After Goo.gl and Fb.me, there's now a Youtu.be! Its sole purpose: shorter Youtube links.
Lets see how it works.
Suppose you want to visit
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XQPIV4YA_08
Then just type http://youtu.be/XQPIV4YA_08 thats it.
The thing is, it's not really all that short. The only real advantage, over something like Bit.ly, is that you now know it's a video and not some stupid meme or phishing attempt. Also, as the YouTube Blog suggests,web developers can use the video key to bring up thumbnails, or embed videos directly. It's also great with YouTube's fairly-new AutoShare option: publish your youtu.be links straight to Twitter.
