YOU TUBES FACELIFT

On 12/01/2011 Google released YOUTUBES new look.  It has a much soft more approachable feel and has definitely given up some of the amateurism in it's look from before.  Google tested the new look with selected people to work out any bugs so when it released it would be so seamless they would have to point it out to some users.  Their plan worked.  For a while they had a little blue box at the bottom right to help use see the new look.

Over all we are talking about a much cleaner look where a user can go and customize their channel to their tastes.  Some other new features you tube is boasting is a colored background instead of white, and now their watch page is really a useful tool to the tuber who takes this seriously, finally and I am sure you have notice this by now, they have increased the overall size of the thumbnails to make it easier for the user to get an idea of what the video look is.

You may Love it or You may hate it but regardless it was time for YOUTUBE to make a change.  I personally feel the look and usability is great!  What are your thoughts.  YOU TUBE I give you a thumbs up on your new look and effort behind it.
