A co-worker of mine pointed me towards this entry in a blog.
It talks about linking to a specific time in a YouTube video. I’ll repeat here in case you don’t want to link offsite.
Have you ever recieved links to videos that say something like “It gets really good around 1:47”, or something similar?
Now you can link to a specific moment in that video by putting the time as follows in your link: #t=1m47s
What this does, is when somebody goes to that link, it not only starts at the given time, but it doesn’t buffer all the stuff that comes before it, so you don’t have to wait for the part you’re interested in.
For instance, try the following link:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OP1-5uxZffE#t=5m45s (SFW)
That’s just awesome.
