YouTube Reactions

YouTube tests a new feature that allows users to express their reactions without posting silly comments. They can just click one of the six buttons (LOL, OMG, EPIC, CUTE, WTF, FAIL) and instantly tag the video.

YouTube already highlights tags that use Internet slag words (“#LOL”, “#FAIL”, “#CUTE”) from the comments and places links to a list of comment search results.


Blogger has a similar feature, but blog authors can edit the list of reactions. “With Reactions, readers can easily respond with one click, increasing feedback on posts.”
