If your friends post YouTube videos to Facebook, you’ll now see those clips in your timeline on the YouTube homepage. It’s another social mashup that’s blurring the lines between the various social sites.
The new feature isn’t yet live on all accounts, but you can enable it by visiting your account settings page and enabling “Connect to Facebook” (if this is already enabled, you may need to disconnect and reconnect Facebook to see the new feature). Also note that by enabling this you’ll syndicate your YouTube ratings, favorites and uploads to Facebook – if you don’t want that to happen, select “Disable AutoShare”.
YouTube’s social strategy is shaping up: in recent months they’ve added cross-posting of your videos to Facebook and Twitter a friend import feature for your email accounts, and of course the “activity module” (pictured) that creates a real-time feed of all your friends’ activities on the site.
