Get YouTube News Updates
You can keep up to date with the changes and new features happening on YouTube by following Google’s Official YouTube Blog. Recently they announced that you can now share to Google Buzz directly from YouTube. You can also share the YouTube video to your Blogger blog.
I previously talked about how you should Take Control of Your YouTube Activity Settings but these new sharing features are not located on your individual account settings page. These new sharing options for Google Buzz and Blogger appear when you select the “Share” option under any YouTube video you are watching.
Share A YouTube Video To Google Buzz
This is how the sharing options dialog looks at the bottom of a YouTube video. The choices include email, Twitter, FaceBook and a few others.
Please take note: These sharing options are only available from individual videos. They are not available from your YouTube channel. Take a look at the channel options and you’ll see that Buzz is not on the list.
I’ll keep you posted and let you know when Buzz sharing is added to your YouTube Channel.
I’m glad that Google is making sharing from their own products much easier. For example Feedburner FeedFlare Now Posts To Google Buzz helps your readers and blog subscribers share posts directly to Google Buzz too.
Are you following me on Buzz yet? Let me know if you plan to share videos on Google Buzz.

Hey DragonBlogger, Check out Lisa Irby’s video on designing a channel banner. You have to be a YouTube partner but at least it gives us something to look forward to. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZwUCBot-o3o&playnext_from=TL&videos=ptCn1CuZrGo

Thanks for the tips, I wish when you logged into YouTube, it didn’t show you the lame ChannelView, but had your actual video view by default. They should make it easier to grab your video URL’s, like have a listing of them for quick reference (TITLE: VIDEO URL: DESCRIPTION: type of thing)

I understand the importance of Youtube and videos but for me it is still some difficulty. Because we don’t have much faster internet here, I need to wait long for the videos to load and buffer. Still I’m trying to follow the trend.

Hi Alan, please follow me on Google Buzz and check out this post on Ms. Ileane Speaks for more about Google Buzz. Thanks.
I never knew about this before, this is kind of new to me, by words its hard to understand but by the video you have shared it is quite easy to follow.
