YouTube on Thursday finished integrating Google Moderator into the site. The tool is now available to all YouTube users wanting to use their channel page as a platform for interaction and crowdsourcing. Moderator's use on the video sharing site was hitherto confined to major events and power users.
The tool was used to good effect to solicit video and text questions when YouTube interviewed President Barack Obama and Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper earlier this year. An early adopter, singer-songwriter Kina Grannis is using Moderator to crowdsource the lyrics of her next song.
“You set the parameters for the dialogue, including the topic, the type of submissions, and the length of the conversation. Watch as submissions get voted up or down by your audience, and then respond to the top-voted submissions by posting a video on your channel,” YouTube wrote on its official blog.
“The platform operates in real-time, and you can remove any content that you or your audience flag as inappropriate. You can also embed the platform on your own website or blog.”
The New York Times, Stanford and Howcast are among the 12 users YouTube invited to set the ball rolling.
