Figure 20.9 A Facebook profile with a YouTube video added.

If you click the Twitter button, you see the Share This on Twitter window, shown in
Figure 20.10. Edit the text of the tweet as you like, then click the Tweet button.
Twitter generates the tweet, linking to a short URL for the video you selected. Your
Twitter followers can click this link to view the video.
The takeaway here is that you should take advantage of all the features of the major
social networking sites to promote your video with the widest possible network of
online friends and acquaintances.

Tip

You should also promote your video on social bookmarking sites, such as
Digg (www.digg.com) and Delicious (www.delicious.com). When you post a
link to your video on these sites, it will be discovered by a wide range of
other users—thus broadening the viewership of your video.
