Will YouTube Soon Give Users a 'Backstage' Pass?




Do you consider YouTube a social network? Though when most people think social networks, they think about sites like Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Instagram, Snapchat and Pinterest. YouTube is often forgotten.

If rumors are true, YouTube is looking to change . The video-sharing site is working on a new feature called Backstage, which would make YouTube more than a place where its billion users comment on the millions of hours of video they’re watching.

YouTube Backstage: Coming Soon?


YouTube is reportedly going to unveil several new social features that are more like those you’re familiar with from Facebook and Twitter. Backstage will let users share the following with their subscribers:
  • Photos.
  • Polls.
  • Links.
  • Text posts.
  • Exclusive videos.

“YouTube hopes to spur new types of conversation with Backstage, and will eventually allow subscribers to reply to posts in myriad ways – with photos, videos, and other types of comments – a feature the company is calling ‘rich replies’ internally,” VentureBeat reported.

Initially it will only be available to a few popular YouTube accounts. It will get its own tab alongside Home and Videos.


When Might We See YouTube Backstage?



At some point this year, possibly as early as fall, according to VentureBeat. Google had no comment because Backstage falls into the “rumor and speculation” category.

When it comes to social networks, Google doesn’t have the best track record. Orkut, Google Buzz, and Google+ are among the highlights of Google’s social media lowlights. So it will be interesting to see if the company can get YouTube Backstage right.

Why Responsive Web Design is Needed?

The most challenging task before any website is to attract more and more visitors as the number of visitors is what determines the success of a particular website. The visitors are crucial so are the devices that they use. Quite a few years back, the computer was the only medium, people used for surfing the net. But, the situation today has changed drastically. According to a survey conducted recently, 1 in every 5 persons has a smartphone and nearly 90 per cent people use their phone throughout the day. And almost 45 percent of Internet use is through the mobile devices, such as smartphones, IPads, and tablets. It is quite clear from the above statistics that Smartphone has replaced a computer.

Best Method to How To Find What Google Wants

I once tried to explain to my Grandma what I do at SEO Melbourne . Now, she knows what Google is but she wouldn’t have any idea about what Google wants, as she doesn’t have access to the Internet. Then I went to a friend of mine and told her what I did. She’s an Internet savant, always up to date with the latest social media trends and stories. She was also a little bit confused. But I think my favourite reaction to hearing about SEO came from my Aunt. When I told her that SEO is a branch of digital marketing where we help clients get their website onto the first page of Google, she thought for a moment before saying: ‘but why wouldn’t you just call your website something like www.aardvark.com?’ I’m not sure how long she had thought that Google was alphabetised, but I’m glad that I finally got to set her straight that day. I think that this really goes to show that no matter how much we use the Internet, there’s always going to be something about it that we don’t quite understan...
