Youtu.be Short Links

YOUTUBE - I guess I am in the minority because I dont really have a problem with URL links being too long, but dont think I don't see the shortener wars going on between all the services that do it, like bit.ly which is what Twitter uses. Well now Youtube has gotten involved by employing their own short URL generator. I read the story like 6 times and still dont understand how it works, but if all the links in this post work just fine does it really matter anyway. I know I am a few days late and thats because of the holidays. Good luck out there, and make some killer Holiday videos. That was cheesy.
