Official Blog

We are ecstatic to announce the changes we made to the site last night. As a result of many sleepless nights, we have completed a very feature-rich release. Once again, many of these changes are in direct response to
your
feedback, so please keep them coming. And the changes include...
First up,
video flagging
. At the bottom of the video watch page, you will notice a new section for flagging a video. If you encounter a video that's inappropriate or copyrighted, please use this feature to notify us. We will aggressively monitor these submissions and respond as quickly as we can.
Second,
Friends & Sharing
. We poured a tremendous amount of time and effort into enhancing our sharing functionality. With the new sharing feature, an easy-to-use pop-up appears over the video. From here, you can choose with whom you'd like to share the video with. This feature is really something that you have to see to appreciate. Trust me! Log in and watch a video. Then, click on 'Share this Video'... I told you so!
Lastly,
Channels
. While the video uploads have been pouring in, we realized it grew ever more difficult for viewers to find relevant and interesting videos. Though tags are very efficient at identifying specific details about content, we wanted to further simplify the browsing experience. With the release of
Channels
, similar content will be categorized and grouped into common channels. By "flipping" to a channel such as
Short Movies
or
Travel & Places
, you can browse through all videos within the channel.
Once again, thanks for using the site! Please
contact us
with any suggestions or feedback.
