YouTube Soon on TV

YouTube is broadening their audience by getting into your television sets. On Thursday, they announced that they will be launching a new site that is created especially for TV viewing.

The Official YouTube blog reads:

“Currently in beta, the TV Website offers a dynamic, lean-back, 10-foot television viewing experience through a streamlined interface that enables you to discover, watch and share YouTube videos on any TV screen with just a few quick clicks of your remote control. With enlarged text and simplified navigation, it makes watching YouTube on your TV as easy and intuitive as possible. Optional auto-play capability enables users to view related videos sequentially, emulating a traditional television experience. The TV Website is available internationally across 22 geographies and in over 12 languages.”

YouTube will be appearing on television screen through the use of videogame consoles such as the Nintendo Wii and the Sony PS3. All users need to do in order to watch YouTube right on their TV screens is to use their videogame browsers and go to www.youtube.com/tv.
