YouTube has some kind of tracking system which adds feature to the link depending upon the source. For example, in the following example, from the feature I know that it is from the sidebar (related questions)

www.youtube.com/watch?v=XXX&feature=related

My question is when the url with feature=g-like is generated?

&feature=g-like is generated when you visit your own liked video feed.

Visit YouTube, sign in and then go to the home page clicking the logo of YouTube where it shows you your social feed. There, click the like button beside your profile picture, as highlighted below:

Hover over or copy the URL of any of those videos YouTube says you liked and you'll see &feature=g-like appended to them.

That’s not what the OP asked (he already stated what you are saying in your answer). He’s asking what does g-like in particular mean. – Alex May 31 '12 at 12:23
