> Today is the beta launch of YouTube RealTime, a new way of discovering
> what your friends are doing on YouTube. Through this persistent
> toolbar (which appears in the lower right corner of the page), you'll
> be able to see...

> -- which of your YouTube friends are currently online and what they're
> watching
> -- a history of their recent activities on the site
> -- and real-time notifications when they perform activities (like
> commenting, favoriting, and uploading).

> Wanna try it? The first 100 people to say "Yes! Sign me up" in the
> comments on the Blog will get an exclusive invite to test RealTime
> out.

> Please keep in mind that you will need to have friends on YouTube for
> this to work -- the more you have, the richer the experience, so be
> sure you accept friend invites and actively manage the list.
> Participants can enter feedback on RealTime here in the Community Help
> Forums :)

> Thanks guys, have fun!
