The new look comes with additional multi-lingual functionality as well as updated family filters and an integrated forum. While the version one videos were migrated under a system user with the upgrade, the users from version one were apparently not migrated forcing users to re-register or in my case, update my bugmenot plug-in. The site seems to have gained traction with over 300 users having reregistered since re-launch.
WestIndianTube is also now offering the pre-roll ads that have become an industry standard in monetizing niche video sites. Time will tell if the Caribbean Youtube is successful at scaling in its niche.
