Sharing a YouTube video with a friend is as easy as copying a URL into an email message. But what if you want to point out just a short 5 second clip in a 10 minute video? You could send directions saying "fast forward to 3 minutes and 27 seconds." Or you could use Splicd.

Splicd lets you select just the portion of any YouTube clip you want to share and spits out a new URL you an use to direct people to the abbreviated video. Just enter the YouTube URL and the start and end times and click continue.

The only problem with Splicd is that people will be directed to a Splicd page, not the original YouTube page. And if you're looking for embed code so you can share the clip on your web site, you won't find it here. If you attempt to use the embed code from the video, the entire video will play, not just the selected clip.
