P.S. This works in the standalone comment tracker too: http://www.allmyplus.com/hangout-comment-tracker/app.html

Recent Update

Without getting too crazy, this is a very helpful update related to comment tracking, for which my part in the update was to simply tweak a few lines of code to take advantage of work others have done.

Clicking "Comment Tracker" will now:
    ❶ Automatically load the YouTubeLiveID to monitor YouTube comments on the live broadcast
    ❷ Automatically monitor Twitter posts that include the YouTube link
    ❸ Automatically add a G+ Search for the quoted Hangout Topic

In the case of ❸, you'll want to quickly scan the G+ search results on the right and click the "Track comments" icon on the correct G+ Posts in order to add it to the monitored posts. You can then remove the G+ Search item on the left to clean up your results.

This should save some effort on the part of Host/Producers in setting up a useful comment management environment during a potentially hectic time in the production: right as the Hangout is beginning and the topic is being introduced. Note that when you write the book about all this, please attribute the expression "Comment Management Environment", or "CME", to Chad LaFarge (but attribute that part of the tool to Gerwin Sturm ;)... it's his Stand-Alone Comment Tracker that makes this possible).
