Both Google and Facebook released their very own URL shortheners last week. Fb.me and Goo.gl.
URL shortheners are becoming a must have these days and a lot of top brands are jumping on the band wagon.
The worlds largest video site youtube has now released their own URL shorthener youtu.be
Of course the shorthener is exclusive to only Youtube links which is no surprise. Its primarily function is to share youtube videos and channels with friends through youtubes autoShare feature.
This is a great move for the company and may just help sharing a lot as sometimes the links created by Youtube were really long and horrible looking.

November 18th, 2009 murrc2 So you upload a video to youtube and you hope to get views or maybe for it too go viral. But you check a week later and still only the measly 10 views and no comments. You go mad and you hate the fact that no one is interested in your video that is so much better than half the viral videos out there.
Seriously you have to be a big name user on youtube to get your videos to go viral but thats all about too change now.
YouTube Direct has brought social video sharing to a whole new level. In a nutshell, it allows users to post breaking videos directly to the news media. If your video is news worthy, chances are, it would be picked up and broadcast digitally or through the TV. News media is resuming its role as the gatekeeper of information being spread.
This tool would also prove to be useful during events such as disasters, protests and elections. We are soon going to see a powerful marriage between content from users and the reach of news media.
More from YouTube:
“That’s why we created YouTube Direct, a new tool that allows media organizations to request, review and rebroadcast YouTube clips directly from YouTube users. Built from our APIs, this open source application lets media organizations enable customized versions of YouTube’s upload platform on their own websites.
Users can upload videos directly into this application, which also enables the hosting organization to easily review video submissions and select the best ones to broadcast on-air and on their websites. As always, these videos also live on YouTube, so users can reach their own audience while also getting broader exposure and editorial validation for the videos they create.”

November 9th, 2009 murrc2 Here’s the official description of how the song was created:
“The lyrics of the song are made up of YouTube comments, compiled into a song by another YouTuber. The lyrics were released and then YouTubers wrote a melody for the lyrics, and we picked our favourite. We held YouTube auditions via video response to pick the band, found the producer of the song through YouTube, and the music video is made up of literal interpretations of the lyrics, clapping and singing along, by YouTubers!”
