I remember saying this before: instead of linking to www.youtube.com/watch?v=yaddayadda use www.youtube.com/v/yaddayadda .

Interesting site. A friend just developed a very simple version to browse faster/easier YouTube too!
http://www.quintopiso.com.ar/youtube/
(but they are different approaches to the issue, I think)

IMO that quintopiso link is much better than the direct link to the video or the quietube, since you can still navigate the site. But it lacks a little css, no? :) Anyway, I'll bookmark it.

Quintopiso is like YouTube with Google Video's interface and without any design...

My friend's idea was to get a lightweight version of YouTube, because he has an old computer and wants to cut off the weight of css and images. It's just functional.

You know YouTube is big, ugly, and clunky when someone creates a site like this. When will we see a google-ized redesign!
