Last week google launched it’s URL shortener goo.gl and now YouTube launched it’s URL shortener youtu.be now  all of you can share your videos through this new URL shortener now no need to worry about putting long youtube URL here is how to use it.

To see this feature in action, use AutoShare to link up your YouTube account to social networks like Twitter and Google Reader. Then, whenever you favorite a video on YouTube, for example, that action will get syndicated out to your network, who will see this shortened edition of the video’s URL.

To use youtu.be manually, simply take a URL like

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FdeioVndUhs

and replace the “http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=”

with “http://youtu.be/”

and you will get: http://youtu.be/FdeioVndUhs

Plug that shorter URL into a browser, and you’ll see it redirects to that video.
