If you want to link to a specific part of a video on YouTube, you can. For example,
[youtube.com...]Notice the �#t=31m08s� on the end of the url? That link will take you 31 minutes and 8 seconds into that video.
This is a great tip for pointing out important parts of a video without making anyone wade through the whole clip.
Thank you Matt!

Notice the "#t=31m08s" on the end of the url? That link will take you 31 minutes and 8 seconds into that video. Linking to a particular minute and second can be really helpful — for example, that link takes you straight to where someone asks Eric Schmidt a question about Twitter.
I feel that this is a big step forward for web video. I understand that Google Video had used the same system earlier. It's good to see it on YouTube.
With FF2, both WebmasterWorld and Matt's blog behave the same... the parameter is not stripped, but the video tends to want to start at the beginning and displays a loading icon as if its trying to get to the designated spot but not quite getting there.
i also just discovered after clicking through mc's blog that you could add captions that get crawled by the search engines: [webmasterworld.com...]
