YouTube Hopping in the Group Text/Messaging Game

[GoldenGlove]

YouTube roll out in-app video sharing and messaging to users worldwide

YouTube today is launching a new sharing feature in its mobile app, previously in testing with users in select markets. The feature allows YouTube users to send their friends videos and chat from within a new tab in the mobile app – effectively turning YouTube into a mobile messenger of sorts.

Potential GOAT or another Google Flop?

That's a great bit of innovation. Don't think it'll hit mass market like WhatsApp but it does a credible entry in the legit social media space unlike G+

More privacy being torn down by Google

These dudes aren't satisfied with knowing your browser history and emails,they also want everything you text and say on top.

Google is slowly becoming skynet

This ain't no innovation. YouTube is just playing catch up to what IG introduced last year.

And knowing Google's track record in social media, I see nobody using this feature.

Yes. YouTube is a video site, not a social/messaging network(unless you wanna count the comment system).

It's 100% innovation. Just because they're not 1st to market doesn't mean it isn't innovation.

As to your 2nd comment, you underestimate YouTube's userbase, they only have to convert modest % for this to be a success for them

Hybrids/convergence

What are FB, IG, Snap, Twitter?

Social media sites? Video sites? News outlets? All of the above?

You have to evolve or die.

I can't be the only one that finds the Youtube Comment Section to be

In terms of UI design as well as how the notifications take you to the video but sometimes not to the comment that you're replying to.
