New Day, New Features

We made a few changes on Yahoo! Video that I thought you’d like to hear about. Due to popular demand, we’ve surfaced all of our video sharing functionality on our video player page. So, by default, you’ll automatically see your various sharing options, including links to Digg, Facebook, and MySpace below each video.

You’ll also see a simplified and expanded stats section that shows how many times a video has been favorited. It looks like this:

My favorite feature is our new play-inline search capability. Now, when you do a video search, you can play the videos back without even leaving the search results page. And, if you like what you see, you can hit the full-screen button to continue watching the video in glorious widescreen.

Go ahead, search for dramatic prairie dog, and see what I mean. It’s a whole new way to browse video search results.

    [...] Video revisions: Head on over to Yahoo! Video and you’ll see we’ve spruced up a few features. By popular demand, you’ll now find a bevy of sharing options under each video so you can shoot it off to the world via Digg, Facebook, MySpace, del.icio.us, Reddit, and StumbleUpon. We also made it easier to check out stats, which now includes how often a video has been favorited. And, perhaps coolest of all, you can now play back videos without leaving the search results page. Makes looking for just the right baby hamster video a cinch. More here. [...]

    Is it possible to not show related videos at the end of my video?
