YouTube now allows you to add hotspots and notes to your videos.

I did a quick experiment with a Monkeybars screencast and the ability to add additional information is sweet. I can see this as particularly handy for instructional vids where you don’t want to belabor something in the main content, but still want to offer details or linkis to more information.

The video quality is still not quite all that spiffy, but readable. Overall, this is quite nice (but note some of the comments in the above link).
