Today, YouTube invited a group of press to its headquarters in San Bruno to highlight some of its progress over the last few months (and there's been a lot). Topics discussed included the revamped homepage, which the company is hoping to make incrasingly addictive, and a new ad unit that lets you pick the advertisement you'd prefer to watch (Hulu has offered something similar for a while now). The event also had two big pieces of product news: YouTube is a about to launch a new feature for navigating the site, and it's also launching a new application on Android Market that creates a seamless link between your television, your phone, and YouTube's millions of videos. Topics Most people would classify web search as a pretty difficult challenge ?�connecting people with the content they want that's spread across the Internet takes an incredible amount of resources and advanced algorithms. And there's a ridiculous amount of content that's being added every day, which makes this even harder. But the folks at YouTube say that's easy compared to what they're dealing with.
