New app / revamped site coming soon

[Oscarfan]

I just got this email, because I apparently had an account on "Sesame Street Go" when that was a thing:

Big news, Sesame Street Go fans! Coming at the end of June, there’ll be even more free content to love, all in one convenient new place. And we want to thank our loyal users—you’re the ones who inspired us to create an even better Sesame Street experience! Once it goes live, you can keep using your existing Sesame Street Go login credentials to sign in to the new SesameStreet.org site and Sesame Street app.

You'll still be able to find (and “favorite”) all the features you love, but we’re adding more videos and games. All available on the App Store, Google Play, SesameStreet.org, andRoku – and all still FREE! And as always, it’s ad-free content you can trust. Be sure to update your Sesame Street Go app to get the NEW Sesame Street app at the end of June!

On the new SesameStreet.org, logged-in users will also get access to an immersive interactive Sesame Street Muppet experience and a new dashboard so parents can see what kids are watching and playing.

One note: as we update our video library with great new selections, users will be starting new “favorites” lists. Unfortunately, we are unable to retain your current list.

To receive updates from us going forward, all you have to do is click here and check off the box that says “Sesame Street and Sesame Workshop updates.”

Thank you so much for being part of the Sesame family. One last thing: We wanted to let you know about how Sesame Street helps bring education to children in need -- and how you can help. Please click here and check off the “Yellow Feather Fund” box to learn more.

We’re so happy that you’re part of our Sesame family. See you on Sesame Street!

So, it seems the .org site is getting some type of major update and new stuff will be added (maybe more classic clips? I doubt anything that hasn't been seen, but in higher quality no doubt).

Cool, thanks for bringing this to our attention!

Bummer that all of your favorite videos won't be saved anymore. It's going to be a pain in the neck just to start all over again with adding the favorite videos you added before.

I guess. I don't think that many people used the app lately though.

I wonder why.

And it's up: http://www.sesamestreet.org/

Not that much different than the previous. You do need to create a (free) login in order to view all the content (there appears to be some new videos to the site, but nothing "classic").

Going to be a real pain having to do all that now.

Hardly.

Hardly.

Well, I guess you're right.

Oh, neato.
