Well, Jeff IT'S NOT PERFECT IF ONE DAY YOU WAKE UP AND NOTICE THAT YOU HAVE ZERO of the more than 140 watch later videos that you saved. I would have been better off putting the links into a spread sheet or text file.
What's really scary is that Google wants to do Cloud Computing where WE USERS put our data on what are supposed to be SECURE ONLINE PLATFORMS!
PULEEEEZE you can't even keep a simple list (I have two YouTube Accounts BOTH OF THEM GOT TRASHED!) for videos and you want to do serious data storage?
I think that I'll pass on your Cloud offering. I don't want to wake up one day and see my data gone.
Now, I wish I had saved the links saved either in my browser or on a spreadsheet. Some of those videos that I DID NOT WATCH were ones that I had stumbled by accident that I'll probably never find again!
I now think that I'll also just say NO to using your watch list ever again. This way I can be assured that I will at least have the link if I SAVE IT!.
Watch Later is a handy feature but it is absolutely WORTHLESS if it loses data. I've lost faith in the feature and I'll never trust it again. Very disappointed.
