Google announced further integration of YouTube and Chrome into its Google+ social network.
The search giant made the announcement in its official Google blog on Thursday, showing how it has continued its integration of YouTube into Google+.
Last summer, Google incorporated the ability to play YouTube videos in Google+ Hangouts. Now it takes that a step further, offering a YouTube icon on the top right of the Google+ interface that does a cool slide move when you mouse over it, asking “What would you like to play?”
Once you’ve entered the name of a video, topic or your favorite musician or band, a pop-up window appears, displaying a list of related videos that might interest you. I tried it by entering “Beatles,” and a Beatles video started playing in a dynamically re-sizing window, while offering more like it underneath.
Share a YouTube video and anyone in your chosen share circle has access to a related playlist, right from your post.src
