In a blog post written yesterday, YouTube announced that the look of its website will be undergoing some changes in the coming months.
To showcase the redesign to users and obtain critical feedback, YouTube has also elected to provide a sneak preview of what the 'Videos' page will soon look like.
When compared to the current video browsing page, the changes seem to be very subtle, but the folks at the most popular online video community are hoping that it [...]

Flock version 1.0 was just released Friday after a succesful debut at TechCrunch 40. This feature loaded browser has met with moderate success this year, and this version adds social networking functions to an already feature rich browsing experience.
I covered Flock version 0.9 for ReadWriteWeb back in September and it was greatly enhanced over their previous version. Yesterday's full release is an even more refined example of a great browsing tool, but is it enough to put Flock in the [...]

On a slow news day I stumbled across a great find at the Museum of modern betas (MOMB). Tubecaset.tv is an Internet video/TV startup in alpha testing. This sexy little development essentially grabs content from other sites like YouTube and my old buddy Dmitry at Veoh and layers an user interface atop the content. The simplicity and elegance of the site are quite grabbing, and best of all anyone can enjoy it now.
From a writer's perspective I was excited [...]

So Bubble 2.0 isn’t news to anyone’s ears any longer. Talk of it is downright tired and redundant. So what? How 'bout we look it over once more, for kicks, m’kay?
The New York Times today published - on its front page, above the fold – a story delineating some points that back some solid speculation of an impending bursting (the bad kind) of the party balloon that is Silicon Valley and all its derivatives. I think they’re worth taking a [...]

Back in July, amidst the controversy of copyright lawsuits, Google hinted at the development of a video recognition technology for YouTube that would help the curb the posting of copyrighted material onto the video community.
Originally planned for a September release, the antipiracy tool has finally made its way onto YouTube, according to Webware.
This new tool, however, is not a completely automated process and, without the help of content owners, may not be able to catch 100% of the copyright [...]

Today, Michael Arrington has suggested at TechCrunch that MySpace's developer platform will launch as soon as next week, most likely coinciding with the Web 2.0 Summit taking place in San Francisco from October 17-19. Not only that, but developers will reportedly have the ability to serve their own advertising within applications and keep 100% of the revenue, much like Facebook!
It was first mentioned that MySpace would introduce a developer platform back in June, when MySpace founder Chris DeWolfe told Financial [...]

Not too long ago, I discovered that YouTube had quietly added a new page explaining new video units with embedded AdSense ads that bloggers and website owners could implement to earn additional revenue.
At that time, however, there was no link for users to add this feature to their account and there was no mention of it within the pages at the AdSense website.
Today, video units have been officially launched by Google, complete with an example and new informational videos on [...]

In the spirit of making it an ever more leisurely exercise to go to college without, you know, actually going to college, the University of California at Berkeley has begun “uploading video recordings of course lectures to YouTube.”
What started several years ago with the publication of course syllabi and other electronic documentation, freely available to all who might wish to learn for the sake of learning (I believe the first widely publicized delivery of such material was the debut [...]

Magnify.net is rolling out a new video curation platform today. Magnify is a peer driven video broadcast platform for individuals, businesses and groups. Magnify currently has 10 million page views per month and contains roughly 15,000 content channels. This latest upgrade essentially turns every Magnify user into a self contained content curator of personal and web-wide video. This latest upgrade contains a customization kit for easily creating and branding channels, finding and integrating Web video and analyzing visitor stats and [...]
