YouTube now does HTML5 drag-and-drop video uploads

Google's use of HTML5-powered drag-and-drop in Gmail and Google Docs has made file management via its Web interfaces much easier. Now, the same feature is live on YouTube, enabling users to upload videos by simply dragging a clip from a desktop folder and placing into the dropzone on the YouTube upload page.

As is the case with Docs and Gmail, you'll need to be using a compatible browser to be able to use drag-and-drop uploading. Currently, only Google Chrome and Firefox are supported.
