Pink Slip - Part 5 - It's Complicated

I may have made a mistake, since I don't know what happened to my video but since I'm half asleep after being up until 4:00 A.M. editing our forthcoming episode "Pink Slip - Part 6 - Juggling"on line with editor Mollie Caselli, if I don't make any sense I hope you'll all forgive me. Now where was I? Oh, yes, I was talking to you or trying to....We are so happy that our latest episode Pink Slip - Part 5 - It's Complicated is finally up and running and we hope that you will enjoy it. Suzie (Kaitlin Snyder), a beautiful, somewhat shallow, but very lovable and beautiful fashionista and Max,( Michael Adam Hamilton) a handsome unemployed actor, pink slipped from his night job, due to the bad economy, evicted from his apartment, orphaned and all alone in the world, except for best pal Joey, are finally dating after previously having hooked up in an elevator. Now they have to get to know one another. Who is he? He could be Jack the Ripper? Or not...I guess that's what happens when you act first, and ask questions later.....but things are complicated for many reasons....for starters Max's ex, Rita, (Lauryn Nicole Hamilton) won't give him up and then there's that little matter of Max affording his apartment by pretending to be a female senior citizen , Aunt Florrie while best pal Joey (Jason Ellefson), pretends to be Aunt Florrie's female home care attendant, Lullabelle/Gertrude.

The original panel was supposed to include Tony Chen of Yellow Thunder Media

Tony's team consistently "makes" videos go viral on YouTube—leveraging paid media to generate massive amounts organic views. YTM's recent work for a major studio has garnered over 17 MM views to date, 20 times more than any other video in the campaign. The best part? He says his technique works for "any video."

For some unknown reason Tony Chen was replaced with William Hyde, TheWillofDC

Did YouTube break YouTube?

YouTube recently released some new design features.

What YouTubers are Saying About the New YouTube Design

http://news.tubefilter.tv/2011/12/02/new-youtube-design/

There are three key areas where this affects the user experience

1. The home page - this has changed for all users
2. The Channel page - this is currently still opt-in.
3. Overall design - this has changed for all users.



So, how is YouTube broken?
The new channel moves comments on a channel to a "feed" tab. This makes them less visible and hence makes the channels less "social". In addition the new channel design hides the subscriber list for that channel. This again tends to make the new design less "social" especially for series getting off the ground where others might want to interact directly with subscribers.

A few observations about the new home page.

The new home page allows you to pin your top 10 channels at the top of your subscriber list on the left. This is a useful feature, but default it only shows the top 5 until you click on "more". Since the pinned channels are in alphabetical order this means that channels that are at the end of the alphabet are at a disadvantage. You can of course get around this by only pinning 5 channels, but it would be more elegant if YouTube allowed us to show all 10 by default or order our top 10 so that it did not depend on alphabetical order.

If you have found other ways the new YouTube has affected you, post a comment below and let us know.
