YouTube may be looking to encourage users to use their real identities and names when posting comments on videos in the future. According to Wired, whenever you upload a new video or post a comment, YouTube will ask if it can use your real identity that has been associated with your Google+ account. Users can opt out of using their real names, although YouTube will then ask why they declined. In addition, YouTube will offer up past comments for review to make sure you want them associated with your real name. Read the full story at Slashgear.
