YouTube... basic yet powerful.

YouTube is a powerful and simple website.  They make it easy for individuals to search and upload video content to their site.  With thousands of categories from informative to cute or creative YouTube is also a tool for today's marketers.  They can post their commercials and viral videos and let the surfers take off with their creation.  They even allow movie rental for free or $2.99 for recently released items.  I appreciate the clean and easy to navigate site construction.  There is a large search bar which is the main focus of most visitors using the site.  They give thier customers exactly what they want and do not fluff up the site with other garbage to distract you.  Their product plays smoothly and I have not had problems with freezing yet that most likely depends on your net connection.  They do have tracking cookies that allow the site to offer suggestions of further videos that you may be interested in.  Yet these suggestions are non-intrusive and easily accessible, if needed.  I believe in simplicity in design and YouTube is an effective player in this area.
