Youtube Re-design in the works focusing on Google+ & Subscriptions

Youtube has been morphing over the past few months with numerous design itterations and most recently Cosmic Panda, but the design team has hit a sweet spot and are now testing a new site-wide re-design. The focuses looking forward is simplicity, content subscriptions, integration with other Google properties and a slick new design — but the biggest impact of it all will be a tight integration with Google+.

Real life Battlefield defibrillator killing spree -- (Video)

You’d better watch out Freddiew because somebody’s made an FPS video, and it’s awesome (and very original I might add). We have all tried (and maybe succeeded) in killing enemies with defibrillator in Battlefield, but we know it would never be as awesome as this. I mean killing someone with a defibrillator in a game is rare, but this is just ridiculous!

'Reality hits you hard bro' gets auto-tuned -- (Video)

It’s been a while since we got ourselve a good auto-tune youtube hit by the Gregory Brothers gang, otherwise known everyone else as Schmoyoho — not that the ‘reality hits you hard bro’ guy needed the song to get the views. When a powerline falls onto your car and there’s a dude stuck in his car behind you while you’re on the news, well… it’s time to shine!

Sean Klitzner gets 10,000 subscribers, thanks them all in 11 hour video

Klitzner is a children’s book writer and the guy who gets para-saved in the latest Slim Jim ad. Hey, he may not be Randy Savage but he’s obviously popular enough to warrant 10,000 people clicking on his subscribe button. He may be an ordinary guy, but who actually sits down for 11 hours and thanks them all personally?  Sean Klitzner, that’s who!

Youtube gets an awesome new re-design (how to enable it)

Youtube has just announced that a new user experience has creeped into the Beta labs on Youtube. It’s essentially a visual overhaul with no real features added, but the way the new layout works is really slick, and feels a lot like the mobile site, with larger buttons. The new player is really nice also, and the entire site seems to have been blacked out — more screenshots after the break, and how you can enable it!

Today, it cost people $2.99 to rent "Friday" music video on Youtube

We have all heard the verbal diarrhea of Rebecca Black and I can imagine it wasn’t a pleasurable experience for anyone. The internet criminals over at Ark Music Factory are responsible for bringing dozens of auto-tuned Justin Bieber/Miley Cyrus clones into the world and spreading them all over Youtube like rancid mayonnaise. Don’t get us wrong — we don’t hate these kids, in-fact we really respect them for having the guts to create music and put it in-front of the internet — the people we despise is Ark Music Factory — not because they’re using kids as physical goods, but that they have no idea how the internet works.
