New Interface for Embedded YouTube Videos

Hey Everyone! YouTube has done some rearranging and some reprogramming and some adding and subtracting and all that and what they've come up, well I think you might be pleased. YouTube has redone the interface for embedded videos that people like me post on their websites, blogs, etc. Go check a few of them out on the page here. What do you notice? Maybe you can run your cursor across the side and the bottom and click the Menu button. Notice anything? Yes new little doodads. The first thing can be found on the sides which I have no clue what it does. Two arrow like things pop up. When I click on them while watching one of the Blaze videos it just restarts the movie. Maybe it's different for other videos.  Next thing is at the bottom. You should see little thumbnails of other videos. This is like when you finish a video on YouTube it shows other movies you might like. The other deal is with the Menu button. When you click it the video screen gets shrunk and an Embed and URL button appear allowing for you to link the vid to other places. I like this new feature from YouTube. It's very slick and hopefully soon we'll see ads. YouTube videos are plastered everywhere on the Internet. Think if Google put ads on their. The person who uploaded the video could make money and so could Google. Right now the whole revenue sharing thing like that is sort of very exclusive so it's kind of in beta but I hope to see that come to us in the near future. Anyway, until then.
