Youtube has joined the number of sites that launched their shortcut links. For this selected Belgian domain youtu.be.
To create your own shortcut links, you need to activate the AutoShare feature in your Youtube account. After that, the shortened links will automatically cross-post into your feeds on Twitter and Google Reader, from any video you list as Favorites. In addition, you can create shortened links manually by simply replacing part of the URL with “http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=” to “http://youtu.be/” in this way: youtu.be/FdeioVndUhs .
It is clear that such an address does not give special savings (it will be seven characters longer than the Bit.ly link), but it guarantees the link recipient that it will be redirected to the Youtube site. ')
Recall that in the last month, the work of reducing the links goo.gl from Google and fb.me from Facebook began.
