YouTube Analytics Replaces Insight

Have you looked at the new YouTube Analytics page, yet?  It's the replacement for the older YouTube Insight.  It contains most of the same info, but with a new interface.  You can read the official blog entry here.

Analytics has it's share of good and bad compared to the older Insight interface, but overall seems to make the important numbers available faster.  Now, those numbers just need to be updated more frequently.

YouTube Homepage Experiment Update

Have you noticed a dramatic change to the YouTube homepage lately?  Most likely not, but some users have been randomly added to the latest YouTube Homepage design experiment.

Check out this CNN.com article about what you may (or may not) be seeing on the YouTube homepage very soon.  (Note that the experiment is not directly connected to Google+, which the article may make you believe.  Not saying it isn't inspired by Google+'s design, though.)

Update to the YouTube API

For the many Google Account users who don't actually have YouTube accounts, you will be able to take advantage of using various online applications that use the YouTube API.

To read the long, technical description (which you most likely won't read unless you are an API developer), you can click here.

The short version means that if you or someone else ever ran into a YouTube related app on website, but it couldn't be used without being logged in to a YouTube account, someone's found an official way around that.
