Link to a specific time in YouTube video

Do you feel helpless when you want to send a YouTube video link to someone and want that video to start from a specific time?

There is a solution available now which is called deep link. Append the YouTube video url with something like #t=1m18s. Here it means that the video will start from the time 1min 18sec. You can change the digits before m and s.

So the URL will look like
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zlfKdbWwruY#t=1m18s
instead of
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zlfKdbWwruY

It will also help to save bandwidth because YouTube will start video download from the given time. Unfortunately deep link doesn’t work in case of video embedding.
