<p><a href="http://www.rsc-ne-scotland.org.uk/mashe/utitle/" rel="nofollow ugc">uTitle</a> is an experimental tool which uses Twitter to allow users to make free and timeline based comments on YouTube videos. The original concept is <a href="http://www.rsc-ne-scotland.org.uk/mashe/2010/06/convergence-youtube-meets-twitter-in-timeline-commenting-of-youtube-videos-using-twitter-utitle/" rel="nofollow ugc">explained in detail in this blog post</a>, 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 <a href="http://twapperkeeper.com/" rel="nofollow ugc">TwapperKeepr</a> 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 <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RVp2F6tDWfw" rel="nofollow ugc">(see this video for a demonstration)</a></p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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).</p>
<p>This plugin and the uTitle site are not affiliated with YouTube or Twitter.</p>

<p>Muut represents a complete re-imagination of what internet discussion forums and commenting should be. It’s a modern, fast, highly scalable discussion platform that you can embed onto your WordPress website, and personalize with css to match the design of your site.</p>

<p>Starting at just $16 a month, you have a discussion platform that offers unlimited posts, comments, users, threads — and we never charge you based on usage. That means you’ll never be punished by having to pay more for a successful community.</p>
<p>Whether you’re setting up for the first time or have just updated to the new version of the plugin, you’re going to love what we’ve done to make implementing Muut in your WordPress website easy and flexible.</p>

Watch users’ portraits appear on the fly as they sign in to join the discussion.</li>
<li><em>Latest Comments</em> – Since Muut is so great to use as the commenting system on your posts and pages, the Latest Comments widget keeps track of which posts have received the latest comments and who made them, and all the users on your website can see it update in real-time as they participate in the discussions on all your posts.</li>
<li><em>Trending Topics</em> – If you want to help users stay on top of which posts are getting the most activity on your forum, the Trending Posts widget does just that, with real-time updates to comments and likes—not to mention the trademark Muut green “currently typing” circle.</li>
<li><em>Discussion Channel</em> – You can now embed a single specific channel in your website’s sidebar. Users can watch and join the discussion without having to stop browsing the rest of your website.</li>
<li><em>My Feed</em> – By using the My Feed widget, users can keep track of all the activity on all the discussions they’ve joined and postes they’ve made right in your website’s sidebars.</li>
</ul>
