In a new redesign launched last night, YouTube made large changes to the layout and overall look while adding advanced social integration to the site.
We’ve given YouTube a refresh. When you login, you’ll be greeted with recent activity from your subscriptions. You can also browse and add new Channels to your homepage. Connect with Google+ and Facebook to share your favorites with friends. There’s plenty to discover, so login and give it a spin.
To the avid YouTube user the overall changes will be quite noticeable. The updates make the site legitimately like one-stop video viewing destination like Hulu or Netflix.

So with a stronger focus on channels, deeper social tie-ins and a streamlined look, this revamp has created an improved integrated video viewing destination. Here’s an official video on the YouTube redesign:
