Youtube Comment Cloud Firefox Add-On

Comments can be very useful wherever they are allowed. To many comments on the other hand make it complicated to get a good overview of the opinions in the comments especially if comments are listed on multiple pages.

Comments at the popular video portal Youtube can get out of hand in both ways. It is not uncommon to find videos with hundreds or even thousands of comments on the video portal.

Opinion Cloud tries to bring order into chaos by creating a cloud of positive and negative opinions about the individual video. The cloud resembles a tag cloud known from web 2.0 websites and is basically the same deal. The tool will extract words from comments and display them in the cloud sorting them by positive and negative comments. A summary is shown at the top displaying the percentage of positive and negative opinions.

Words that have been used more frequently will be shown in a bigger font size to make it easier to weight the opinions. Each word that is listed in the cloud is at the same time a link to all comments that contain it. A click will display the comments on the same page with virtually no loading time.

Opinion Cloud is an add-on for the web browser Firefox that helps users, video creators and marketers on the Youtube video platform.

   This is extremly useful for many video artists around the tube. But I cannot agree on the non-existent loading times. Some videos need around 2-3 seconds to display the whole page.
