YouTube adds Facebook, Twitter notifications
Upload a video to YouTube and you can automatically notify all your Facebook and Twitter friends. Pretty cool, but this has massive mobile implications: the new iPhone lets you record video and post it directly to YouTube. So it stands to follow you’ll be able to add Twitter notifications straight from your phone, essentially making YouTube the “TwitPic” of video. Or in other words, the de facto platform for video citizen journalism (which you could argue, it already is).
