Bitly.tv offers up a unique way of ranking videos.
There’s a lot of video search engines out there, there’s also a lot of sites that rank the videos that you should be watching. YouTube is probably one of the biggest ones know, and probably the most searched. Not everything on YouTube is worth viewing, but then again, everyone has their taste. That being said, Bitly.tv is one of those experiments that came out of no where for me.
Does the name sounds familiar?
If you’re used to using URL shorteners, Bit.ly is probably the most popular of them. Their addition of Bitly.tv is a nice compliment to their already existing lineup.

I’m more of a Twitpic man myself. All my Twitpic pictures are of random things I saw such as a cool old train on Sunday or a weird seal chilling in a harbour. The URL which links to my pictures is of course a Twitpic one. But now, what about the millions of other people who upload photos or send links via YouTube to their Twitter. Because twitter allows a maximum of 140 characters per tweet you must make everything count.
Now, Bitly (or bit.ly as you may see it in tweets) is teaming up with Yfrog to provide an image uploading service on twitter. Bitly were given their first big break when their URL was officially built into twitter, replacing the well-known TinyURL. The new image service which will allow users to upload images via the Bitly website and automatically sync it with their twitter is due to be live by the end of the month.
Bitly is certainly getting big now with other companies such as Google (Google Reader) and Typepad now using the shortened URLs as standard. CBS is also using the service on its website.
So, from now on expect to see a lot more Bitly URLs on Twitter.
