"I really didn't want him to go too fast," said Rick Violette, who trains Samraat for Leonard Riggio's My Meadowview Stable. "We just wanted to get it done. Time was only important if he went too fast, and he didn't. He went great."
At Belmont Park, both Wicked Strong and Uncle Sigh went out after the second renovation break at 9:30 a.m.
"I like the way he worked," said Wicked Strong trainer Jimmy Jerkens. "A lot of things have to work out. He's got to handle the crowd, he's got to handle the track, he's got to handle all the other things that go with it. At least he's going there in a good frame of mind and in good condition."
Uncle Sigh, who was 1-3-0 in four starts before finishing fifth in the Wood, went five furlongs under former jockey and exercise rider Nick Santagata.
"It was a very strong work," said trainer Gary Contessa of the Wounded Warrior Stable color-bearer. "His last quarter-mile was effortless and it was exactly what I was looking for. He came back like he can't even blow out a match."
It was the second time Uncle Sigh worked in blinkers, which he will wear in the Derby.
"He's much more focused," said Contessa. "Everybody that puts blinkers on before the Derby worries about being the next Palace Malice."
NYRA brothers headed to the Kentucky Derby
When the starting gate opens for the 11th race on Saturday, May 3 at Churchill Downs, two young brothers from Puerto Rico will have realized a childhood dream: to ride in the Kentucky Derby.
By doing so, jockeys Jose and Irad Ortiz, Jr. will become only the third pair of siblings to compete in the Derby, joining brothers Eddie and Sam Maple, who both rode in the 1984 edition of the race, and Chris and Gregg McCarron, who contested the race in 1976.
And to underscore their achievement, at ages 20 and 21, respectively, the Ortiz brothers will also be the youngest to do so.
"It's a terrific accomplishment," said trainer Rick Violette, who will give Jose Ortiz a leg up aboard My Meadowview Farm's Samraat in the Derby. "It's probably very, very limited in any sport where two brothers have reached the top."
The Ortiz brothers' rise to the highest level of the sport on The New York Racing Assocation, Inc. (NYRA) circuit has been extraordinarily quick.
In 2011, Irad's first year in New York, he won 151 races from 1,016 starts and amassed $2,861,694 in earnings. The following year, his first without an apprentice allowance, he bested his win total by one despite riding 329 more horses, but his earnings skyrocketed to $9,134,832.
In 2013, Irad solidified his status as a top jockey, riding 223 winners from 1,508 mounts and bolstering his earnings even further, to $14,344,538, fifth in the nation.
Jose's ascension to the upper echelon of riders has been just as swift. He booted home 98 winners out of 697 mounts in 2012, his first year in New York, and earned north of $3 million.
In 2013, he won 224 races from 1,398 starts and earned $12,635,662, good for No. 11 among North American jockeys.
So far this year, the two are virtually deadlocked in purse money, with Jose at $4,187,322 and Irad at $4,125,984 through April 25. For the second year, they finished 1-2 in the Big A's inner-track jockey standings, with Irad edging his brother both times.
The expectation might be that such rapid success would change the brothers, but that has not been the case.
They have earned just as much respect from local horsemen for their humility and work ethic off the track as they have for their skill in the afternoons in New York, where they have ridden almost exclusively.
"They still live very conservative lifestyles, they just love to ride," said Violette. "And maybe that's [the key to their success]. They're nice kids and they've maintained their balance through everything, which doesn't always happen."
As children, Irad and Jose would sneak into Hipodromo Camarero in Puerto Rico, and there they fell in love with the sport.
They both attended their native country's Escuela Vocacional Hipica, a school for prospective jockeys. Among their idols are Angel Cordero, Jr. and John Velazquez, both native Puerto Ricans and Hall of Famers, who now serve as mentors to the young jockeys.
On the first Saturday in May, the brothers will have the opportunity to ride alongside their childhood hero in the Derby, as Velazquez has the mount aboard Intense Holiday.
"I'm very excited," said Irad Ortiz, who will be aboard the Gary Contessa-trained Uncle Sigh. "It's always been my dream to ride in the Derby."
Although natives of Trujillo Alto in Puerto Rico, both Irad and Jose have become New Yorkers, sharing a house five minutes from Belmont Park.
"The Derby has been my dream," said Jose Ortiz, echoing the words of his brother. "And now it's coming true."
Belmont opens May 1
Anchored by the 146th running of the Grade 1, $1.5 million Belmont Stakes on June 7, Belmont Park opened on Thursday, May 1, with world-class racing forming the backbone of the 54-day spring/summer meet and a host of improvements and special events to enhance the guest experience.
Guests will be able to experience the entire Triple Crown series at Belmont Park beginning on Kentucky Derby Day, Saturday, May 3.
Gates will open at 10 a.m. and fans can watch and wager on all the racing action from Churchill Downs and root for their favorite New York horses in the Derby, as well as enjoy the first two of 29 graded stakes during the Belmont meet: the Grade 3 Beaugay and the Grade 3 Fort Marcy, both $150,000 events on the turf.
Admission to both the Grandstand and Clubhouse at Belmont Park is only $5, excluding Belmont Stakes Day, when Grandstand admission is $10 and Clubhouse admission is $30.

Two kinds of dinner rolls in one week! Sarah came over for dinner for these, and she gave them her usual enthusiastic review. She also took four of them home for breakfast, so we don't have our regular problem of too much bread to eat. (Although I do have some leftover wheat sourdough with seeds and a few leftover butter-dipped dinner rolls in the freezer).
I have to say that I had some problems making these rolls, even with the step-by-step drawings in the book. You pat pieces of dough in a circle, then you put a little piece of butter in the center, along with a sprinkle of fleur de sel. Then you pull out two sides and fold them over in the middle and you do the same thing with the other sides. Then you take some other sides and do the same thing, and you may or may not do it a fourth time. The directions say you do it a total of three times, and the drawings say four. I chose four, because otherwise there would still be one side that never got any attention.
Then you plunk them in a pan of flour, top side down, and when you're done with that, you put them top side up, with a lot of flour still on top, on a baking sheet. And then you bake them. Some of the little flaps in the middle are supposed to sort of open up, which they didn't exactly do, even though I was careful not to seal them too tight.
But never mind! These are exceedingly delicious. They're crusty on the outside, and soft on the inside, with that wonderful little burst of salty, buttery flavor when you bite into the middle. They look kind of like giant Mexican wedding cakes when you take them out of the oven, but they would certainly surprise you if that's what you were expecting.
I didn't want them too salty, so I just put a small pinch. Next time I would use a bigger pinch, because they could have had more and still not have been too salty.
Still, although these are spectacular rolls, unlike the butter-dipped rolls, I wouldn't use them for a Big Dinner because they're very labor intensive at about the same time you might be trying to make the gravy.

I also made them, see http://peho.typepad.com/chili_und_ciabatta/2006/04/ungewhnliche_ta.html
I decided to pinch them 3 times (also had the problem with the picture). But I like them quit a lot :-)

Yours are beautiful! Next time I make them, I'll try the three-pinch method.
Yours looks great. Mine often turns out rounded and smooth. Still trying to get that open rose state. You can find me in Singapore :

Admissions Decisions Released
The long awaited day for many seniors in which selective schools release their admissions decisions has finally passed. Students are now left with either an easy decision on where to attend, or a difficult one fraught with the anxieties of evaluating the pros and cons of each school countless times.
If you are dealing with some disappointment, it always helps to put things in perspective. A recent post on the NY Times Choice Blog presents the latest statistics on a few of the most select schools (with more to come), and reminds its readers that there are a couple thousand schools in the United States, most of which not only admit all applicants, but also offer an excellent education.

Good news to anyone who loves the Birdsong Twitter client for Windows Phone as much as the next person, as Red Badger announced last month the arrival of an intern at the company. Joe Stanton, a student at King's College London (studying Computer Science), will be heading up further development on the app, which has received little attention since the Mango update hit handsets.
So what should we look forward to see in the (hopefully) near future? Trending Topics (both local and global), ReadItLater/Instapaper support for tweeted links, as well as large-scale improvements to the push service. Sounds like a solid plan. On a slight funny note, it'll be interesting to see what an apparent iPhone user (according to the above photo) can bring to the app.
You can download Birdsong from the Marketplace for $0.99 (79p).

A year ago, on a November night, two unidentified assailants awaited Oleg Kashin, a correspondent for the Russian business daily Kommersant, by his home on a central Moscow street, a 10-minute walk from the Kremlin. The two had hidden steel rods in bouquets of flowers.
With those special bouquets, they struck Kashin 56 times in 90 seconds. They hit him on his head, his hands, and his legs. His injuries were so severe that doctors medically induced a coma for two weeks.
This barbaric act shocked Russia's journalist community. The beating symbolized an attack on journalism itself. Perhaps this is the reason why, for the first time in a long time, journalists from various, often competing publications came together in solidarity in the aftermath of the incident. They held a sustained vigil in front of the Interior Ministry in Moscow and a demonstration, calling for better protection of journalists.
This attack was promptly condemned by Russia's president, Dmitry Medvedev. Using his Twitter account, Medvedev pledged that the criminals would be apprehended and punished "no matter what their position in society, no matter what merits they might possess." The day after, Medvedev tasked Russia's Prosecutor General Yuri Chaika and Interior Minister Rashid Nurgaliyev with personally supervising the investigation into the attack. Authorities opened a criminal case, classifying the attack as an attempt on Kashin's life.
One year later, however, none of Kashin's assailants have been arrested; those who commissioned the crime remain unknown. Most of Russia's media ignored the anniversary of the attack--perhaps because the preliminary results of the investigation have not been published. Kashin himself signed a non-disclosure agreement on the investigation.
People close to the investigation revealed details about it to CPJ. The main conclusion that can be made based on those details is that the crime was very well planned. Three assailants took part in the attack -- one was waiting for the other two in a getaway car, a black Ford Focus sedan. The car was caught on security video cameras; it turned out to be stolen, its license plates forged.
The attackers, the investigation shows, started surveying Kashin's movements on October 31, a week before they struck. Investigators were able to determine that based on the records of mobile phones active in the area at the time of the attack. The mobile phones the attackers used were cheap, designed for one-time-use, and equipped with unregistered SIM cards. They were first activated in late October, in a Moscow park, where, detectives believe, the attackers "rehearsed" their assault on Kashin. The mobile phones were last used the night of the attack. Right after the latter, one of the attackers made a phone call from his cell to a telephone number that remains unidentified. The telephone receiving the call, people close to the investigation told CPJ, was equipped with the rare and expensive software IMEI, which does not allow tracing of its true number. The IMEI system is used by intelligence and spy agencies. Investigators believe that this is the telephone, belonging to the mastermind of the attack.
Kashin's case landed in the hands of one of the most reputable investigators in Russia--Sergei Golkin of the Investigative Committee, the agency tasked with solving the countries' most serious crimes. Golkin earlier participated in the high-profile probes into the murders of Anna Politkovskaya and Paul Klebnikov, which remain unsolved.
In a year's time, Golkin and his team carried out a vast quantity of investigative actions in Kashin's case, according to people close to the probe. Most notably, the investigation identified at least three persons who sought and procured Kashin's home address in October 2010, days before the attack. Those persons had access to resources and databases available exclusively to law-enforcement agencies. (Kashin rents an apartment and his address is only known to a close circle.) All three have been questioned as part of the case. The first one, Roman Teryushkov, is a former leader of the pro-Kremlin youth group Molodaya Gvardiya Edinoi Rossii (Young Guards of United Russia) and a son of an influential Moscow businessman. After he was questioned in Kashin's case not long after the attack, Teryushkov left Moscow. His whereabouts are unknown.
The other two persons are Kristina Potupchik, press secretary of the Russian Federal Agency for the Youth, a government structure; and her acquaintance Roman Verbitsky, a representative of one of the most aggressive "soccer fan" groups in Russia, which is closely connected with the pro-Kremlin youth group Nashi (Ours). This group is known for its ultranationalist views and activities, as is Molodaya Gvardiya Edinoi Rossii.
In addition, detectives found and confiscated from Verbitsky's apartment metal rods like those used to beat Kashin. This type of rod has become the trademark weapon of aggressive "soccer fans," who are sometimes used in attacks on oppositionists and whose loyalties can be bought for the right price.
After such a promising start, where is the investigation into Kashin's case now? Kashin told CPJ that until spring 2011, the probe led by Golkin had focused on the theory that the attack against him was carried out by a certain pro-Kremlin youth group. "Investigators conducted hundreds of interrogations in my case," Kashin said. "Not only my friends, colleagues, and work contacts were questioned, but also the main suspects in the case."
The investigation considered three main bodies of journalistic work as possible motive for the attack, Kashin told CPJ. The first were his articles about the destruction of a forest in Khimki, a suburb of Moscow, in order to build a highway. (That project gained international notoriety when one of the highway's most ardent critics, journalist Mikhail Beketov, was beaten nearly to death in November 2008, and then convicted for slander; an investigation into the attack on him remains unsolved.)
In relation to this possible motive, several representatives of private security firms unofficially under the control of Khimki's powerful mayor, Vladimir Strelchenko, were questioned. (Those representatives are also suspected of involvement in the attack on Beketov.)
The second possible motive detectives looked at was Kashin's blogs criticizing Pskov Regional Governor Andrei Turchak. The governor had publicly threatened Kashin in August 2010, three months before the attack, with retaliation if Kashin did not apologize for comments scornful of Turchak's appointment. Investigators questioned Turchak as a witness in the Kashin case, but no further progress has been reported.
The third, and initially most investigated, motive was Kashin's work on ultranationalist groups.
Detectives questioned representatives of Molodaya Gvardiya Edinoi Rossii, whose website pledged near the time of the attack that Kashin "will be punished." Detectives told Kashin that they believed members of either Molodaya Gvardiya Edinoi Rossii or Nashi were involved in the attack against him, but no specific suspects have been identified.
"The only person who was not questioned--and who I personally consider the most probable mastermind of the attack on me--is Vasily Yakemenko, a person very close to [Prime Minister Vladimir] Putin as well as to [Deputy Chief of the Presidential Staff] Vyacheskav Surkov," Kashin told CPJ. Yakemenko is the founder of Nashi and head of the Federal Youth Agency, a senior government position.
"I asked one of the investigators in my case why Yakemenko had not been questioned, to which she responded that there wasn't enough evidence to do that yet," Kashin told CPJ. "But I think that the investigation was instructed from the very beginning that Yakemenko was not to be touched. Consider that 10 days after the attack on me, Putin met with Yakemenko--thus demonstrating his high degree of protection of him."
Despite the initial progress, the investigation into the attack on Kashin began to unravel after the spring. First, some journalists' sources tried to sell them the theory that the assault was ordered by a jealous lover of Kashin's. No evidence was found to back up that theory and it was not published.
Then, most disturbingly, the case was suddenly transferred from Investigator Golkin to Investigator Nikolai Ushchapovsky. (Ushchapovsky had previously led a probe, still unsolved, into the 2003 mysterious death of Yuri Shchekochikhin.) The Investigative Committee claimed that the personnel change was due to Golkin's heavy workload.
Ushapovsky took over the case in early October. By the middle of that month, when Ushchapovsky had not initiated communication with Kashin, the journalist procured his phone number and called the investigator on his own initiative. "I introduced myself and asked for a meeting," Kashin told CPJ. "But Ushchapovsky said he had to first read my case and that, before he does that, he sees no sense in meeting with me."
Kashin is still waiting.
"I had hopes in the past year, but now I'm afraid," Kashin told CPJ. "[President] Medvedev has repeatedly said that the attack against me must be solved. But he will cease being the president [after March elections] and when he does, his pledges will lose strength. Which means my case will be buried..."

Premier League strugglers Reading sack manager Brian McDermott
Reading have sacked Brian McDermott following a dismal run that has left the club joint-bottom of the league.
Last Updated: 12/03/13 10:34am
A 2-1 home defeat to fellow strugglers Aston Villa on Saturday was the club's fourth league loss in a row and cast them four points from safety.
McDermott, who took as caretaker manager in 2009 before succeeding Brendan Rodgers full-time a year later, guided the club to the Premier League last season.
A statement from the club on Monday afternoon read: "Owner Anton Zingarevich wishes to place on record his thanks to Brian.
"However, in our current situation, Anton Zingarevich felt that a change was necessary.
"The search for a successor will start immediately. It is hoped a new manager will be in place as soon as possible."
Sky Bet swiftly installed former Swindon boss Paolo Di Canio as odds-on favourite to take over at the Madejski Stadium, while ex-Southampton manager Nigel Adkins has emerged as another early contender.
Reading later announced that academy chief Eamonn Dolan would take charge of first-team matters ahead of a daunting trip to Manchester United on Saturday.
The Royals also confirmed that first-team coach Nigel Gibbs had left the club he joined in 2006.
Reading players have come out in support of former McDermott with striker Jason Roberts telling Sky Sports News: "He's a football man and a good man and I just think at this moment in time we take stock of what he has achieved and place on record our thanks.
"I as an individual player and I'm sure the others would like to place on record their thanks for what he and his (backroom) team have achieved for us."
Fellow forward Noel Hunt took to Twitter to praise the out-going boss, saying: "Want to say thanks to Brian for everything he did for me especially. He's been a Great Manager, Man and Friend to me and will be missed!"
With away games at Old Trafford and Arsenal the next two fixtures for Reading it remains to be seen if a replacement will be appointed before the trip to the leaders on Saturday evening.

Clinton Releases More Fuel Aid Funds; Pataki Distributes
Under heavy pressure from a wide array of public officials, including virtually every representative from Queens, President Bill Clinton last week ordered the release of more funds to aid low-income families and seniors to cope with wildly escalating heating oil costs.
The president ordered the release of $125 million remaining in the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP), which subsidizes home heating expenses for low income families. Of this, $36.3 million is allocated to New York state, bringing the total LIHEAP funding for this area to $73 million.
The president said he would also ask Congress to approve $600 million more to help the needy meet the additional costs of heating oil, which has spiked to $30 a barrel, a three fold increase.
Clinton also urged the states' governors to make more seniors and low-income families eligible for the emergency fuel aid.
Responding to Clinton's actions, Governor George Pataki announced last Friday that the first $28.3 million LIHEAP allocation had been received by the state and would be distributed. Pataki also announced that the basic emergency heating benefit for delivered fuels would be increased from $270 to $400; that there would be a second such benefit on top of the first; and that there would also be a second "regular" benefit.
About 800,000 Social Security recipients ages 65 through 69 who worked last year and are now required to give back part of their benefits because of what they earned may be getting good news this year.
Republicans in the House of Representatives have introduced legislation to eliminate the give-back requirement and President Bill Clinton is reportedly in agreement on it, saying he will sign the proposal if it comes before him without its being linked to any other legislation.
Presently, seniors 65 to 69 lose $1 of Social Security benefits for every $3 they earn. So if someone earns $3,000, lets' say, that person must give back $1,000 of the Social Security benefits received during the year.
Needless to say, that person and the 800,000 others in this category, can't be happy with this arrangement, which is just another tax added to the income taxes everyone, seniors and non-seniors alike, must pay every year. The policy also discouraged many seniors from working.
Commenting on the bill that was introduced by two Republicans, the president said he was "thrilled" because the extension of life expectancy to 83 puts many retirees in a position to continue working. "So I don't think we should penalize them," the president told a CNN reporter.
The bill will not in any way affect the status of Social Security recipients aged 62 to 65 who must return $1 of their benefits for every $2 earned. Nor does it affect those 70 and over, who can earn as much as they want to without giving back any benefits.
PRESCRIPTION DRUGS COVERAGE ACTIVITIES:Congressmembers Joseph Crowley (Elmhurst) and Anthony Weiner (Queens/Brooklyn) moved last week, along with their Democratic colleagues, to get action on bills to provide drug prescription benefits to seniors. In a separate action, Crowley and Congressmember Nita Lowey (Queens/Westchester) charged Queens and Bronx seniors are being forced to pay twice as much for their prescription drugs than seniors in Mexico and Canada.
Democrats in the House want the Republicans, who control the House, to agree to have Rx bills presently blocked in committees to be discharged so there can be debate on them and possibly a vote and passage. President Clinton is firmly behind one of the acts addressed by Crowley, Weiner and the other Democrats. This legislation would give 13 million Medicare recipients a prescription benefit which they don't presently have. Other seniors under other health plans usually have a drug prescription coverage plan.
The second bill the Democrats want to force out to the floor would bring down the prices of prescription drugs for seniors. Besides the Crowley/Lowey study which showed Mexican and Canadian seniors paying less than those in the United States and Weiner's study showing pet owners paying less for drugs for their pets when they buy the same drugs sold to seniors at higher prices, Crowley has also complained that seniors pay more for drugs than the U.S. government, HMOs and hospitals, all of whom get discount prices from large pharmaceutical firms.
Weiner stated, "Including a prescription drug benefit in Medicare is simply common sense, and it is time for the Republicans in Congress to end their logjam of this crucial legislation."
Lowey and Crowley said their study is "further evidence of the troubling trend of price discrimination against our seniors."
HOUSING OPTION FOR VETS:Under current law, a veteran can use a Veteran Administration loan to buy a house, townhouse, condominium or mobile home, but not a co-op. Last week, Congressmember Carolyn Maloney (D–Manhattan/Astoria) filed a bill to give a veteran the added option of buying a co-op apartment with a VA loan.
"A home is a home," Maloney stated, "and veterans should have a right to live in a co-op if they so choose." She noted, "HUD (Housing and Urban Development) and other government agencies already give loans for co-ops, so why shouldn't the VA give veterans the same opportunity?"
COHEN ASKS MORE $ FOR ADULT DAY CARE:Citing Social Adult Day Care as "the best defense against the premature institutionalization of our senior citizens," Assemblymember Michael Cohen (D–Forest Hills) declared "New York state must create a dedicated funding stream that covers the cost "of this service"
"I also believe," Cohen added, "That we, as legislators must make a commitment to aid the most vulnerable section of our society, our frail elderly.
Cohen said the state would recoup some of these funds as family members who would be forced to quit their jobs to stay home to take care of their loved ones would return to their jobs and resume paying taxes. Other savings would be made by keeping more seniors at home and not in senior citizens' facilities.
Cohen made his comments after a visit with Lewis Harris at the Forest Hills Community House, where Lewis is the executive director. For information on the FHCH's adult day care program, call (718) 592-5757.
HEALTH TALKS:Early March brings health care to the fore at the Selfhelp Clearview Senior Center at 208-11 26th Ave., Bayside (718-224-7888).

I also noticed on SXEphil's channel // http://youtube.com/sxephil his featured video shows its only rated 4 stars but the actual vid is rated 5 stars.. Need to fix that!ReplyDelete
I'm not able to change my featured video, I don't see any option to. I even reverted, changed the video, it successfully changed and swapped back and then it was back to the old one.ReplyDelete
haha YOUTUBE! get new developers, seriously. It's time for big league developers for a big league website.ReplyDelete
The updates are consistently clumsy, slowly implemented, and non-intuitive. The designs aren't seemingly based on anything other than putting as much content as possible on the page.
Also, nothing should ever be more than 2 clicks away! You should be able to get anywhere on the site in two clicks. Simplify, neaten, and design something that's based on how users actually use the site, PLEASE.
Please please please incorporate the psychological/human nature aspect into the layout. It's so important. You already have the community, let's repave these roads.
How do i try out the beta?ReplyDelete
so would the entire thing looking generic and ugly be one of the "lots of little issues" you mentioned? because to me that is the biggest problem of all at the moment.ReplyDelete
The design *must* have utility.ReplyDelete
* The subscribe button must be much larger, and of course YELLOW.
* The video + user stats must be at the top. Those are what people look at first and most. They want to see the stats and watch the video.
* No more scroll menus. Scroll menus are dreadful. The javascript "more" buttons are nice, which would then make the page longer to show more comments, or whatever, if the user desired.
* When I look at the new design, the first thing I see is the video. Great. That's excellent. But, I can't recall the user's channel I was on, nor the title of the video. That means I can't search for this great video I saw, but can't remember. The title and user should draw our eyes. Video+Title+User, most important on a profile page.
* There's a little grid toggle button, that is not a good thing. Do something different. Something with either better symbolism, or actual words.
* The headings need more clarity, they need to draw our eyes. I'm not getting that right now.
* I'm very excited about the overdo changes to the user profile, and they are absolutely needed, but I am worried because of the poor planning and implementation of past updates to YouTube.
Things that must stay:
* Referrals when you subscribe.
* statistics, statistics, statistics, subtle, clear.
* Top videos. I want to choose my top videos.
* Top favorites, I want to choose those too.
* For custom backgrounds I would LOVE to see dimensions on everything, so I didn't have to use the webdesigner plugin in Firefox.
* Thumbnails have gotta be bigger. It sucks, I know, they take up a lot of room, but most videos are clicked on b/c of the thumbnail and title. I can't read the title or see the thumbnail, and I'm very young with great eyes.
I'm just having a very difficult time differentiating the content. I think there need to be clearer divides.
Good luck, I look forward to more updates.
I would like to see the info box next to the video, video title/stats on top, and the "playlist, favorites" box as a multi-tiered horizontally running box directly underneath the featured video like so:ReplyDelete
blah1 blah2 blah3...
blah1 blah2 blah3...
blah 1 blah2 blah3...
All the headings should be either in one place, or formatted identically, so people know if they see this style, it's a heading. This should be so across the website.

I would like to get the new channel beta on my channel Blakesreviews.ReplyDelete
Great idea! Thanks again :)
You guys need to add a subscribe button asapReplyDelete
nice looks cool but yeah the most viewd,discussed etc should be there.ReplyDelete
but how do i be part of this?? hmm..
Hey guys if the goal of this redesign is to have the scrollable list of videos that play on the same page, i think a better idea would be to simpley keep to the original format and add a scroll bar underneath where the video is on the pre beta version. This would bring the awesome feature of being able to stay on that same page and play all the videos while still maintaing the already familer format we have all grown to love. Thanks for listingReplyDelete
Youtube Name: Ramillen
Commas youtube....Commas...ReplyDelete
I figure you've noticed that but...3023240 is a rather dificult number to read, which is why we use commas.
Take a note from college humor....after a user's video ends...immediately play the previous video. I end up spending hours on college humor because of that. It would be a feature I'd IMMEDIATELY implement on my channel.ReplyDelete
Channel thumbnails need to be bigger. We want people sticking around and clicking on these things. Also...you should include view numbers (with commas :-) ) as well as date posted. Maybe that means having larger thumbnails and three lines of information about each video...I don't think that would be the end of the world.ReplyDelete
How Do i Get the beta for my profile?ReplyDelete
- AnonymousApril 16, 2009 at 1:24 AM
I am liking the new YouTube Channels BETA, and when you get all of the stuff you mentioned fixed it'll be even better!ReplyDelete
But I think when a user clicks a video to view on the right hand side of the channel, it should open a new video watch player page, I don't like the idea of it playing on the channel, as this discourages users to comment.
But I really like the change, I hate people that hate change, its just like FaceBook everybody moaned, its just how it is users hate change, but YouTube your gonna have to change sometime or were just gonna be stuck with the same layout forever.

DONT CHANGE YOUTUBEReplyDelete
I don't like how subtle the "Subscribe" button is, for starters. I kind of liked that it was always orange and in the same place. All Subscribe buttons were the same.ReplyDelete
Well, not bad.ReplyDelete
Necessary Things (FOR ME):
-The NUMBER of videos that I/they have and the NUMBER of favourites.
-A box that shows how many SUBSCRIPTIONS. Of course, this may be an option that no one has used, but I would need to see that.
Things I Would LIKE:
-Yellow subscribe button.
-Total video views on channel stats.
-Animated/gif backgrounds.
Things I'd like to see..ReplyDelete
- The old yellow subscribe button
- A function where we can see all of the comments we've left on videos.
I'm liking the new channel page a lot. When first activated, it's pretty ugly and boring, but with good customization, it's looking pretty attractive. Like many have mentioned above, there are a lot of small things that need to be changed.ReplyDelete
-The Subscribe button needs to stand out more. Maybe let us customize the color of the button/text?
-We need the ability to show our "Uploads" only by default, instead of "All".
-Users should be able to comment on the viewed video right from the channel page. If YouTube wants users to access everything on one page, then they need to be able to comment as well.
-For partners, the InVideo ads are missing from the new channel videos.
Looking forward to the updates later today.
Call me old fashioned, but I want the yellow subscribe button back.ReplyDelete
The subscriber stats are TINY and where are all the honours to tell us if we're the most viewed today, or whatever? (Maybe you're just planning for the inevitable - we just won't be Most Viewed anymore.)
At the moment (looking at the Vlogbrothers channel) the box that shows other YouTube channels is way at the bottom. Ironically for the Vlogbrothers this box is used to highlight interesting members of the community, and it's just been shunted.
Right there with EcoGeek - commas, commas, commaaaaas.
What happened to the tabs for Most Viewed and Most Discussed videos? I always found those really interesting. Maybe other people just didn't use them, I don't know.
The thing I hate most about it all, though, is that the videos and the text are SO SMALL. I'm on a 13-inch laptop right now and I can barely read it. Beside the thumbnail, the top half of the space is used to list the user, view count and the title, and the bottom half is just empty. Use that space.
I'm not anti-change, and I'm really trying to like it ... I just don't. There was nothing wrong with the layout we had. I often find Apple make changes to their hardware and operating system that we didn't realise we needed until they show us, and then we're like "woah! Yes!" but with you guys, you take a good thing and mould it out of shape and it all just becomes inexplicably confusing to adjust to and understand. So solutions: give Steve Jobs the keys to YouTube, just for a week, and see what he does?
On this new layout, things are either the same, or they've got worse. You said you're incorporating user feedback (from the very small number of people that managed to find this link) but "the videos are too small" shouldn't be something that we have to tell you. You're the most popular video-sharing site online, so act like you earned that title and didn't just stumble to the top fumbling with features as you went.
Oh, and the downward scroll bars. What? No.ReplyDelete

i cant change my featured video, apart from that i love it, both on my main channel Barkmarc and barkmarcstudios.ReplyDelete
No, YouTube. Just no. This is a very low blow. Just keep it the bloody same! That's what we all like, so why change?!ReplyDelete
For channels with a lot of videos, ex vlogbrothers, the side scrollbar takes a long, long time to load them all, same for the grid view of videos. Should be broken up into pages. Or something.ReplyDelete
I hope the sort by functions come back.
I really friggen want to try out the new layer it looks awesomely amazing.ReplyDelete
Please change my channel :D
Everything is very small (text, videos ... VIDEOS, youtube, we're having to explain to you the importance of prominent VIDEOS), the sections of text in the channel description all blend together and need to be seperated and broken up somehow, the subscribe button needs to be yellow. The entire layout seems impersonal and bland.ReplyDelete
eww it's totally suck!ReplyDelete
Also, why on earth fix something that isn't broken? Maybe focus more time and energy on sorting out the faulty subscriptions box, or one of the hundreds of everyday glitches that youtube seems to house these days.ReplyDelete
youtube.com/super_seekrit is the link for people to change, for those asking.ReplyDelete
I wanna say I support EcoGeek's idea of auto-playing the next video, too. Genius.
Instead of having 'Playlists' as an enabled heading at the top, what if it showed the name of the playlist? So on mine for example it would say:
All / Uploads / fiveawesomeguys
That'd be pretty sweet. That way people can have categorised links to sections of their videos, too.
I'm not impressed. I totally agree with tyrannosauruslexxx, stop trying to fix things that don't need fixing. How about fixing the whole, "my subscriptions aren't showing up in my subscription box" thing, yeah? Way too many glitches on the site for you to go around adding more, I think. Fix the important stuff first, THEN embellish. Also, this new layout? Ugly.ReplyDelete
oh and being able to edit the profile live, seeing the changes happen in front of you - very cool.ReplyDelete
Just thought I would throw in some thoughts.ReplyDelete
charlie mentioned: "But I think when a user clicks a video to view on the right hand side of the channel, it should open a new video watch player page, I don't like the idea of it playing on the channel, as this discourages users to comment."
I have noticed this is having an effect. Overnight I had no new video comments and that simply never happens for me. I know there is the small text in the bottom right of the player module that says "View comments, related videos, and more" and also a click on the video once playing also gets them to the video's page, but I don't think this is nearly enough. At the least it would help to make the title text under the video link to the video page, but I don't think that's nearly enough either. Whatever is done, the comments situation needs serious attention, because there is lot to be said for the user experience to watch the video for the first time and have the comments right there under it to read and add to, even while still watching the video in some cases.
Also, as many have said, the subscribe button needs more prominence. My subscription level has also been way under the norm overnight.
I would give the ability to move modules around a high priority. Hopefully this time we will have full control over where they go rather than simply left or right in some arbitrary order.
I'll continue to test this out and add thoughts!
So I land on the channel page and the video starts playing. I watch it. Now I want to leave a comet. So I have to go to a whole new page... that loads the video again? I thought you guys were trying to make / save money? You've just doubled your bandwidth bill and doubled my download, which, in Australia is metered, effectively halving my potential to consume your product.ReplyDelete
I don't want to say it but it starts with F and rhymes with whale.
- AnonymousApril 16, 2009 at 5:03 AM
I think it's ok. The video player at the top is something like PopTub once had?ReplyDelete
When i was re-applying the layout / playing with it i found the lack of Opacity controls a bit annoying. Would be cool if they were there cause it allows for it to flow a bit with backgrounds that are textured / designed.
With reference to backgrounds... i found it a bit annoying that we can no longer link from an upload site as this restricts the quality.
Also i think Alex makes a good point about the playlists. I never incorporated named playlists but i know alot of channels that did and i think it would be alot more handy to have them at the top labelled rather than making people go playlists and then to the chosen one. Less time / more direct = People more happy?
It also gives more personal categorization as Alex pointed out.
I can't post links to my other channels in my channel description because youtube breaks them.ReplyDelete
I need a way to have a list of all my channels that people can subscribe to from my profile.
How can I get one of those new layouts?ReplyDelete
The video thumbnails are far too small.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousApril 16, 2009 at 5:27 AM
There are some AMAZING suggestions here, I'm going to ditto everythign EcoGeek and nerimon said, and also add that, for partners, the InVideo Ads are not displaying on the new profiles.ReplyDelete
Also clicking the videos should take you to the video page so people can comment.ReplyDelete
Please add the option to align your background and also the option to repeat it on the x and/or y axis - that'd be SWEET, plus, it's broken at the moment.ReplyDelete
I think the subscribe button needs to stand out more. I also don't like the idea of watching videos straight from that page as it decreases the amount of stars and comments that we get from people viewing the video from stumbling across your channel. I accidentally clicked on a video which took me to a video page but it'd be nice if the video name was a link to that page too. I do like the idea of having videos playing there, just give a link to the video page too so people can comment.ReplyDelete
I think the overall design is really good though and works well.
I just wanted to say that I LIKE the new layout.ReplyDelete
Couple of things need to be done still though...
As pointed out in the blog itself we desperately need commas. Oh and the ability to move things around.
On the other hand, I'd also love to see some sort of paging in the loaded videolist, as for some channels it is a huge list which slows down the page and playing video.
I don't get why people keep saying the video is small? To me the video seems just as big as before, maybe even bigger...
And even though I'm using a netbook with a 10" screen everything is perfectly readable, so I don't get why people say stuff is too small?
The thumbnails in the list are big enough to clearly see them to me, and making those bigger would only fill everything up even more.
I like the minimalism in it.
So far I really don't have any complaints apart from that what you have stated is a still-to-fix-issue.
Desired features I have is a (user chosen) maximum of vids to load in the list (why not base it on the quicklist function where extra videos are loaded as you advance in the list?) and some sort of transparency-setting for ppl with fancy backgrounds.
Oh I saw someone suggesting animated gif backgrounds... please don't do that. Just saying.
Keep up the good work, people hate changes and will always complain, but I'm liking the ones there are for now :)
(oh and regarding the subscribtionboxglitch everyone keeps going on about for months now... i've never noticed such glitch at all?)
Oh yes, one thing... Implement in-line commenting and rating! That I do really really want to see!ReplyDelete
It seems I did have more things I didn't like then I thought :p
- AnonymousApril 16, 2009 at 5:48 AM
The fact that clicking videos doesn't even let you goto their page is a problem as it disallows comments as Stephen and Charlie pointed out. I tried getting to a video page and found myself having to double click and open in a new window. New windows lose.. Can clutter desktop.ReplyDelete
With the new layout surely you guys can give a bit more freedom to partners and their banners by allowing more depth? It seems a tad pinched at the mo
I don't have any major complaints with the new layout so far. There are some minor things already mentioned, such as the videos playing in your channel instead of in a new window, that I'd like to see changed. Other than those minor things, though, I think YouTube has done a good job with this. I'll be interested to see what else is changed later.ReplyDelete
The information underneath my featured video isn't displaying correctly.ReplyDelete
Almost everything I wanted to say has been said, which I LOVE because it means it's not just me who feels this way.ReplyDelete
Your Subscribe button.. what on Earth? You don't seem to realise how iconic it was for some people. I know it sounds picky but honestly, if new users don't see that amidst the rest of the bland design, then how is our channel supposed to grow?
And of course, the more pertinent question; why bother? I'm seeing new problems with YouTube every day- subscription boxes, comment bugs, epic failure of the partners' "custom thumbnail" feature, and frickin' BOB everywhere. For once, just ONCE, can you please please PLEASE focus on the problems you already have?
You've fixed the z-index of the search suggestions, great!ReplyDelete
The search channel feature doesn't work yet - but just a suggestion, when the user is search in the channel, it should have a horizontal rule in the suggestions dropdown list, above the horizontal rule it should have suggestions for videos ON THAT CHANNEL with the keywords the user is typing, under the hr should be standard search suggestions.
-really hope you do this.
When you choose to play a video in HD, it stays the same size as it was before.ReplyDelete
YOU BETETR NOT BE DELETING EVERYONES ACCONUT OTHERWISE IM TAKING THIS SITUATINO FURTHER THIS IS JUST FUCKING CRAP ON EVERYONE ELSE ALL THE NON-POPULAR PEOPLE WILL GET DELETEDReplyDelete
i love youtube please dont do thisReplyDelete
This comment has been removed by the author.ReplyDelete
okay, so i switched to the new beta... when i click down my list of videos and play different ones, they all automatically have the annotations from my most recent video. fix, please?? also, the stuff in the sidebar that's now underneath the video is cut off. can you put in a scrollbar or something?ReplyDelete
I would say, if this get's more updated, make it so that people can choose to use it or not, like the beta is now.ReplyDelete
Is youtube really going to be putting up professional content over user generated content????? Also are the beta channels just going to be available for youtube partners or eventually everyone? Either doesn't really matter because I don't like the beta designs.ReplyDelete
Hi YouTube, this is Alex Negrete (KEEPTHEHEAT).ReplyDelete
I love the new channels, partner channels look amazing too with the extra features.
Here are some issues that you may know about already:
1. (This is for partners only) There needs to be a way to customize the Branding Box and the top ad side banners for partners. Since all of the editing is done directly through the layout I haven't found a way to change these pictures or the information in my branding box.
2. You should show awards on the channels... maybe with a cool new award symbol. I'm talking about when a channel is most viewed or most subscribed, etc. Mine is currently #96 most subscribed in directors and I think it would be cool to feature that somewhere.
3. I think even for regular users there should be a personal box or something to where a user makes his or her own box, then has the ability to title it whatever they want and fill it with information. Such as "Frequently Asked Questions," "What I Did Today," or "Upcoming Video(s)."
Keep up the good work!
Oh and also there is no more in-video channel ads on the featured channel video!ReplyDelete
Looking good YouTube. By the way, thanks for featuring me in your favorite channels. Like the others, i suggest there be a way to leave a comment directly below the player, that way comments are encouraged. Also, it would be nice to have a way to change the color of the subscribe button. I wouldn't mind having it yellow again so it stands out.ReplyDelete
Keep up the good work!
Here's another one... when you're editing friends and subscribers and how many rows they have, it doesn't work... it only works when you aren't in edit mode, and you have to refresh. Also, the placing of the friends and subscribers fluctuates. But still, epic job youtube, I LOVE THE NEW LAYOUT!!ReplyDelete
Okay, another issue... I can't figure out how to get a playlist ON the channel, even though in the grid layout, there's a whole part for playlists. Any help?ReplyDelete
I also find that you took out the 'search' feature. I know that you can simply use ctr+f and search though the titles, but the previous feature was good because it searched through the description and the tags as well.ReplyDelete
Please don't change the layout, Youtube staffers! It's horrible!ReplyDelete
My partner Friends have issues with the fact that links in the video section dont take it to teh videos and that the revenue could be affected for themReplyDelete
To be honest, I think it's okay, but it would be nice if people can still keep their old channels if they wish. You really need to get the "send message" button sorted quickly as well please, and could you please try and make the description box below the featured video more read-able, and if not - just forget the description altogether.ReplyDelete
Otherwise, I'm impressed, and will everyone stop complaining harshly about problems - it's a BETA, which is exactly why there will be problems.
It's not that good. Please please please just go back to the original.ReplyDelete
I think the new channel design is ugly and cramped. The "Uploads" section is so small that I can hardly read the video titles. And I REALLY don't like that you have to go to a separate page to view the comments, etc.ReplyDelete
I switched to the new layout and here are my beefsReplyDelete
1. yellow sub button.
2. "all" "favs" "playlists" along the side: no. Separate them like they were before. The clickable links at the top should read "videos" "favs" and "paylists" not "All" no one wants EVERYTHING on there.
3. Stats. We need these. Number of videos, number of comments, views, rating, etc etc all listed with the title and thumbnail. You may not think it, but they are important.
3. The title of the video on the main page NEEDS to be on top and bigger, or else no one will know what it is called.
4. If you want everything to be played on the main page player, you need to make everything else associated with it available too ie rating, commenting, favouriting etc etc. That is an integral part of youtube.
5. The video description: it is fine WHERE it is, but the fact that it's broken, doesn't scroll, doesn't wrap basically is USELESS right now needs to be fixed.
6. Boxes need to be moveable and colours need to be better defined when you're setting up your channel.
that's all I have for now.

I would like to be able to filter the recent activity. Rated, featured, uploaded, those sorts of things. This is more a feature request than a bug, but it would be quite useful.ReplyDelete
One other thing that bothers me is the amount of scroll bars. 3 on a page, plus the actual page's scroll bar, is too many.ReplyDelete
I think a lot of features are unnecessarily complicated...didn't see anything wrong with the old layout.
Would much rather see the sub box glitch fixed and browsing through multiple pages of comments through the 'view all' link easier. And the way that a later reply to one of the first 500 comments does not show as a reply is very annoying.
I like the new layout, but I'd like to remark the following:ReplyDelete
(mind you, I only scrolled through the comments, most of this has probably been said)
*You can't seem to change the featured video on you channel.
*Long video descriptions seem to get cut off underneath the featured video.
*The recent activity seems to double post sometimes. No idea what triggers it.
*In the personal info box thingy; is it me, or is it illogical to tick the boxes of the things you don't want to display? Maybe put "Hide" above the column of tick boxes?
*The favourite button underneath the featured vid doesn't work as it's supposed to. That is, the yellow speech balloon doesn't display properly. (Works properly on other people's profile page though.)
*Since we can now favourite videos on the channel page, maybe rating should be added too?
*The scroll menu for all the videos is nice (when it loads properly), but I also want to be able to view all the videos in a grid with larger thumbnails. Is that too much to ask?
That's all I can think of right now...
I'm not sure if this is known...but the channel description box is behaving very badly for me. Like, it shows the thing below the one I checked to show, but not the thing I checked to show, but only sometimes? Buggy...ReplyDelete
- AnonymousApril 16, 2009 at 10:02 AM
The new channel design is generic, cluttered, and lacking in usability.ReplyDelete
My biggest complaint is that, given what YouTube is, a person's videos should be the primary focus of their profile. Instead, this design offers a cramped scroll box with minuscule thumbnails and tiny text.
In my opinion, the ideal profile would allow one to browse the user's videos much like perusing a menu at a restaurant: Nice big pictures with legible text, allowing each selection its own space so that the viewer doesn't feel overwhelmed. It would be amazing if there was enough room even for the first couple lines of each video's description next to its thumbnail.
If you compare Yahoo!'s homepage to Google's it's clear why Google is the winner. It's simple and uncluttered, and it facilitates searching, whereas Yahoo! has too much junk that distracts and overwhelms. In the same way that Google.com does web searching justice, the new YouTube profiles should do video viewing justice. The current design does not accomplish this.
Let me just say ONE thing. You all hated the new channel design last time they updated... seems like you kinda miss it... huh? Think about it, IDIOTS!ReplyDelete
I feel that viewers would get more out of this new feature if some comments would show up under the video that is playing. It is rather difficult for people to understand taht they have to double click the video in order to comment. That would be a great fix!ReplyDelete
This comment has been removed by the author.ReplyDelete
I think our uploaded video thumbnails should have the right to roam free and be as big as they want to be. They just seem a little too cramped to the right of the featured video.ReplyDelete
Also, it might be the Brazilian in me, but I didn't see any way to pick which of my uploaded videos appeared next to the featured video.
Like the "Top Videos" feature we have now.
I upload a LOT of crap I wanna hide deep inside my channel.
You can't as simply get to the actual particular videos' page (with the comments)ReplyDelete
IMHO, a severe drawback of making all videos viewable from the channel page is that the feedback section (comments and button for rating) has effectively been hidden. While producers of, well, "traditional" content probably don't care about the comment section, I think it is such an important part of the community aspect of Youtube that it should be much more prominent than in the current design.ReplyDelete
Why is there no friends list???ReplyDelete
I don't see why you need to remove features when you should be improving the site. I agree with Lex you should focus on glitches like the subscriptions box, instead of trying to fix things that aren't already broken
- AnonymousApril 16, 2009 at 10:59 AM
I like the look but i didn't realize if you click a vid on the side it shows up on the same page? So you can only watch one channel at a time? :(ReplyDelete
It wont let me change, everytime I click to change it gives me a 500 Internal Server ErrorReplyDelete
Would love to be able to link multiple websites, not just one.ReplyDelete
Perhaps make http:// and www. recognisable in the 'about me' bit, since it'll be nice to explain what the links are.
Cool way to display comments on the featured video... have them scrolling along the bottom or something? but that'd be tedious... w/e.ReplyDelete
In Google Chrome, "Shockwave Flash" Plug-in crashes and favourite videos can not be displayed on homepage.ReplyDelete
All users videos should be the default list of videos down the right hand side. Thumbnails and font are too small. Favourites and Playlists should be in a separate box.
I agree with previous comments, how it is a shame that comments aren't displayed when avideo is on the users homepage. Comments are a very important part of the YouTube community.
May just be me, but I can't rate the videos on the homepage either.
Neat design, but there are some flaws and bugs that need to be fixed.
Good Luck
HEY i have somthing to say about the new profile layout the links don't work know more and I can change the description how does it workReplyDelete
i cant edit the settings because they wont save. therefore i have gone back. also will we have backgrounds for the new youtube channels? in addition, can we have built in designs for youtube backgrounds, like weebly and freewebs offer for websites.ReplyDelete
I like the basics of the new design. I like how the background can be fiddled around with when you make your own theme. But, when i have tried to use an image in the background, it hasn't seemed to work.ReplyDelete
Good luck with all the changed Youtube!
I'd like to say that I like the redesign so far. There are a few things I'd like changed but you've already addressed those in this post (the post, not the comment) so it seems like you're already on it. Mainly being able to sort videos and move modules around.ReplyDelete
It would also be nice if we could rename the 'about me' or 'channel description' headings.
On YouTube I am Aaroncast86.
Oh, another bug I noticed. When I edit the settings with information like channel views, subscriptions, about me, and channel description if I check a section then it doesn't display that section. It'd make more sense to show sections checked instead of showing sections that are unchecked. As it is now, it hides any sections that are checked.ReplyDelete
I'd really like to have the links again, the links aren't working or showing up as actual links :DReplyDelete
Another 'bug' with background images. It seems like I can upload them but then they don't actually display on my channel. I'm using Firefox, not sure if that's the cause or not.ReplyDelete
MAJOR ISSUE. Switching to your new channel design has made my channel un-viewable. It displays a 550 Internal Server Error. HELPReplyDelete
Another bug: When I select 2 or 3 rows for my Subscriptions on my channel page it claims to save my preference but continues to only display one row. The rows with subscribers work fine, it's just with my subscriptions that the number of rows wont change.ReplyDelete
I like the layout but cant change the featured video on the profile page.ReplyDelete
The rating thing is always stuck on 4 stars while I can go to someones video and it has been rated 5 stars that needs fixing as well.
UPDATE: My previous note about background images is incorrect. When I go to my channel page (http://www.youtube.com/Aaroncast86) the background DOES appear, it's only while in 'edit' mode that it doesn't show up.ReplyDelete
MAJOR ISSUE. Switching to your new channel design has made my channel un-viewable. It displays a 550 Internal Server Error. HELP. I have no channel nowReplyDelete
Is anyone able to switch to this new Channel Design?ReplyDelete
how to switch to new design? does account type matter? are clickable links gone?ReplyDelete
- AnonymousApril 16, 2009 at 11:47 AM
I like the new design a lot better than most people here I see. I like the ability to change the design.ReplyDelete
I agree though that the font in a lot of places is too small. Small fonts are really fashionable in the Web 2.0 craze and have been. But there's still such a thing as too small, especially with the increasing popularity of netbooks.
The other minor issue I have right now is that I have links to my other social network-pages (twitter, myspace, etc.) in my description, and they're not converted to clickable links anymore.
Other than that it was really easy to change to design and I'm pleased with the result.
On a side note, I don't really get the new bulletin thingy, even in the old design. But I'm thinking, integrate with twitter in stead of reinventing the microblog? As soon as a video is available after uploading it's automatically tweeted and/or when I tweet it shows up in my activities?
Keep up the good work,

Not a bug but really don't like that I have to open a new link (and reset the video) to leave a comment in a channel view. That's a pest. The comments are the thing that make youtube a community!ReplyDelete

New shiny features won't solve the old little glitches that Youtube had. It may distract for a bit, while you're trying to sort out the glitches in the new features, but soon enough everyone will be settled in and the old glitches will once again be apparent and begging for attention. AGAIN. Just stop avoiding them and go and fix them, please? I'm sick of sub-box fail.ReplyDelete
I will be a fan of the new layout provided you can make modules see-through, so you can see a background picture behind everything.ReplyDelete
Also, don't you think it looks a lot more complicated than the classic channel design?
transparent background ...ReplyDelete
I have no "Subscribe" button on my channel.ReplyDelete
I know it's been said, but it bears repeating:
Videos are what it's all about. It seems like you're trying to delude users into thinking less about videos by making them tiny and pushed off to the side as a footnote.
Other than that, and the things others have mentioned, I like the new design. Good luck working out the kinks.
All right I know this is a beta version but I am a web designer and programmer and we just changed the look of the online curriculum and we IRONED OUT the bugs BEFORE making it live or beta.ReplyDelete
So many things are wrong with this. Change is good I get this but first I read a lot of people wanting the Yellow subscribe button back.
That is great but I just switched my channel and my question is: WHERE IS MY SUBSCRIBE BUTTON?
I know I haven't made a video in a while and not many people subscribe to my videos but I still want the subscribe button.
Not only it isn't yellow anymore but it simply is not there at all.
Plus the banner where the thumbnail image and channel name is, as a designer this upsets me, POOR USE OF WHITE SPACE.
Don't get me wrong I love white space, when it is used for a purpose.
But now there is a huge gap with nothing under my channel name and the all uploads, etc. links
And where you list the uploads favourites thumbnail vids and titles... I take it a scrollbar can be needed but the size of the box ends up cutting the title of the video to the point that you would need a horizontal scrollbar as well. WHICH IN MY BOOK IS NOT A GOOD THING.
I could live with the vertical if the entire content of the area actually showed but having to scroll horizontally as well, that is just plain stupid.
And COMMAS for view numbers would be great.
And where is the more link for the description of the video? And it seems that the text has been cut off as well.
This may be just a pick design thing but on the information where hobbies and movies are shown... why is the text indented rather than aligned?
And some have more indent than others, KEEP IT CONSISTENT PLEASE! Meaning from a designer point of view the text example movies should line up with the title, etc.
I am switching back until you get your act together and get some REAL DESIGNER INPUT to really better youtube.
So how does one try this new channel layout?ReplyDelete
I would like the channel beta to be put on my channel: Youtube.com/user/bobandfredpuppetReplyDelete
I think I like the new channel design, but:
*All the videos that you choose for my channel are rated 4, when they're not. :)
*My subscribers box will only have one row, even when I click three.
*You could put a section at the bottom of the channel video that says "Read Comments" which, as the title suggests, shows the comments, to make the Youtube experience!
Thanks alot guys,

One thing about the new profiles I don't like is that if you click a video in someones profile it plays in the profile page and you don't get the video page.ReplyDelete
This makes it much harder to comment/rate etc. Something I probably like even more than the actual video ^_^
I'm also not a big fan of the many scrollbars on the profiles. I think it would be better if the whole profile was just a big longer.
I am not sure about the design yet, I try to like it, but it's too new to make a statement about it.
How do I switch to the beta channel?ReplyDelete

youtube.com/jtgolant <-- sexily customized wootwoot
I just realized something when going to a different channel with the new layout. I can't easily pull a link to a specific video so that I can post that video somewhere else on the internet. (i.e. Twitter, Facebook, etc.) I get an embed link but I'm looking for the standard /watch?v= link.ReplyDelete
Hm... Annotations have disappeared on some videos w/ the new layout on...Also is the only way to watch a person's videos with the new layout ON his/her channel?ReplyDelete

so i miss goin onto peoples pages and sorting there videos into most viewed most recent most commented
thats missing
its just a quick way to find videos others find interestting to join quick convisations

Hi YouTube,ReplyDelete
I'm overall generally pleased with the beta profile page.
But you really need to fix the situation with the fact that there is no link to send personal messages to users with the new beta page.
Also on my old page it used to display two little playlist video boxes at the end, they were originally titled my vlog. But this option doesn't seem to be there for this profile; I would like if it was.
As for the backgrounds on the channel: You seem to be only accepting very small background images, and they don't look good at all, because you only give the option to have it displayed once or repeated several times as tiles. It would be better if you could either stretch the image out to fit the entire profile page or be able to upload bigger images or both.
I'd like a separate Favorites module box, I like to let my subscribers know what sort of videos I like watching, since this is an online community after all.
I agree with the most repeated things such as; featured videos change on the page instead of bringing you to the actual video page where commenting, rating and video responding takes place; this is very annoying.ReplyDelete
Also I want to re-enforce a couple of points which have only been mentioned a few times:
-I don't like the way links are now split on the "about me" part.
-I don't like the scrollers on the comments or recent activity modules, and on the videos [beside the featured video] there should be less videos because bigger tumbnails and text, and it shouldn't have a scroller, just have pages to flick through.
-I want to be able to chose what modules I want on my channel and where they can go [up,down,left,right.]
-Small Tumbnails and text = bad.
-Big yellow subscribe button needed.
-I'm not sure if it's only me, but I lost my background image when I changed from the old to the new? And then it wouldn't work, not sure what's happening there.
I think that's all! lol!
But if I have anymore I'll be sure to comment again :]
It doesn't say the number of videos or favourites when click to view all. I know this sounds random, but I would really, really like the number of videos and favourites. I'm sure it can't be hard for you, you had it on the last channel layout. Thanks if you can do this!!!ReplyDelete
The Subscribe button should be Yellow!! And the video thumbnails need to be biggerReplyDelete

Annotations aren't showing up on the featured video.ReplyDelete
Poor design worse than what we have already. If you're going to change things at least make it an improvement.ReplyDelete
Need Channel TransparencyReplyDelete
Call me old-fanshioned, but NO.
I saw the beta on a channel I go to regularly and to be 100% brutally honest, I immediately disliked it the second I laid my eyes on it. I hate it. "YouTube Channels 1.0" is miles -nay, LIGHTYEARS better. I do not - repeat, NOT want to sign up for this beta, as I do not like it one bit. (if this actually goes out of beta and is applied to every channel on YouTube, I am out of here)
Oh, and while I'm in a bad mood from this, let's move onto another YouTube-related issue that's got my attention: View Count Freezing.
One video I've seen out there is immensely popular amoung people like me who like to keep the "You" in "YouTube" and not this so-called "HuluTube" - the view count has been frozen at around 12,201 in order to not let it rise up the Most Viewed list.. care to explain that to us? If it a "bug/glitch", then why didn't it appear earlier until now? Why has it just appeared? Why don't you put aside the aesthetic upgrades until this "bug" is fixed? Because right now, stuff like frozen view counts is much, MUCH more important than a new look.
--youtube.com/user/Neotails8762 <-- 1.0 forever.
The channel itself doesn't look too bad. I personally really like it. Of course, a lot of the stuff people have mentioned so far can be done to make it better, but personally, I want to be able to put my playlists in an order for the playlist bar. I have 20+ playlists and they're numbered, but I made some before others that aren't in numerical order. It should easily be possible to give us that option.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousApril 16, 2009 at 1:37 PM
I can not see the "About Me" or "Channel Description" on my channel, even though I have the box checked.ReplyDelete
Also, I agree with the others that said they want the old subscriber button back. It is a trademark of the site (it's almost like if you change the logo for YouTube). I also think that it's design compliments the new channel layout quite nicely.

P.S. I like that you are taking suggestions from us, we've got strong opinions that I think are very useful to you and will save you a lot of negative feedback later. :)

I like the way everything lays out quite nicely. EXCEPT... with the channel layout. I always liked having it personalized with photos and backgrounds, and creative things, that gives the viewer an idea of what they are going to be viewing.ReplyDelete
please make an option so our channels can also be on the old view when this new view offically comes out!ReplyDelete
How about a play all button on the video player like a playlist for your vids and favourites!ReplyDelete

One thing I forgot to say before;ReplyDelete
every video i see on the new channels are all rated 4 stars even though some arn't
just a bit strange.
Looks fucking horrible.ReplyDelete
Hi i'm actully quite impressed with the new layout, I think it has a lot of potential. However I feel the Subscribe button should go back the the nice Gold/Yellow colour, and for some reason where it says background image: it just says delete and basically wont let me use a background image. My channel is http://www.youtube.com/user/DannyReddy17ReplyDelete
created an accout just to say this -i like the channel layout, and the problems i noticed have been shown- cant change featured video, background is'nt as visable as it was ect, but it has good potentialReplyDelete
I have tried putting a picture as the background of my channel and it doesn't appear afterwards =S not even when I have clicked repeat image !!! However apart from that I love the new layout =]ReplyDelete
The channel I tried having the picture as the background was:
Hey, I love the new layout. I have customized mine to the highest level, but have a bug to report.

Any ideas? http://www.youtube.com/Jrrath incase you want to see the bug.ReplyDelete

In the boxes on the side with Uploads and Favorites there's no way to revert back to the default once you select "see all."ReplyDelete
Also, I'd like a more obvious way to get to the comment section when viewing a video. Comments are what it's all about with user videos.
And I'd like to see a way to make the Wrappaper transparent by degrees to better show any wallpaper better we've posted.

Obviously, as you are aware- put that bright yellow subscribe button back. Make it so that people can comment on the video from your home page. I would like whatever your title is(director, guru, etc) to be added and the ability to move modules.ReplyDelete
so far it looks fresh but i wish the texts are bigger, more colors to chose from, i want the subscribe button to show even if were offline.ReplyDelete
links on the description box isnt clickable. more customization pls.
thumbnail should be alot bigger.

- When you select a video from someones favorites and someones playlist it says embedding disabled by request

OK. Here are my issues:ReplyDelete
- The info that was once in the "sidebar" is now underneath my video on my channel, but not ALL of it is displayed! People cannot read all of the information I put in there unless they click on the link to see the comments.
-I also do not like that you don't automatically see the comments/cant automatically comment or rate, etc.
-Thumbnails are too small (yes, i know that's been addressed multiple times)
-basically, all of the video information is too small. that's the main point of our channel, to see our videos, right?
Things I do like:
-I like that the channel takes up more space on the web browser.
-I like the IDEA of being able to watch all videos on the channel page, just don't like that comments aren't allowed from there.
- AnonymousApril 16, 2009 at 4:14 PM
Gah! I can't have a bookmarked link to a page with all the channel's videos listed, but no video actually playing. ANNOYING!!!ReplyDelete
BUG REPORT!ReplyDelete
- Links in the section above the about me section are broken and are not underlined
the one problem i have with the profile beta is that you can't click on the title of the featured video to go to its video page. that would make life a lot easier.
I liked how it would show the videos, before, the ratings, the views, dated added, and in order.ReplyDelete
I sorta just realized that i cannot message anyone through the new layout. there is no send message, share channel, groups, To be honest, i hate this new layout, i just hate it.ReplyDelete
There is no playlist link, plus, i like the way when you'd click on all videos, it would take you to a page. And i really hate how you did the favorites thing, i liked it the old way better. Just choose an option (like how myspace did) so people can do the old layout, and new layout. And bring back URL UPLOADED backgroundsReplyDelete
There's no search bar in the uploads section.ReplyDelete
Overall, though, I like the design.
BUG REPORT!ReplyDelete
Can't change featured video!
BUG REPORT:ReplyDelete
The way how it shows the videos stinks, doesn't say how long it is, smaller icon, no ratings, no where it says. I really liked the old layout better, big time. Some changes on YouTube were good (like how they made the favorites icon smaller, and etc) I liked that change, and some changes on youtube (like removing url backgrounds) are not good. I like the OLD layout better, and just leave it that way, or make an option.ReplyDelete
BUG: When you click on the title of the video it won't send you to the video pageReplyDelete
Oh another thing! I hate when you click on the video, it stays at the channel, I want to go to the video it self!!ReplyDelete
I also hate how the subscribe button, where they put it at, it seems unnoticeableReplyDelete
- AnonymousApril 16, 2009 at 4:47 PM
A few things...ReplyDelete
--I know this has probably been mentioned already, but every featured video is only showing up as being rated 4 stars, while many of them are 5.
--Please make the video title a direct link to the video rather than having that "View comments, related videos, and more" link. It's a lot less confusing.
--Also, statistics need to be moved to the top of the channel and be made bigger and more noticeable.
I do have one piece of positive feedback, however: I like how you can now watch HD videos right on the channel page. Keep that.
When your profile and you try to use the search bar when you press enter it just refreshes the pageReplyDelete
Sorry, it's horrible. Stick with the scrolling comment bar though :DReplyDelete
Also, bring back the feature where you can click an arrow to browse through the subscribers, friends, etc.
i love the old ones bettter! stop freakin changin everything!ReplyDelete
When I try to change my account over it gives me this errorReplyDelete

I am merely posting to again join the consensus who do not like this new layout. It is far too difficult to scroll through those tiny video listings for other user videos, the functionality is not near as clean an organized as in the older layout. The benefits that once existed for original content creators are now simply gone.ReplyDelete
Let's hope that the voices of the users aren't simply dismissed.. though I tend to assume that will be the case. If it is, then I hope someone will come up with a viable YT alternative to cash in on the disgruntled remains.
Personally, the more I look at the new channel design the more I like it.ReplyDelete
@nerimon's suggestion of displaying the title of a playlist like 'fiveawesomeguys' instead of just 'Playlist' ... I think this is a great idea.
It'd also be nice to see the word 'Uploads' replaced with 'Videos' or perhaps made customizable where we can write in our own word.

I think the font should be a little bigger, or at least we should have some options to select how big do you want ur font.ReplyDelete
I do like that you can edit the page right in your own channel and see the live changes.
I don't like that when you look at all the videos from a user you have to scroll thru them...
There are people that have more then 150 and it would be really annoying and tiresome to find a video in a scroll list.
As of now that's all!
The top box of my profile has stopped loading. It shows the text of my featured video, but that is the only thing it is loading for me. I can't click edit or on Show Videos Only.ReplyDelete
And it's stopped letting me update my bulletin
First I would like to say I like the new channel design, but there is one MAJOR problem with it that I don't see that anyone has mentioned.ReplyDelete
Me being a YouTube partner, I make all of my money from advertisements on my videos. And I know you guys are aware of the fact that you can not get an advertisement on the video in your channel right now and I understand that, but did you guys forget to think what this is going to do to the advertisements on the side of partner videos?
Now that people can watch every single video from your channel page, it is going to decrease are amount of revenue as people are no longer going to need or want to go view the videos on a different page, which means we wont receive money as the ads will not be viewed.
My recommendation for fixing this? Partners can either enable in video advertisements such as commercials to play on their channel only, or create a box we can put on our channel with an advertisement in it if we are a partner.
I hope you read my idea as I think many partners will be displeased with this one thing.

Keep the old layout, and just tweak the design.
I agree with JoeDTrick when he mentions advertising will be affected. The solution for that is to resize the ads.
Problem here is, there should be a clear-cut area for all the 'videos' uploaded by a person.
This will increase each video's attractivity, making people more likely to watch another one of the respective channel's videos.
Hard to explain, but basically, new layout decreases incentive to watch another one of that channel's videos, resulting in a loss of advertising revenue.
I guess google just seems to be happy that they're doing well in the market right now, outperforming the average, but taking this maneuvre is a surefire way to lose out.
I HATE, LOATHE, DESPISE the new complication to posting a comment. I like viewing podcasts from a channel's home page, but then I have to go to the old page to post a comment, so WHY BOTHER???ReplyDelete
Hmm, I think it's pretty ugly :/ Not a big fan. Why can't you leave this as a choice instead of changing everybody's channel??ReplyDelete
Why has it been made more difficult to find individual videos and comments?ReplyDelete

Why single payer
July 18, 2014
Times Argus
Although not his intention, George Malek's commentary ("Reallocating health care costs," July 14) was an excellent case on why we need publicly funded universal care.
Mr. Malek, the executive director of the Central Vermont Chamber of Commerce, stated, "Some employers offer platinum health care plans, others no plan at all." This has been a persistent problem with market-based health insurance. The so-called free market does not treat businesses equally, especially small businesses. Small businesses are forced out of offering coverage or, if they can afford it, use plans subpar to larger businesses. Never mind that employees are locked to jobs or unable to start businesses due to health insurance worries.
Malek wrote that the "financial void will be split between the rationing of care and additional taxes." In case Malek did not know this, we already have both. We possess the world's most effective means of rationing access to health care: economics. The 50 or so million uninsured Americans testify to its effectiveness, the insured footing the bill through higher insurance premiums and taxes. Although the Affordable Care Act (aka Obamacare) may mitigate these shameful conditions, it will not end them.
The best case, however, Malek offers for single-payer was when he wrote that "as the cost to the consumer goes down, utilization goes up. If it's free, take two." First, single-payer is not free. Secondly, what is wrong with a health care system that all citizens (as opposed to consumers), regardless of their employment status, can use? Is not the job of a health care system to cure people?
Single-payer eliminates the inherent discrepancies of the insurance model which drives up the inequality and rations access to health care by cost. What better rationale for single-payer?
