Michael Hoffman of See3 Communications explains the special YouTube Annotations functionality available only to organizations that are part of YouTube's Nonprofit Program (http://www.youtube.com/nonprofits). With this new functionality, organizations can create "buttons" inside the video player that allow their viewers to connect to an external page---their website, a donation page, a call to action, anything!

That is an awesome feature!

Why don't us mere mortals get access to that? :(

The regular annotations on this video didn't show up on my iPhone, but the invisible annotations do. Something to consider as many people will access this type of video via their e-mail on thier phone or through the YouTube App.

@Mattyizkool use a highlighter type annotation and make it black with no text, almost invisible, especially if you make it fill the whole video frame
