YouTube is releasing a ‘feed’ feature that allows its users to see what videos their friends are sharing on Facebook. The videos will appear on the YouTube homepage in the ‘recent activity’ module, provided users are logged into Facebook at the same time. YouTube users can enable the feature by visiting the site’s account settings page.

“By adding the videos your friends are embedding on Facebook into the mix, we're hoping to close a loop with regards to how videos are shared and consumed these days,” says YouTube software engineer Chris Testa.

According to YouTube data, Facebook users watch 46.2 years’ worth of YouTube videos on the social network each day. In contrast, Google’s Orkut users watch 12.7 years’ worth and MySpace users watch 5.6 years
