Although they can be somewhat hideous, YouTube has rolled out a way to create custom players that let you, as Brad Linder says, "ecorate your player in one of nine unattractive color schemes." Using your videos or your favorites, you create a playlist in the Custom Player in your YouTube account.

It's…nice, I guess. There's not flexibility to it, and the colors aren't much help. And the even goofier look doesn't help pay attention to the content at all.

However, you can create custom playlists, as now you'll be able to keep all the crazy videos off the videos you post...right? You know, the videos that are either completely unrelated, or are the same thing somebody copied from you?

Eh, maybe in version 2.0…regardless, it's a step in the right direction of giving the users more control over the videos they upload.
