Subject: Introducing Collaborative Annotations
Hi guys,

Today, we are excited to bring a new twist to annotations: the ability
to collaborate on them with other YouTube users. Now you can invite
anyone you like to create speech bubbles, notes and spotlights on your
videos.

Enabling Collaborative Annotations is easy. First, go to your
annotations editor (which you can find in My Videos or by going
directly to your video's watch page) and retrieve the special
annotations link. Then send it out to your friends. Once they click on
the link, they will be allowed to add annotations to your video. If
you don't like what they write you can always delete their
annotations, and you can also disable access to the annotations URL so
that no more can be added. Naturally, you can edit or delete anything
you write on someone else's video.

So please give it a whirl and let us know what you think. We can't
wait to see how you take online collaboration to a whole new level.

More info. on the blog post here:

Happy Friday!

Timmy

In addition, we've added the ability to permanently disable
annotations.

Even though we think annotations are really cool and give you yet
another reason to start interacting even more deeply with videos on
the site, we realize some of you are "old school" and prefer to see
just the video and nothing more. For this reason we've added a setting
that lets you permanently disable annotations.

Check out this forums post for more information.

We've also updated the content in the Help Center to reflect this
change: http://help.youtube.com/support/youtube/bin/answer.py?answer=92712

G'day,

Timmy
