Terrible design and what are those big overlayed boxes with alpha gradient of bad, bad bad taste, visible when the ad is playing? I understand they want to turn some functionality off so users can't skip the ad but can they find a nicer way to disable that interface?? Amateurs. Please pick "Emotional design & UI" for dummies before you do your players. LOL… it is horrible, the player itself looks like it has been put together in 5 minutes!

It's easy to navigate, and can be at least lightly personalized to match the web site. It's easy to separate the videos into all sorts of channels, and you can easily share and embed any of the video clips (as well as syndicate a channel or your entire player). I'm a huge fan. I realize nothing is perfect, but given some of the options I see on a daily basis, it's tops in my book. Both as a user and a web site operator.
