I needed to get my juices flowing this morning, so I mocked up some YouTube concepts; thought I'd share because I kinda like them! The design is centered around highlighting professional content and pushing purchase/rental content sourced from Google Play.

I added a Podcasts area as its own destination because it really deserves one, as it also helps discoverability.

Speaking of discoverability, I added filters to see what your connections on FB, G+ and Twitter are sharing or watching, as well as the ability to filter new videos by other who live in your city.

The right column is dedicated ad space for premium advertisers.

A YouTube 100 was added as another way to see what's trending acros all categories.

The Users hub at top is where all non-podcast user-generated content will now go. I find it important to keep amateur and professional content easily identifiable through this separation.

I added a Random button near the top left. Part of the fun of YouTube is randomly discovering a great video. Ideally, you could keep clicking the button for hours just trying to find something cool.

The I.D. badge at the top right would contain a menu to access a queue, the user profile, purchase/rental history and the user's personal channel.

There are a number of other noticable changes as well I won't detail, but that's the basic notes I have. What do you think?

    • Do not enter the code under any circumstances, or you will be sorry. It's definitely and most likely a hacking attempt.  That happened to me a couple of years ago, and I kept receiving those prompts for months. It's simply the attacker trying to get you tired of the constant requests, so you just give up and enter the code, so they can log in to your account. 
    • Ah well, who needs computers in the next 10... 15 years right? At this point is just money laundering.
    • RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 and Voidwrought are free on the Epic Games Store by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe PC gamers can now jump in and grab two more games to keep this week, as the Epic Games Store's ever-present giveaway promotion has just gone through another refresh. Replacing last week's Citizen Sleeper and Robobeat offers, the store has brought in RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 Complete Edition and Voidwrought to keep. From the duo, Roller Coaster Tycoon 3: Complete Edition is an enhanced version of the classic title that was originally released in 2004. It comes with enhancements such as widescreen and 1080p resolution support, as well as increased compatibility with modern PC hardware. It also comes bundled with all the extra content from the Soaked! and Wild! expansion packs. "Control park finances, shops, services and staff to succeed in dozens of scenarios," reads the description. "Become a true tycoon and embark on your promising new career, or create your ideal park without money woes in sandbox mode. Satisfy your guests’ needs and keep your park running smoothly to succeed." If management is not your style, Voidwrought lands as a 2D action-platformer featuring hand-drawn cosmic horrors. The title touts tight platforming and close‑quarters combat, all brought together with a strong emphasis on mobility. "Descend below the star-scorched surface and explore the multidimensional depths below," says the studio Powersnake about the game. "Witness the corrupted revelry of the Court, lose yourself in the icy tunnels of the Old Waters, and discover the grim fate of the Abandoned Expedition." The RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 Complete Edition and Voidwrought giveaways are set to run until June 25 on the Epic Games Store, giving PC gamers seven days to claim the latest offer. Once this closes out, new freebies will take their place on the same day as always. Don't forget that mobile gamers can check out the Epic Game Store's weekly giveaways on Android and iOS to grab a freebie there as well.
