YOUTUBE WITH A BRAND NEW LOOK

The Internet's most popular video site -- and the second most popular site, period, according to owner Google -- has finally gotten an image overhaul. YouTube unveiled its new look, which features gray navigation bars, on Thursday. YouTube announced the renovation on its blog : "So, today we're introducing a new homepage, Channel design and a fresh coat of digital paint." The new design makes YouTube's website much easier to navigate -- not that that's really saying much. YouTube's old site design was basically videos in a grid on a plain, white background -- there wasn't a lot of order. While users could navigate by clicking light gray buttons at the top of the page to see recent activity, subscriptions, and recommendations, the homepage was mostly an overwhelming jumble of images and text. Now, YouTube has a dark gray sidebar on the left side of the page, where users can see their subscribed channels. Clicking on a link on the left side of the page (there's also "Trending" and "Popular Channels" links, in addition to users' subscribed channels) changes the content in the center column, where videos appear in a list rather than a grid. There's also a right- hand sidebar with " Recommended" videos.

paypal sees rise in payments

PayPal sees 514 percent increase of mobile payments on Cyber Monday Maybe should be “ra- ring,” as PayPal had a 514 percent increase in mobile payments this Cyber Monday from last year. Just as people adapted to purchasing online, now they are becoming more accustomed to buying through their smartphones. PayPal is seeing a six-fold increase in mobile payments, as smartphones move toward owning half of 2011 ′s mobile marketshare. A recent Nielsen study states 43 percent of mobile phone owners are smartphone users, 62 percent being 25 to 34 year-olds. The payments company saw an even bigger mobile increase, 516 percent, this past Black Friday. “Based on the volume of mobile purchases made throughout the weekend, it seems that as we predicted throughout 2011 , mobile shopping has hit its stride this Holiday season,” said PayPal Shopping Specialist Claudia Lombana in a blog post . The boom in PayPal’s Black Friday mobile purchasing happened between 1 and 2pm. Today’s 514 percent only reflects mobile purchases made as of 11 am Monday, and the company says it will reveal more details Tuesday morning. According to IBM, retailers’ website traffic was 11.85 percent mobile users as of 3pm Pacific Time today. iPhones accounted for the majority of the mobile traffic, followed by Android devices and lastly the iPad. On the other side of eBay, the e- commerce site saw an impressive response to its iPad 2 sale. The company offered white 16 GB iPad 2s for $50 off the retail price, and sold out its entire stock in less than 2 hours. eBay says it had four iPad purchases a minute in the time it took to sell out the offer.
