This week our coverage of news from the online video world includes a look at The Huffington Post's recent investment of $30 million dollars into a daily 12-hour live video stream that covers all the news going up on their site along with several other AOL web properties, like TechCrunch and Engaget. Also, YouTube set a deadline of March 7 for everyone to migrate to the new channel design before they flip the switch and kill the old channel layout. YouTube's CEO talks about why they're focusing less on individual videos and moving toward a strategy that focuses on channels instead. The official YouTube blog has a story of a few guys who are doing extremely well using some of the marketing tools on YouTube. One guy even earned 370,000 subscribers using the TrueView ads! Crazy. And finally we look at one of our very own ReelSEO stories that gives some tips for any of you who are thinking about starting your own video web series for your business.

Feb 7, 2012 - I am so glad that YouTube is changing all of the channel layouts. I love the new layout... Much cleaner design.

Feb 7, 2012 - Ahh cool, I'll actually be in Cincinnati. :)
reelseo Says:
Feb 7, 2012 - Going to be moving to Cincinnati for a new job position around April, but will be in PA and TX until then. A lot of crazy traveling coming up.
reelseo Says:
Feb 7, 2012 - Yeah. It's cool that YouTube is getting more credible exposure, but you'd wish the people giving it exposure were more knowledgable. That will come with more exposure, I guess.
reelseo Says:
Feb 7, 2012 - My whole family is (wife, two kids). We're going to PA for a bit and then to TX, but will end up settling down in Cincinnati around April. Gonna be pretty crazy until then.
reelseo Says:
Feb 7, 2012 - I agree. I think they look much cleaner and remove the functionality that some content creators liked, but ultimately didn't serve the purpose they were hoping they did and ended up cluttering the channel page.

Feb 7, 2012 - No, the plan is to continue to do these videos for ReelSEO. Just not sure if I'll be able to keep up with it the next few weeks while we travel, but I'm certainly hoping to.
reelseo Says:
Feb 7, 2012 - Thanks, Daniel! I really appreciate the encouragement! Glad it's helpful for ya!

Wurek Says:
Feb 8, 2012 - I don˙t know why people hate the new look. I like it and I think it looks better. Internet is constantly changing, all we can do is to adapt and embrace new stuff.
reelseo Says:
Feb 8, 2012 - Thanks! I look forward to doing them for ya! :)
reelseo Says:
Feb 8, 2012 - Agreed.

MuttleeCrew Says:
Feb 29, 2012 - YT lost 14,455,541 users over the past 30 days, it's dropping like a rock because the new layout sucks!
grizzlyten Says:
Feb 29, 2012 - You and all the other partners will be buried in a sea of grey and you will look just like the rest of us. Best of luck trying to attract new subscribers in the new generic Youtube!
