I just noticed Google Video had a redesign. It looks like they’ve taken a few cues from YouTube. The comments, the flagging, the related videos — it’s as if Google is going to take everything good about YouTube and put it into Google Video.
There should be a Google Video/Youtube mind meld. The socialness of YouTube + the full resolution AVI downloads and skip-to-anywhere player of Google Video = social video awesomeness.
That’s weird, I’m still seeing the old format. Are you sure this isn’t some internal thing that isn’t public yet?
How would I have access to something internal?
I think what Google does is test stuff on about .01 percent of a randomly selected userbase to get some real user data on potential new designs. They then use this data to drive their product design and decision making processes.
WHOAAAA !!! FANTASTIC !!!
