YouTube search now has its own Wonder Wheel. The Wonder Wheel is a visual navigation tool which Google first rolled out on its main search page a month ago when it added some new search options to filter results in different ways.
If you do a search on YouTube, which on its own would be the second largest search engine in the world, you will see a new option under the search box on the right called Wonder Wheel. If you click on that, your search term appears in a circle with lines branching out to related tags. Anytime you click on a related tag around the wheel, it creates a new wheel attached to the original with its own set of related searches.
YouTube has also added some new features to its advanced search option, including the ability to search by video duration, location, and when it was uploaded. You can also search by category, keyword, video type, and for HD videos only, but those aren’t new.
Thats an awesome addition, it will be much better to go trough the videos, i liked it a lot on google when it first came out with it.
I don’t feel its going to rock on after a few days..
Why? Already there are many videos which have a good title and no relevant video in it. What good would the Wonder wheel do in that situation? Its just a simple new tool which people would enjoy to use to check the creativity used behind it.
The same was Wonder wheel of Google which was at least good for its relevant results.
gimmicky, don’t think this will last very long
Its just a stupid gimick. the whole interface of the wonder wheel is horrible, it takes up so much room on the screen. also it sucks, wtf is iphone magic?
If you have to ask, it kinda proves the point that maybe this makes you notice related tags you wouldn’t have otherwise.
I have been using http://www.xurch.com recently. Wonderwheel vs Xurch looks like this http://img221.y...heelvsxurch.jpg
It’s fun, but not extremely useful.
Would be nice to have something like VisualThesaurus for YouTube tags, instead.
Would be nice if when you click back say 3 bubbles along the path you have created you wouldn’t lose any bubbles after the one you are now viewing.
Funny how youtube associates with just about every video, or in one jump or two, soft porn.
Your Tube’s related videos make it impossible for children to watch anything there. Will this Wheel solve that problem?
Can you really make a living this way?
Lets wait and see if it will be used that much in the next view weeks or months… Only time will tell
Some of these apps had much mor success than expected. Who knows…
Wow, that awesome.
I’ll be using that as one of my keyword research tool.

That’s a cool niche feature. I don’t think it really does anything important.
Wow, that awesome. this is the coolest features.
It won’t be useful, though, it’s not a bad addition.
