YouTube clamps down on comment trolls

Google is revamping the comment system on YouTube is a bid to clamp down on abusive and offensive remarks.

At a breakout session at this week’s Google I/O conference, YouTube exec Dror Shimshowitz said the company is “working on some improvements to the comment system,” details of which should emerge in the coming months”.
Talking to Wired magazine, Shimshowitz said that comments were just one of many things YouTube hopes to improve upon in the future.
One way to improve the situation might be to tie your real-life persona more closely to your YouTube profile, as Facebook has done via the commenting system available across the Web.
YouTube took a step in that direction earlier today by allowing users to use their Google+ profile on their YouTube channel.
The company rolled this out for new users earlier this year, but is now extending it to existing YouTube members.
YouTube framed the change as way to update a YouTube username you might have outgrown (like cutepuppies99) or make it easier for people to find you on the service. Linking YouTube to Google+ will delete that old username and replace it with your full name from Google+.
“If you are currently YouTube user joeysam87, you can now appear as Joey Samson, the full name from your Google+ profile (with an actual space in the middle!), along with any photo you uploaded,” YouTube said in a blog post.
YouTube will present you with the option to link to Google+ the next time you upload or comment on YouTube. If you’d rather not link up the accounts, click “I don’t want to use my full name.”

  1. This is just the start of the Google, Google+ and YouTube coming together. We can expect to see more of these moves in the near future. I have been advising my clients that you can’t ignore Google+. Google has the dominance to ‘make’ us use it!!
