   hi duncan -

   the referral stats have always been part of the display so just a new display there, not new info.

   one additional note about the new sharing changes - they are now also contextual to the logged in user, so for example, if you use Digg a lot but not Facebook, Digg will be elevated to a persistent top-level display instead of Facebook.

   There are some other small changes around the site but i’ll let you and the users find them or just wait for our post on the YouTube blog

   They probably are leveraging on Google’s expertise for all those site statistics and referrals.

   Wow… all I need to do is add tabs and statistics to a website to get an article written by TC about it? (running into the basement)

   haha Jon - funny…

   for anyone actually USING youtube to generate traffic and earn revenue (like me) - the stats are cool, the new interface is nice too - not sure if it’s all that big of news though.

   They’re devoting exactly 25% of the screen captured area to the video, excluding the video controls, if anyone was curious.

   One more little change:

   Now selected videos have the option to view either “Standard” or “High” quality version. This option is not new, but in the past it was displayed in a text notice right underneath the video, now it is in the shape of a small TV icon.

   For instance, go to YouTube home page now, click on the “Jennifer Connelly in charity: water” video, and right under the video player you will see a little TV icon, click on it, you get the option.

    this layout is so ugly. it was good the way it was clean and efficient. no huge buttons cluttering your screen. is there an option to keep it the way it was?

    Finally, a tool for the producers. Wonder how many people watched these videos of Ashley?…. Oh no, the second one is not on Youtube.

    @6: Mystery CEO

    Take a look at Revver, Viddler, Metacafe and especially TubeMogul.com for ease of uploading if you are in the “video revenue/traffic generating business”… youtube isn’t the only game in town and I can say these other sites give me more direct traffic then youtube.

    #1 at something huh? No problem… give me a few years

    The thing that I noticed was that none of the sharing options listed are Google owned. (At least, I don’t think so; I don’t really keep up with Furl).

    Oh, and Mike, you look a lot better in that screen cap than you do in most of your pics

    I really dislike the new look. The old look was so much easier to navigate and use. Why did you not tell us YouTube? Is there a way to go back to the old version?

    I also noticed that the boxes’ title color got screwed on youtube’s personal pages (www.youtube.com/asantos). They are all #000000. Hope they fix the glitch soon.
