Well Google Video apparantly has allowed anyone to link to any part of a video that they host… so if you wanted someone to watch a video starting somewhere down the timeline you were able to do that. This has been available for a little over two years…

Now you can FINALLY do this with YouTube videos… it’s about time right?

All you have to do is add this code snippet “#t=2m23s” to the end of the YouTube link(not the Embed code but the link you find in the URL field). As you can guess 2m equates to 2 minutes and 23s is 23 seconds… so you’re linking directly to the 2 minutes and 23 seconds into the video.

So anything before the “m” are the minutes and anything between the “m” & “s” are the seconds

Here’s an example(video opens in new window)…

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QEkYqL9n7vo#t=0m44s

As you can see, the video starts at 0 minute and 44 seconds into the video.

As of now it looks like there is no way to embed YouTube videos to play starting and have it start at any point other than the very beginning of the video…

Thanks to Yoon for bringing this up!

Going to be making a video describing our experiment with this company. It’s basically like a google AdSense version and you may find this as an alternate to google AdSense. We plan on giving them a month trial to see how it working of us.  If you’re and advertiser they are offing 20 dollars in free advertising. But we’ll keep you posted on this experiment!

Well our year is up with Lunarpages this coming November. And we decided to keep the site going for another year. Soon after signing up they offered us a special deal that they are offing all new customers which is unlimited bandwidth and storage. Great deals coming from Lunarpages! If any of you would like to join the great community of Lunarpages by getting your own domain name just go to http://www.gomotherrucker.com/lunarpages

Their basic hosting plan is great for new beginners that would like to start blogging, sharing photos, or even starting a small little business.

I don’t know how many of you are web gurus or would like to own your own domain, but about a week ago I got a great email from them showing what they have in stored for new customers. I can’t believe that they are offering the following all for $4.95 a month: 

• Unlimited Storage
• Unlimited Bandwidth
• Free Domain Name for life
• And much more

Check out more great deals that they are offering on their basic hosting plan. They are great with customer support and willing to help. Many tutorials to help you get started.

We created a video on youtube about this service so you can check that out.
