YouTube adds “Digg this” button

YouTube has introduced a hefty amount of new features. Among them is the possibility to block certain users, improved search (plus YouTube videos being indexed on Google Video Search), fixed messaging, more options for customizing channels, and several others. The category section received a much needed facelift, and it now shows two videos for each section on the front page, and twenty featured videos within each section.

You can find the entire list of new options and features at YouTube’s official blog.

The option I personally find the most exciting is the addition of buttons for quick posting of videos to social content websites: Digg, del.icio.us, Furl, Reddit, and StumbleUpon. These are available in the individual video pages after you click the “Post Video” button.

YouTube adds "Digg this" button

When you submit a video it automatically suggests the right Digg category. This one is placed in Videos -> People

Not that this was particularly hard to predict, but it does fit pretty well into one of my predictions for 2007, which said that everyone (and his grandmother) will have a “Digg this” button by the end of the year.

    What I’ve observed is that the ‘improved search’ function appears to have totally wrecked the ‘related’ clip menu on YouTube pages. Only the most banal of tags are used for search, leading to a listing of mostly unrelated clips. This breaks one of the prime sticky features of YT - that looking at one thing leads to another. I’m surprised that it hasn’t led to more of an outcry.

    That, along with MySpace’s disabling of YouTube clickthru’s this week, mean the YouTube we know may be gone for ever, sad to say.
