This is an excellent suggestion and something that I had actually implemented in my original version. After using it for a little bit, however, I wasn't a big fan of the long, garbled URLs. I wanted the URLs to be as clean as the site itself. But maybe I should add that functionality back in. Thanks!

I think it's neat. People know what it is when they see it and I think your service might be even more useable...

It would be extremely simple to build plugins around your service as well, because the only thing you need is your URL - then appending any Video ID...

Nice work!
