist or recommendation suggestions. In addition, you can now conduct a search while watching a video--a boon for multitaskers to hstnn-ob53 . Results appear on the right side of the page and won't interrupt the video.

The video-sharing site owned by Google Inc. is revamping the pages on which visitors watch clips. It's an effort to de-clutter YouTube and drive people to watch more videos of apple a1022 battery .Starting late Wednesday, YouTube plans to roll out a reorganized version of its video playback page that is more streamlined and focuses more on watching clips.

Gone is the old 5-star rating system. Google says that most people used either a "1" or a "5" to rate a video--a love-it-or-hate-it scenario--so the new rating system reflects that by featuring only two buttons on Dell xps m1330 battery : "Like" and "Don't Like." Click "Like," and YouTube adds the video to your favorites list.

Industrial production in the world's second-biggest economy retreated 0.9 percent from January, following 11 consecutive months of gains acer 3610 battery , the government said Tuesday. The result missed Kyodo News agency's average market forecast of a 0.4 percent decline.

But the number of jobless rose 8.4 percent from a year earlier to 3.24 million, with 1.1 million saying they were laid off by Dell 2200 battery . The number of people with employment fell 1.3 percent to 61.85 million.

Still, the latest numbers offer a less than inspiring picture of Japan's economic health. While Dell latitude d630 battery production overall is still trending higher, economists question whether improvements can be sustained and translate into stronger job and wage growth.

February's core consumer price index dropped 1.2 percent from a year earlier in the 12th straight month of decline.
