Cosmic Panda - A New 2011 Layout For YouTube

[Scoinsoffaterocks]

I actually liked it (except the channel)...

[DjDizasterHTID]

i fucking hate this new 2011 channel lay out design pfffff fuck

[Renew3D]

Remember how much people complained before about the layout that came out before this? I actually think this is an improvement compared to that.

You'll get used to this new one too despite all the whining you do... mark my words.

[shanedawsentv3]

yea they took down the good one for the oe im using ight now

[xoxkissablebeautyxox]

First time i saw it i thought OMG what have they done....But watching this video has helped me get used to it more and i will be playing with the new loyout to get my channel as i want it to be over the next few days.

I want to be able to change my channel colour though....Like the grey bit.... It looks alittle odd to me.

[evilunixuser1]

bad news i heard its gonna happen sometime before mid 2012

[chadro85]

@evilunixuser1 it just happend now in 2011 D: ( 12/01/11 )

[Tosakamaru]

It sucks, only thing I can see that would make it decent is if they added an transparent option

[colligan]

@Tosakamaru yeah, a lot of people don't like this

[madisonmiley123]

Why can't WE have a say in this? It's just going to be like what happened with the BETA channel if this happen. You can't do alot of things...

[colligan]

@madisonmiley123 the /cosmicpanda does have a interface to make comments - i'd recommend you use it ;-)

[colligan]

@madisonmiley123 make your comments at /cosmicpanda

[dumassdslxc]

i tried it and the only reason i watched this video was how to get off the new utube :/

[Irokangi]

I FUCKING HATE IT. THIS IS A PLOY TO KEEP PEOPLE FROM FINDING THE INFOMATION THEY WANT

[colligan]

@Irokangi really? youtube doesn't want people to find what they're looking for?

[Irokangi]

@colligan exactly this is just another way to dumb down youtube, and make it more kid friendly! kids shouldnt be on the damn internet anyways!

[TheOrangeloveant]

I hope they give us a choice this time

[littlegalah]

cosmicpanda sux

[Toby99able]

news more work.

[Banziafy]

You cannot see your subscribers, subscriptions, friends, you cannot add friends, send messages, comment on channels, or edit channels properly! IT SUCKS!

[graphicgratitude]

@Banziafy

I hear ya.

During my trial all I did was look for a way out.

[M0VYGURU]

Anyone heard a launch date for full release?

[LedZepplinFan1000]

how do you send pm when cosmic panda comes into affect???

[colligan]

@LedZepplinFan1000 don't know at this point. they are adding stuff all the time so we'll see if that gets added later - or is simply killed.

[LedZepplinFan1000]

@colligan because for it to be youtube people need to be able to send pm's ...

[barriodeloco1]

WTF dey tryna make this Twitter or some crap ?

[sIGHTcss]

PLEASE FUCK OFF

they'r fucking youtube up again

[SnowLeopardStudioz]

I hate it!!! It's awful!!

[xPeRiLProductions]

I like the look and feel of it, but it's leaving out many key features that we are using at the minute.

[timishenk]

Any idea how long it will take for this "sneak peek" to become the normal YouTube?

[thausel]

At least YouTube is letting us know of its changes. I don't know if this will be better or not. I'll have to wait and see.

[RyanBobertson]

i hate it

[compellingtv]

@colligan Yeah notice is nice. Looks like they've disabled links in channel info :-( thank god video description links are still active - the whole friend/subscribers removal could have implications for Tube Toolbox etc. Any thoughts on that one?

[Kimiko1005]

How did you get your video to feature? Mine says I need a "valid video ID"?

[meamberme]

@Kimiko1005 @colligan - Valid question: What is a "valid video ID?"

[svinehunden]

WOW Google sucks. Thanks for the video. Good and informative.

[colligan]

@svinehunden Not quite sure how this makes Google suck but I'm glad it was informative ;-)

[svinehunden]

@colligan The only reason you can't see all the subscriptions of a channel is to prevent people ripping the list. Preventing this makes it possible for Google to sell this info and make money but makes it a hell to set up a new channel. Unless you pay Google... That's why Google sucks. Soon "friends" will disappear too because they can't control it. They did try for almost 12 hours some months ago.

[meamberme]

@svinehunden @colligan Can you set up a new channel within a single account (e.g., keyword-named channel dedicated to a separate focus of your business) .. or do you have to come in with a new email and different form of your name?

[REDRUMkostas]

@colligan from where do i find my friends on youtube on cosmic panda? icant find them!

[compellingtv]

Wow. UI looks nice and cool usability improvements, but gee have they screwed over all us guys with nice channel designs.

[colligan]

@compellingtv I guess it's the eternal optimist in me but I'm kinda thrilled they gave us some warning on this one.
