Edit: I just checked that video page. For me it connects to at least 11 different parties:
Facebook + its CDN
Youtube + its CDN
Google Analytics
t.skimresources.com/api.track.php
Gawker advertising API
Gawker CDN
Twitter
imrworldwide.com
quantserve.com
chartbeat.net
scorecardresearch.com
criteo.com
doubleclick.net
And your ISP, your DNS service provider, your router manufacturer (yes, some routers intercept traffic and certainly redirect failed dns requests, but might also inject or track other stuff), and of course all running software and browser toolbars/scripts/addins can also know what you visit.And that's just directly, on the background each of those is more than likely to send your information to other advertising partners.
