YouTube New Homepage Officially Launches to All Users

The world biggest video-sharing site YouTube has finally launched its new homepage to all users on 19 January, 2011. You can open your browser, point it to YouTube.com and begin to experience the new homepage now.


The new homepage has been testing during the past month. After some large scale studies, experiments and surveys from users, YouTube decided to put some changes to its homepage. The new homepage now you can see is more personally relevant. In YouTube’s words, "…the goal of this experiment was to put more of an emphasis on 'videos for you.'"


Okay, here are the new features available in new YouTube Homepage.

  • Increased focus on videos that matter to you (subscriptions, friend's sharing, recommendations)
  • You can easily filter your homepage to show only the latest uploads from your subscriptions
  • Don't miss anything; if a channel uploads four videos in a day, you’ll see all four - instead of just the latest video
  • Quick access to the inbox when you have new messages or comments
  • Knows what you have seen (videos you've watched are grayed out)
  • Remove any video (hover and click the "x" button)

YouTube also said that users who have any question or suggestion about the new homepage can send them feedback via a video, the blog post, forums or on Twitter.
