The Ultimate Youtube Hacking Compendium

I often find myself needing to use a certain youtube hack or switch that I'm sure I've used before, but can't remember how. This article is meant as a resource for me as well as anybody else who might find it useful.

Branded Short URLs

Short links are great, but wouldn’t it be great to have your own such service, much like New York Times (nyti.ms). It turns out that there are at least three ways you can achieve this goal. We will be looking at Bitly Pro, Google Links and hosting your own.
