uStream's New Design

Posted by: Sean | Posted on: April 26th, 2009 | 0 Comments

First off, for those who do not know what uStream is, it is basically a video community where you can go and watch live shows covering various topics from sport to entertainment and gaming. Also you can take part in the discussion that is going on live by interacting with other users through the IRC chat available on each live show's page.

I signed up for a uStream account about a year or so ago, i do not broadcast a live show nor do i ever intend to :D But the reason why  signed up was so that i could take part in chat rooms and favorite certain live channels. You can join in the chat even if you are not a registered use however you have some undefined name given to you, but you can set a temporary username but i find it just easier to sign up once and not have to set my username each time.

Up until recently the uStream site looked like this..

It looked okay, but i always thought it could of done with a complete re-design. Now however they have done just that and have released there new design that looks like this..

I think the new design looks great and looks more modern. They also finally changed the look of there video player, i am not too pushed on how it looks now but it is better than the old one :D Also another thing to note with the looks of the new site, it looks a hell of a lot like hulu!
