You may or may not have noticed that YouTube has done a complete makeover on its site. Done away with the old and created some new; from making redesigns to doing away with the 5 star ratings. I’m going to give you the details in this social media blog!
Let’s start with what YouTube has gotten rid of. Remember when you could rate videos from 1 to 5 stars? Well not anymore. We all know the “like” system for comments on Facebook (We will discuss their new “like” feature later). Well YouTube designed it similar to that but instead, they have added a thumbs down sign. They have also added this function to the comments section to allow it to display the most liked comment at the top of all comments posted. In addition to the like system they added a Bulletin future that updates your subscribers and friends with a message that you write.
Now you might have noticed that the whole design has changed. To me it just seems like things are easier to get to.
- It’s a cleaner look
- The load time is quicker
- The subscribe and channel name have been moved closer to the video
- The “next up” video is at the top right instead of going back to subscription list
- The best rated comment appears at the top of all comments
I have heard that the YouTube redesigns are not over. So keep a watch out for new changes to YouTube! While you are at it view our YouTube channel and don’t forget to subscribe!
Now for Facebook. I don’t know about you but I’m not sure how I feel about their new “like” feature for fan pages. If you aren’t caught up yet, Facebook took away the fan a page feature where you could become a fan of a page. Now, you only “like” fan pages. It’s a small change but I think it will take me a bit to get used to.
What do you all think about the change? Let us know on our facebook fan page. Oh and be sure to “like” our page!
