On July 7, Youtube unveiled Leanback, the website’s new format that automatically takes users to full screen mode, lines up videos that might interest them, and plays clips one after the other without pausing. And none of that browsing and clicking either. Leanback can fully function with the use of a QWERTY keyboard.
It also has a feature where in users can link their Youtube accounts to Facebook, in which your friends’ videos can be added to lineup.
The video quality kind of sucks right now, but we’re guessing that’s because it’s still on its beta phase. If they improve on that, as well as work on the selection of better content for viewers, then maybe, just maybe, Youtube can pull of being the Pandora of videos.
