Looking at youtube you can definatly see that its a google owned entity. Google has started to apply its simple but useful updates now. The new features are great, Clean and definatly up your efficiency on the site. They’ve created new applicationss to work with youtube such as the youtube video editor which uses adobe premier as its base as well as the mobile version of youtube which serves up 3gp (mobile video format) to cellphones via rtsp protocol so as long as your device has a 3gp player it’ll play the videos.

The other feature i like is what everybody’s watching at the moment. An ajax block at the top of the page which shows the videos that are mostly being watch in real time. Because of the use of ajax it can switch out the videos without reloading the page.

I started to look at youtube’s biggest competition in my eye “Daily Motion” and i found this pretty inteeresting video. Its kinda long but it does identify youtubes weakness’s Maybe one of the google staff reesponsible for youtube should really see this.

Dailymotion vs competition
