YouTube Director program ditches limits

No more 10 minute limits for your videos— if you are a legitimate content creator. YouTube had to start limiting videos to 10 minutes because folks were putting entire episodes of stuff online. That's a lot of fun, but not so fun if you're the lawyers for YouTube. So if you're a videoblogger or "legit" content producer (meaning original content) you can sign up for YouTube's brand new Director program. For now, you have to go login or sign up, but they're promising a dedicated page and more info later, possibly even more features. For now, here's what you get as a Director:

• Logo co-branding, company URL, and company description on all of your video pages
• Ability to upload videos longer than 10 minutes
• Customizable name & value fields for each of your videos (ex: "Price: $4.25" or "Show Time: 9 pm PST")
• Ability to attach a per-video URL to each of your videos

That's a pretty good deal for free. Thanks to Carl B. for the tip!
