New Day, New Features

We’ve made a few changes on Yahoo! Video that I thought you’d like to hear about.

Due to popular demand, weve surfaced all of our video sharing functionality on our video player page. So, by default, you’ll automatically see your various sharing options, including links to Digg, Facebook, and MySpace below each video.

You’ll also see a simplified and expanded stats section that shows how many times a video has been favourited. It looks like this:

My favourite feature is our new play-inline search capability. Now, when you do a video search, you can play the videos back without even leaving the search results page. And, if you like what you see, you can hit the full-screen button to continue watching the video in glorious widescreen.

Go ahead, search for Incredible Hulk, and see what I mean. It’s a whole new way to browse video search results.

Welcome to the All-New Yahoo! Video

Hey Yahoo! Video viewers and creators (and those that do both),

Notice anything different about Yahoo! Video? As you can tell we’ve really changed things around here. And it’s much more than a facelift. It’s an all-new site and I’m really excited about it. I love online video, and our new site makes everything about viewing, uploading, organizing, and presenting online video better. Here’s some of what’s new:

• A wider viewing experience: Yahoo! Video supports a 16:9 cinematastic player that’s far ahead of what most sites are offering. And the video looks great.

• More content: Yahoo! Video is now about the whole spectrum of video found throughout Yahoo!, including music, movies, TV, news, sports, and a whole lot more. And we’re still committed to featuring the best videos from our talented community of independent video creators.

• Bigger files: Speaking of our creators, we’ve raise the maximum file size to 150 megabytes, so you can upload longer, higher quality video.

• An expanded browsing experience: Discover more video through networks, playlists, and related videos.

• More sharing: Not only can you embed individual videos on your blog or site, you can create your own curated video experience with embeddable playlists. This is a great feature. Take a look at this example.

• More in-depth profiles: Your profile page now says a lot more about you. Pick your own nickname, fill the page with your favourite playlists and videos, add contacts and fans, and read and write comments.

And let’s be honest, there are a few things from the old Yahoo! Video you won’t miss:

• Comment titles: You no longer have to title your comments and you can reply to other people’s comments. You can also delete comments you’ve made, as well as unwanted comments on videos you’ve uploaded.

• Blank video players: Our embeddable player now carries the keyframe of your video, and it has a full-featured related-videos carousel. With our 16:9 aspect-ratio, I think it’s probably the best embeddable player out there.

We’ll be showing off even more of our new features in upcoming blog posts. In the meantime, start exploring. You might start by checking out our featured videos, exploring our networks, or by updating your profile.

Have fun!
