Hi all,

We are pleased to announce the ability to "deep link" to YouTube
videos. This means you can now not only link to a YouTube video
itself, but you can also link directly to a specific time within each
video.

To create a deep link, append the following to the end of a YouTube
video URL: #t=1m15s. This says to link to the time 1:15 - you can
replace the numbers before the 'm' and the 's' with anything you like.
For example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zlfKdbWwruY#t=1m18s.

As an additional bonus, if you mention a specific time in a video
comment, e.g. "haha 1:14 is funny", this will become a hyperlink.
Viewers can simply click on the time and the video will automatically
jump to the point you are referencing.

Let us know what you think of deep links. We'll be reading what you
all have to say as we think about ways of making YouTube even better!

Word up,
YouTube Timmy
