Google has enabled a new feature on YouTube which lets you directly share your newly uploaded videos to your friends, followers or readers on Facebook, Twitter, and Google Reader, respectively.

YouTube’s initiative essentially means you’ll now be able to syndicate videos directly into others’ Facebook, Twitter or Google Reader feeds. To do so, you just link your Facebook, Twitter and Google Reader accounts on the ‘Upload’ page inside your YouTube account.

From now on, an automatic message will go out to your feed subscribers alerting them to each new video you upload. Right now, the feature only applies to new videos, but YouTube may expand its functionality to old videos in the future.
