Wow tube

The video player user experience in YouTube is probably single biggest contributor to its explosive adoption.

By the time the one video that you came to see ends, a very very smart engine keep egging you to seem more and more untill you are hooked.

The uncluttered screen layout presents the most obvious options. Share and the replay being the first choice of actions. Scrollable other similar videos being the second and only other choice.

Simple and (hence?) effective

Its simple and hence effective. Compare the page with the so called youtube of powerpoint presentations, Slideshare. Its cluttered and in no way makes me hooked on to it. I like youtube and i'm an addict.
