14 DAY TRIAL // Google has announced that it is now possible to link up your YouTube and your Google+ accounts. Which are both, technically, Google Accounts, but not really. While both are powered by Google Accounts, they are separate sites with separate profiles. Read this if you're still confused.
The gist of it is, if you link up the two accounts, you will be able to see what YouTube videos your Google+ buddies are sharing on the video site's homepage.
"Good news: now you can discover new YouTube videos that your friends are sharing on Google+ on the YouTube homepage," Google's Nirav Mehta wrote.
"Head over to the YouTube Settings page and 'Connect' your YouTube Account with your Google+ account to start seeing videos shared with you in Google+ show up on the YouTube homepage," he added.
"After you connect, it'll take a little while for videos to show up, but be patient," he said.
Google has been working on making the YouTube homepage more relevant and interesting to users in the hope that they'll visit it more.
Even though the video site is the largest in the world and is visited by hundreds of millions of people each month, most come, see the video they came there to see and leave.
By having more interesting content on the homepage, YouTube hopes people will visit it more often, discover more videos, spend more time on the site and make it more money from advertising.
For users, it's a way of checking out what videos friends are sharing on Google+ even if they haven't visited the social network in a while or, conversely, if the shared videos have been pushed down by other updates in the stream.
It's also a fresh new source of videos that you have a higher chance of linking ending up on your YouTube homepage, so if you don't know what to watch next, this may be a good place to start.
