Going through my daily web sites and noticed this from Garett Rogers Blog, link within a video. Essentially by just adding #1m35s to the end of a video url it will start the video at 1 minute and 35 seconds. Looks like a great feature, although it does need more help in the usability side.

I believe you can read the #anchor value with JS....

Yep – it's the location.hash property – and that's how Picasa Web Albums works without reloading the page whilst still offering a permanent link to the photo when you're viewing a slideshow.
