Get The New Look YouTube

Hot on the heels of YouTube changing their search algorithm so rank based on how long videos are watched as opposed to to just clicks (a fantastic idea), a redesign is in the works. It's not accessible right now, but can be by following these very simple steps (on Chrome only. But it really doens't matter as I'm pretty sure it'll be rolled out to everyone soon).

 

  • Head to YouTube, then hit Ctrl+Shift+J (or Alt+Cmd+J in OS X)
  • Then enter this line of code: document.cookie="VISITOR_INFO1_LIVE=jZNC3DCddAk;"
  • Hit enter, then refresh the page
  • There you go

 

I Just Want To Listen To The Best Of

A pretty handy little site designed by Andres Rey that throws up the top ten most popular tracks by an artist. A good way of getting a quick intro. For some reason it won't work on my PC (tried with Chrome and Firefox) but will work on my Mac (Chrome). I've asked Andres about it but no reply as of yet... 

Update: Andres works on a PC, it turns out, so it was something my end which turned out to be my internet provider. They've blocked Grooveshark due to copyright crap. Damn it (I'm in Denmark and my provider is Fullrate).
