## Description

[uTitle](http://www.rsc-ne-scotland.org.uk/mashe/utitle/) is an experimental tool
which uses Twitter to allow users to make free and timeline based comments on YouTube
videos. The original concept is [explained in detail in this blog post](http://www.rsc-ne-scotland.org.uk/mashe/2010/06/convergence-youtube-meets-twitter-in-timeline-commenting-of-youtube-videos-using-twitter-utitle/),
but the basic idea is video are played in custom interface which lets users ‘tweet’
comments. Part of each tweet includes a hashtag linking it to a specific YouTube
video and a timestamp from the current point in the video. Tweets are stored in 
the [TwapperKeepr](http://twapperkeeper.com/) and temporarily cached on the uTitle
site. When a video is replayed in the uTitle interface existing comments appear 
at the timed points as subtitles and users can also use the timed tweets to jump
to part of the video [(see this video for a demonstration)](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RVp2F6tDWfw)

This plugin allows you to easily embed commented YouTube videos by enabling a uTitle
specific short code (e.g. [utitle mode=1 comment=yes]RVp2F6tDWfw[/utitle]). Options
are available to choose the type of player (see Screenshots) and as well as a choice
to provide a link to invite users to add their own comments.

uTitle essentially works as the glue combining YouTube and Twitter, subsequently
there is no direct control over moderating comments (but it does via TwapperKeepers
configuration conform to Twitter’s deletion policy).

This plugin and the uTitle site are not affiliated with YouTube or Twitter.

    plugins
 2. Activate ‘uTile’ (additional options can be set via the Setting panal)

## FAQ

#### Do I need to register a video with uTitle before it can be commented upon

No. Just include the YouTube video reference in the shortcode and uTitle will do
the rest

#### Can I include other people videos for commenting

Yes. If the video owner has enabled embedding of their video in other sites you 
should be able to enable embedding and commenting using uTitle

#### Can I export comments made using uTitle

Yes. If you visit this link http://twapperkeeper.com/hashtag/{your video id} (replacing{
your video id} with the shortcode) the page includes export options
