  | | | | Quote: YouTube has announced that it will start to roll out changes to the site, stating that it is time for 'spring cleaning' at the start of the new decade.
The online video site is the most popular of its kind on the planet, and owners Google are keen to begin to turn audience into profit.
The YouTube blog indicates that some features will be dropped, others altered and new ones arriving.
Upcoming fifth anniversary
"The excitement of the new decade and our upcoming fifth anniversary has the YouTube team itching to make the site experience better than ever before," says Margaret Stewart - YouTube's User Experience Manager.
"We have all kinds of ideas about new things we could build and launch, but we are also taking some significant time in the coming months to do some early "spring cleaning" on the site design and user experience.
"What will this mean to you? Well, it means you'll see some things about the site design evolving to be more consistent across the site. And some things that haven't worked as smoothly as we would have liked them to will get the attention they deserve.
"Lastly, we may determine that some things we tried out just didn't fly and remove them from the site."
Feedback
The site asks for user feedback on what should change with other 2,000 changes already suggested on the feedback page.
"We'll be using a number of inputs to build our "to do" list: usage data that shows the things you use the most versus things that very few people use; usability testing that can help us understand what's broken that needs fixing; and, last but not least, we'd like to hear from you directly...
"What would you want to see fixed on the site? What would you remove completely, if you could?
"We'll use your feedback to help prioritise what we focus on, so we can all experience a cleaner, easier-to-use YouTube.
"We'll take a few weeks to digest your comments and will respond directly to the ideas you're most excited about." | | | | |
I'm kinda wondering if the comments on vids could be improved in some way, or even removed altogether - am I the only person that rarely if ever reads them, cos of the prats that use them for arguments?  I'd sooner more of the vid's description was visible than the comments if it came down to it... Can't remember what you call it (Feather?), but I'm using the 'light' version of YT at the mo, loads vids a lot quicker  So, what would you want changed? _________________Plain English advice on everything money, purchase and service related:

I'd stop it from playing the videos automatically.

Those bloody adverts that are not useful in the slightest. I wouldn't mind so much if they were mildy reputable e.g. Dixons, Microsoft, Shell, BMW etc etc etc not bloody cartoon yourself!
Were we meant to make realistic suggestions?

The errors I'm currently getting while trying to upload videos. I tried one yesterday in HD and as WMV. Neither got past a quarter of the way before the upload crashed.

If one is diving so close to the limits that +/- 1% will make a difference then the error has already been made.

+1 On a slow connection it's the last thing I want, I'd rather it buffered first or at least a decent amount before playing.... and to give me an option _________________TwitterCharlie Brooker: Macs are glorified Fisher-Price activity centres for adults; computers for scaredy cats too nervous to learn how proper computers work; computers for people who earnestly believe in feng shui.
