Shorten YouTube videos with Youtu.be url


        Link shortener services are many available to ensure that those useful URLs you're sharing don't take up too much precious character count while also giving you an inkling of what you're about to click on .And now in the war of URL shortening services ,Youtube have also launched  URL shortens service YouTu.be.
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.

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
