YouTube Gets Useful 'Unlisted' Video Option

YouTube has a "unlisted video" option that allows you to upload a video that can only be seen by people that have the URL. Kinda handy don't you think?

The new "unlisted" option lets anyone with a link to the video watch it, however it won't show up in YouTube's search results, channels pages, or on user profiles. And unlike YouTube's current private video option, the user who created unlisted video doesn't need to set up permissions for who can watch his or her video, just like the watcher does not need to be registered with YouTube to watch it. Instead, all the viewer needs is the URL.
