When you watch a video on YouTube, you may realize that someone you know would be interested in watching it also, and instead of just telling her about it, you could email the video's link in an email message. For example, you are browsing YouTube videos, and you notice one that was shot in your friend's hometown, or you see a video that covers a subject that you both were discussing recently. You can easily copy the YouTube video link and insert it into an email message.
