Gotuit Beta Is Good, Not Great

Gotuit BETA has recently launched and there is a lot to like. While the site has a lot of nice content, and the advertising isn’t too annoying, there is a major navigation flaw that we here at IBloggedThis.com can’t ignore. When looking through the categories there is a small grey arrow that implies that the category expands down. While that would be logical, it is not the case. Instead, clicking that grey arrow plays the first video in that category. Nonsense! Why would anyone want to play a video blindly? It wouldn’t be so bad if clicking that grey arrow played the first video, AND expanded down.

Honestly, we wanted to like Gotuit, and in general we do; its just the fact that the navigation is poor at best prevents the website from reaching it’s full potential. You should still want to check it out since there is a lot of content on Gotuit that you “can’t find” on YouTube. Along with that, the site design is very nice, and the videos load SUPER fast. It actually might be worth the time to adjust to the poor navigation, and if it is ever changed, Gotuit could become a power house in the online video industry.
