    Search Comments on YouTube in Real-Time
    Monday, October 19, 2009

    (Partial Text)
    Today, Comments Search moves into Test Tube, the place where our engineers and developers test out new features and gather data and feedback before pushing them out to a wider audience. This feature allows you to search the comments people are making on YouTube in real time. The full comment will appear on a continuously updated results page, and "trending topics" indicates the hottest topics of conversation on YouTube at that particular moment.

    Trending topics? They couldn't even come up with a different name?
    The idea is to "find out what YouTube users are saying" about the more popular videos or topics of the day, YouTube said. It appears to be an easy way to track current trends on the site. Trouble is, YouTube comments are widely regarded as some of the least informed or helpful commentary on the Web.
