YouTube adds new social networking features

Video networking site YouTube is introducing new features that will allow users to view how well their uploaded videos are rated on the site, apart from the current star rating, view count and comments sections.

The Google-owned site will now allow its users to view information from YouTube Insight, the website’s analytics tool.

Videos will now be able to publically display information related to the video’s performance in different regions and demographics, along with information about which sites are driving traffic to the video.

Additionally, a new graph displays the video’s popularity over a certain period of time. These features have always been available on YouTube Insight, but this marks the first time they will be publically available.
