Marketplace Tech for Wednesday, September 25, 2013
At long last, a tech company has promised to tackle head on a problem it created. Google says it is making tweaks to the commenting on YouTube.

YouTube will allow the person who posted a video more control over the comments section. It will also leverage Google's massive data powers to give people browsing a custom view.
