For those of you that haven’t already noticed, YouTube just released a brand new annotations editor. If you’re not familiar, annotations are the little text bubbles that pop up during videos. Check out using annotations to learn all about why they are so useful.
Instead of having to go into your account and to the page specifically for annotations editing, the new editor is built right into the videos main page. While your viewers will see your video as normal, you’ll see yours with two little arrows in the bottom left corner, and when you hover your mouse over the video content, you’ll see that it changes into a little targeting icon. Pretty nifty!
There is also an option to turn the new annotations editor off, if it bugs you.
Just thought this was worth mentioning, especially since it seems like I’ve only been posting negative stuff around here lately. This is good news!
Oh, I almost forgot. Another YouTube change! For those of you who like to troll comment boards and then later regret your ridiculous comments, you’ll be glad to know that YouTube has made it now possible to delete your own comments. Previously, only the owner of the video was allowed to delete any comments.

Glad to see they are making changes to make it more user friendly.
