Thought this was useful and cool. We often get "(link) go to 1:23 to see the funny thing". I have been waiting for them to add this feature for a long time. Looks like I missed the big news almost a year ago. Better late than never.

Link to a Point of Time Within a YouTube Video
Major hat tip to TechCrunch for sharing with the world a way to link to a certain time point within a video on YouTube.

Take for example this video of a clip from Mr. Smith Goes to Washington.

If you wanted to share the link but have the video start 56 seconds in where the film cuts away from Ginger Rogers in the Senate Gallery to Jimmy Stewart's character speaking and barely standing as part of a filibuster, then you would simply add:

#t=0m56s

Those aren't random letters and numbers. Put the minute number before the letter 'm' and the seconds number before the letter 's' to direct people to the portion of the video you desire.

Now the link is
