Letter To YouTube

0Rob Lewis • 16th Apr 2007 • Web

Dear YouTube,

This is just a quick letter to say that I am finally starting to “get” what you’re all about.

It’s taken me a while to really understand what all the fuss was about, but I am finally starting to realise how great you are. Where else could I dig up old videos of my favourite football hero scoring goals that’ll probably never be seen on TV again, find interviews with a local 70s rock star that I have an unhealthy comedic obsession with, or discover rare footage of Prince, Michael Jackson and James Brown sharing the same stage?

Just to nit pick slightly though – I do appreciate it must give you a headache worrying about all the legal issues, not to mention the huge bandwidth bill, but do not overlook the small details – please please please could you fix the tabbing order on your search form? I can’t count the number of times I’ve entered a search term, tabbed and hit enter, only to find I’m triggering the home link on the logo.
It only requires a very small change to your HTML, but that would no doubt save many people from my same annoyance.

Faithfully yours,

R x
