Suppose that, whenever a certain television character entered a bar, viewers changed the channel instead of happily shouting "Norm!"  NBC would have wanted to know, and now YouTube's content creators may gain a similar sort of insight into what users do while watching their clips.

Don't get too excited; it seems that Google's not ready to share solid numbers.  However,

We suspect that the folks who will bother to use this tool already understand the basics of making a good clip, so HotSpots should help them fine-tune things for the better.  Viewers might expect improved lighting or snappier dialogue, in other words, instead of someone trying to hold their attention with explosions every five seconds.

According to Klaassen, YouTube's user base can look forward to HotSpots launching sometime later this week.
