Another tool that allows viewing of YouTube w/o ads or comments. Enter a video link, and Safeshare creates a new link to the video in a page w/o the distractions.
Very handy tool lets you share just a portion of an online video. You select the start and end times, and the site gives you both an embed code and link to the video snippet.
Not new, but worth saving--free tool to record and share podcasts via link or embed code. Great for newbies and young students--no registration required.
