YouTube is launching a new mobile website optimized for smart phones.

Unlike other social, video and content sharing sites, YouTube has been criticized by some for not having a mobile site as advanced as other equally popular websites.

The obvious goal of the update is to enable mobile users to access their account, view favorite videos, and share new content quickly.

According to YouTube, the new version has been “specifically designed to access YouTube on smartphones with capable browsers; phones like the iPhone, G1 and Palm Pre.”

YouTube’s mobile page now loads as a much cleaner-looking home page. Popular and recommended videos are easy to access with all the features for our videos that we know and love in plain sight – a preview image, title, rating, length, and view count.

Tomorrow I expect to introduce 2 new writers for the Mobile Marketing Watch. I received a tremendous response to my call for writers and it’s been tough getting through all of the emails. In fact, I’ve got a group of ten finalists… that was narrowed down from over 50.

Thanks to everyone that sent in requests or resumes.

If you answered “Indeed” then indeed it is <see logo>. Indeed is a fairly impressive job search engine that has aggregated jobs from sites all over the internet and the speed of their search engine didn’t go unnoticed by me either. It also looks a lot like Google, that’s smart on their part. Why not emulate what has become synonymous with search; Google?

Anyhow, search indeed for mobile wireless and you’ll quickly have access to 12,279 job openings as of this writing.

What’s really cool though about indeed is that they’ve integrated RSS into the search results so users can just subscribe to the result feed. Here’s the mobile wireless jobs RSS Feed.
