Once upon a time, in the early days of smartphones (y’know, a few years ago), a company would do everything possible to make its app look as similar to its website as possible. Now everything is topsy-turvy. Today YouTube revealed that some of the website’s new look is going to be borrowed from its mobile app. Brave new world.

YouTube is a wildly popular website where you can just spend hours and hours in this time sink, watching one cat video to another and before you know it, it is time to go to work again the next morning. Of course, it is also the place where many of us go to in order to get our favorite music video fix. Well, it seems that Google, YouTube’s owner, is revamping its existing website (user interface included) to go up against the likes of Spotify and Rdio among other music streaming companies, where a new segment will appear on the right side of the page as you perform a search on a popular and recognized artist.

Google is the widely used online search engine in the world, and the company now does so much more than letting you search for anything and everything. YouTube is another one of Google’s highly successful online properties and today a new Google Search update aims to leverage that by placing YouTube videos front and center. Now if you search for a song on Google, a Google Now style card will be displayed. This card will feature a link to the song on YouTube, so people can simply click through to the video sharing website without having to open it in another window or tab.

Google executive Susan Wojcicki has just been given a promotion, where she is now the new head of Google’s YouTube video business, at least according to Reuters, whose sources happen to be close to the matter. This particular promotion will see Wojcicki take over Salar Kamangar, where it represents the most recent change to Google’s top properties.
