iFilm, grandfather-in-spirit to the current crop of booming video sites, has quiety launched a totally revamped beta version of the site at beta.ifilm.com. The new site is a breath of fresh air compared to the outdated, cluttered, graphics-heavy site of yore. The navigation is much-improved and all videos now play an embedded Flash player, finally! iFilm was acquired a year ago by MTV Networks and content from MTV, MTV2, and Logo are featured heavily, but not too heavily. Unlike the old iFilm, the beta takes a cue from the new breed of video-sharing sites with a prominently-displayed "Upload a Video" button. I don't know if this new direction for iFilm will be enough to shore up its flagging popularity, but it's certainly a step in the right direction.
