"Have you ever noticed that some YouTube channel pages were a little different than others?  A bit cleaner?  The White House, Citizentube, the University of Phoenix, and Lisa Nova all are different than the channels of popular YouTubers Fred, nigahiga, and Smosh. \nTheir videos are wider.  They're left-aligned.  The content is better compartmentalized.  Profiles information is pushed below the fold, and better organized.  The entire layout is centered around playlists.  And the differences go on and on.\nWell all of these changes have been part of a quiet beta for YouTube Channels 2.0, a new look and feel for one of the website's most important aspects.  It's been in testing for months, but starting today, all new users will have the new channel design.\n\n\n\n\n\nAbove: New design, Nalts\n\nYouTube has been testing and adding iterations to this Channel redesign.  In fact, there's a \"Secret\" YouTube Channels Beta Blog that provides updates based on beta user feedback.  Everything from video alignment to whether ratings stars are clickable is addressed by the YouTube team.\nPersonally, we're big fans of the new design.  Just take a look at what YouTube Channel 1.0 looks like to understand why we think having a cleaner interface focused on the video content is the right thing to do:\n\n\n\n\n\nAbove: Old design, Fred\n\nCan we please just switch everybody else to the new channel design already, YouTube?"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
