Dingalink

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Dingalink is a term used to describe a direct link to a specific place in a video. Dingalinks have the ability for users to direct viewers directly to a relevant part of a video, without the viewer having to watch the video in its entirety. They are often used with video blogs when others who write blogs, articles, emails, etc., have the aim of discussing only one segment of an entire video post.

A dingalink is most commonly a piece of HTML (often automatically generated by the video blog) that is a time coded link which takes the viewer directly to the relevant part of the video. The term was named after BloggingHeads.tv technical advisor Greg Dingle, who initially developed the technology for that site.
