Online video host, Brightcove, has decided to no longer let users submit videos. Brightcove is shutting down the submission of videos on Brightcove.tv today. From now on Brightcove will host only professional videos.

We actually have never viewed Brightcove as a place for internet users to host videos, but mainly for businesses. We think this is a good choice for Brightcove. This will help them focus on partnerships with companies. Brightcove really did not have a chance at hosting users videos, mostly due to YouTube.

The YouTube team has been working on a redesign. It seems to be an “eye sore” though.

YouTube is asking for user feedback during the changes. That’s something that many websites overlook when making website changes. Over the next few months new features will appear, and will include improved categories, dropdown menus, and a new look and feel for tabs and video browsing pages.

The new red color is a bit annoying to us, but the site seem quicker to get around now.

A preview of what YouTube will roll out is available live here. What do you think of the makeover?
