Youtube’s new format

If you haven’t heard of it yet, Youtube had a quick trim, an “update”, if you would like to call it that. Basically what they did was to turn Youtube into a Facebook clone. They removed the Rating (Stars) system, and said that it was not working. They replaced it with the tried and tested Facebook “like/unlike” system. They also trimmed out most of the texts on the side of the videos, you’ll have to click on buttons to view information about the video. All in all, I couldn’t care less about the change as long as the videos are still there – but I believe this is a strong sign of Facebook’s current reign on the web.
