YouTube “Feather”: Ultra-light version for netbooks
December 4, 2009 at 7:57 am
YouTube has introduced the “Feather” Beta, which is a trimmed down version of YouTube designed to run on netbooks/low-powered PCs running on low-bandwidth connections. It is designed to watch videos with the lowest latency possible by limiting the features available to viewers and reducing the amount of bytes downloaded by the browser.
The changes include the player defaulting to standard quality, reducing comments displayed to 10 and removing sharing and embedding options. The auto-suggest search bar and related videos have also been removed. With the advent of Adobe Flash Player 10.1 and GPU-accelerated playback, YouTube playback is unlikely to trouble ION-powered netbooks. However, for everyone else, this new version is probably worth a try, especially if you don’t use the removed features much anyway.
You can check out the YouTube “Feather” opt-in beta here. Just click on the “Join the ‘Feather’ Beta” link. Remember this is currently work in progress so not all videos will work right now.

I do trust all the concepts you’ve introduced in your post.
They’re really convincing and can certainly work. Still, the posts are
very short for beginners. Could you please lengthen them a
bit from next time? Thank you for the post.

is quality based stuff.

Asking questions are really good thing if you are not understanding
something totally, however this paragraph gives
pleasant understanding yet.

Hmm it looks like your site ate my first comment (it was extremely long) so I guess I’ll just sum it
up what I had written and say, I’m thoroughly enjoying your
blog. I as well am an aspiring blog writer but I’m still new to
everything. Do you have any recommendations for novice blog
writers? I’d really appreciate it.

I have been surfing online more than three hours today, yet I never found any interesting article like yours.
It’s pretty worth enough for me. In my view, if all web owners and bloggers
made good content as you did, the net will be a lot more useful than ever before.

My spouse and I absolutely love your blog and find nearly all
of your post’s to be precisely what I’m looking for.
Does one offer guest writers to write content for you?
I wouldn’t mind producing a post or elaborating on a few of the subjects

I always spent my half an hour to read this web site’s content everyday
along with a cup of coffee.
June 27th, 2014 4:12 PM
It’s fantastic that you are getting ideas from this post
as well as from our dialogue made at this place.

Good day! I know this is somewhat off topic but I was wondering which blog platform are you using for this website?
I’m getting sick and tired of Wordpress because I’ve had problems with hackers and I’m looking at
alternatives for another platform. I would be great if
you could point me in the direction of a good platform.

I think that everything said was actually very reasonable.
However, what about this? suppose you were to create a awesome post title?
I am not suggesting your information isn’t good., however what if you added something that makes people want more?
I mean YouTube “Feather”: Ultra-light version for netbooks | Netbook Choice is kinda plain.
You could look at Yahoo’s front page and note how they create
post titles to grab people interested. You might add a video or a related picture or two to grab people interested about what you’ve written. In my opinion, it could
make your posts a little livelier.
