New Justin.tv Look!

The date was August 5th, the time was around 11pm pst. Justin and the crew released a brand new Justin.tv with a new look and more importantly some great new features to the site. Here is my review of the new Justin.tv.

Channel Pages

Some of the notable changes of the channel pages are:

  • Brand New Header for the site
  • An archive page for each channel with best of Tips and recent Tips
  • Newly submitted tips now show up in chat and also under the video player after being submitted.
  • A list of recent channel tips for the current channel your on and also a separate list for recommended tips for all channels
  • A redesigned JTV video player
  • Portal Page

    The portal page can be seen HERE
    I have to admit that I really like the portal page. Of course as you can see they are using coverflow which is used in iTunes and on the iPhone. Hopefully they won’t be sued by apple for “borrowing” coverflow. The portal makes it really easy to browse through all the channels as you can just click an arrow to go to the next casters stream without having to load up a new page. Very handy for those who are channel surfers.

    Archive Page

    An example of an archive page can be seen HERE The archive I am linking to is the one where Norah falls out of her chair. One of my personal favorites.
    I can see the JTV crew have really worked hard on this page and it is almost perfect. 3 new features they added with this updates are:

  • The ability to download the archive video of the tip! So now you can download your favorite archive.
  • You can now comment on tips.
  • Embeddable archive video. JTV now gives you the code so you can embed your favorite tip on your own webpage.
  •  

    Some changes are needed.

    As far as the archives and tips I would like to see them implement the ability to delete a tip or comment that you have made.
    Yes I know the portal page is just a beta page at the moment but I think it needs to be worked on to make it load a little quicker. Once the performance of the page is acceptable it should be the default page of justin.tv. Justin should not be the default page for JTV.

     

    So go check out the new Justin.tv page. It’s a big step up from the last designs.
