Youtu.be now has a url shortner

Hot on the heels of both Goo.gl and Fb.me, there’s now a Youtu.be! Its sole purpose: shorter Youtube links. There isn’t really a lot more to this one, other than a brief explanation of how they work:
• Take the ‘key’ from the end of a YouTube video URL — The key, in the URL http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oHg5SJYRHA0 would be ‘oHg5SJYRHA0′
• Stick it on the end of YouTu.be — and… voila! http://youtu.be/oHg5SJYRHA0 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! Woo!I know what you’re all thinking.
