What are the top comments based on?
I know a little bit.
But do you guys know?
Well your circles are certainly one of the factors.
I mean, and you can see that yourself,
if you have different profiles or pages with different people
in your circles, can switch those identities.
Can we talk about what a circle is?
I mean, is that OK to go back to that basic,
say what a circle is?
Isn't it a shape?
You want to go ahead and--?
That's cute.
It's a way to gather people together
in groups that you want to interact with
or you want to see their stuff or you
want to be able to share their stuff specifically to them.
Groupings of people that are called Circles inside Google+.
Because if some people are brand new to Google+,
they don't even know necessarily what that is.
There's another Circle that's very commonly used
and should be used.
It's called Public.
The Public Circle.
So when you do a post, you probably
want it to be going to the public
unless your goal is to just have it go to your circle of friends
and not let the public see it.
And that's an important option that's now new
for you inside the YouTube comments area
is when you make a post or when you make a comment,
you can decide do I want this to go to the public circle, which
is this green thing?
Or do I want x that out and just have
it go to my circle of friends that are 15 or 20 or 500
inside?
Our YouTube product manager said that it's also based on like
Peggy said proximity, which is how many degrees of separation
there are between you and that person,
presumably through Google+ circling.
Two is based on recency and how fresh
that comment is, how new it is.
It's also based on how interesting that person is,
they think that person is or how interesting
the actual text in that comment is.
And then it's also based on something else.
What about interaction to that comment?
Let's say, I had something to a comment
on a video that nobody even knows me over there,
but I get a lot of interaction with that.
Will that potentially show up in the comments?
Yeah, potentially.
Yeah.
Yeah.
