Thanks YouTube for giving us the ability to link directly to a portion of a video. TechCrunch reports that it’s this easy:
Just add the following after the video’s URL: #t=1m45s (where the number prior to m is minute, and before s is seconds).
So let’s take my most popular video, which has a long setup. Now I can link you directly to where the plot picks up and Spencer enters the library with his fart machine:
TubeMogul reports on the short shelf life of online videos (courtesy of ReelPopBlog). While it’s true that 25% of video’s views tend to occur within the first 4 days, this is a bit missleading. First, TubeMogul focused on videos exceeding 1,000 views and the website is used more by serious content creators looking for broad distribution. Second,…

It’s hard to avoid Strike.tv in conversations or a story about new shows. And I’ll admit that I first tried not to like any of it, but I’m now trying to embrace the genre. I’m not there yet. There are a few things that are unnerving about the increasing proliferation of quasi-professional online videos, even…
Ziddio is running amateur video contests where the payoff is cash and appearing on televisions via “video on demand.” When you arrive to the Ziddio homepage you’ll get an auto-load (yuck) video of LonelyGirl35 talking about how you can now do more than “purge your inner creative demons.” Two contests running now. Jedi and “clean…
For no apparent reason (and for the first time) I decided to Google “online video obsession.” What would I find? Turns out this blog was listed #3. Then I decided I needed a post titled “Online Video Obsession,” so I might rise to the #1 listing. It’s only fair. I have been diagnosed as having…

Coolio!
Nalts, you need a “Cool tricks” section. Then add this and the higher quality code and stuff you learned about. Or is the higher quality mode automatic now? I don’t know, I don’t make videos. :o)
Sweet, now my add video can really get to the point! (click)
@5
quit whoring that damn video on this blog!!!!!!!!!
@nutcheese
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!
Very accurate too.
That’s very cool Kevin. If I still made videos, I’d definitely be interested in this.
(actually, nerd that I am, I’ll probably use it for work some day … I am using a Wordle for a brochure cover, and got the idea right here on WVFF)
I just realized that “Farting in Public” has the word “Fuck” in it.
There goes the whole “Family Friendly” aspect of Nalts videos right out the window!!
did you notice you can set a pause point within the video and the video will stop, for about 2 minutes
– so if the viewer isn’t actually watching the video at the time (just listening while browsing other pages) and you decide to add a correction the video will stop playing and hold at that point. When the viewer returns or says, “WTF?!” and clicks the window back up they will see your important message or annotation for a certain amount of time, then they can just hit play to continue on with the rest of the video.
ArtieTSMITW did it in this one, [click]
You Tube expands censorship. [click]
this is crazy that you have to go through all this to share a video.
@2 Tried it. Fake site.
@4 You choose if you want it to always default to high or low, or decide on its own based on bandwidth.
@6 It is kinda time to stop mentioning it. Go for something weirder.
@10 HOW!??
@ 12 sucker!
@12 I can’t tell you how now because You Tube Sucks so much NOTHING’S WORKING!
Do they even test this stuff before they make in available to the masses?
It’s time – I’m going to start calling You Tube GoogleYouTube (GYT) maybe I just noticed this, but all the links for info and service seem to be heading to that address. When I click on a page say, “wtf, why isn’t this working again!” aka “Help” it goes to a google/youtube first then redirects to youtube.com
i.e. try it
..-http://groups.google.com/group/youtube-help redirect to …-http://help.youtube.com/group/youtube-help
btw, how long has google owned youtube anyway?
oh, wait I remember now! [click]
Why would anyone link to a Nalts video?
@12: Look in the video annotations page. There is a pause button
@14 because his videos are cool! Dur!
Speaking of cool stuff, check this out. My momma has been incorporated into an online game:
