Shorten YouTube videos with Youtu.be url
Its just like tr.im or tinyurl which are very famous .
You need to use AutoShare to link up your YouTube account to social networks like Twitter and Google Reader. Then, whenever you favorite a video on YouTube, for example, that action will get syndicated out to your network, who will see this shortened edition of the video's URL.
To use youtu.be manually, simply take a URL like
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FdeioVndUhs
and replace the
"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=" with "http://youtu.be/"
to get:
http://youtu.be/FdeioVndUhs
Plug that shorter URL into a browser, and you'll see it redirects to that video.
Thats now a better service but still, the link shrinked does not become so small , because its still hard to remember link because the url cannot be selected and is automatically generated while uploading video , and not almost like url shortening services like List of all url shortners and similarly of googles own Goo.gl

Pretty useful site, thanks a lot for sharing but the only downside is it's not for everyone, only a selected popular used site are in the selection for wesite shortcuts. But Youtube is a pretty well good example because it is widely used worldwide.
Thanks, this will come in handy for posting my youtube links on sites like twitter that have a limited number of characters to work with.

i guess even facebook guys has started this url shortening service....bt i would really prefer if youtube guys replace the random characters they use to identify a video with something sensible and related.... currently they have chars like Qwr74hdnQ ..would prefer they give it some sensible name
Really very good site. thanks for sharing informative tips with us.
That is a pretty cool feature you tube is launching. Seems like they are doing a lot of new services to help out which it seems like it is about time.
This'll make it easier to rickroll people who already have the URL of the video memorized. :D
