Url shortening and tracking service provider bit.ly has launched a cool new feature. Welcome to bitly.tv – the place for webs most linked to videos.
homepage of bitly/tv
As you can see it is a very neatly laid out grid of the most popular videos on bit.y urls. These are aggregated data from its own site as shared by people on Twitter, Facebook, MySpace and other popular social media networks. Stumble upon and Diggs included too.
Once you are on the site they give you the current popular video items. There are options to browse popular videos yesterday and the day before. I had a little problem with the hover function. The whole line of video perks up instead of the particular video you are hovering on. On clicking your video of choice a light box serves you the video with live twitter streaming about the video and option to share the same on Twitter and Facebook. You could also mail it to your friend’s inbox.

The short url market place is heating up lately. Google launched its own sweet goo.gl couple of days ago. Social Media is influencing them all.
