Linking to a particular spot within a Google Video presentation

Google_video Hundreds of Dreamforce Breakout Sessions are being added to the Successforce site. Many of us don’t have time to watch them all in their entirety, but it’d be great if people highlighted some of the golden nuggets. With Google video it’s dead simple to create a link which skips to an exact time in the presentation.  Here’s a post from the Google Video Blog explaining how it’s done.

To provide a quick example, there was a question in one of my breakout sessions about wanting to build online community but being worried about competitors. Michael Sippey from TypePad had a response at 24 minutes and 40 seconds into the presentation. I wanted people to be able to listen to his answer so I created a link that looked like this...

Pretty cool. It jumps to the exact right spot in the presentation. 

Now it's time for you to find your favorite sound bite from Dreamforce. Create a link like the one above and paste the link into the comments section to help raise awareness for all the great ideas that were presented.
