Sure enough, I pulled up GodTube.com today only to be redirected to Tangle, the new version of the site, including a redesign to go along with it.  The site now offers not only video sharing – but blogs, photos, music (band pages), playlists, and more.  It essence, it’s now a Christian version of MySpace.

I must admit, I’m always skeptical when Christians take ideas that have already been done well by someone else and make the faith-based.  However, if it’s going to be done, it must be done well.  And given the funding that the service received, it looks like they have put the time and resources into doing it well.  What do you think about it?
