YouTube launches Digg Swarm-like feature for Related Videos

YouTube's TestTube suite of applications are designed to change how you interact with videos and the people that create them. For example, the Streams application allows you to chat with people who are watching the same video.

The most recent addition to the TestTube family is an application called Warp. Warp is similar to Digg Lab's Swarm visualization tool in that it groups related content by how users are interacting with it.

Hover over a green circle to show related videos. Click on a video to view it, and click close to return to the main screen. The different colored circles in the upper right hand corner allow you to see how videos are related, and to quickly locate a particular group if you wander away from the original screen.

This feature can be enabled for any video while in full screen mode by clicking the button with three circles, which is located to the right of the play button.
