My understanding is this: sometimes you want to tweet a link to a video. If the video is not already on Youtube, you have to upload it first. The last time that I did this, the following steps were required: - browse your file system for the video (starts uploading as soon as you select it) - while it uploads, fill in the title, description and tags. The title could be your status update, the other fields are not necessary if all you want is to tweet the video. - click submit and wait a few minutes (varies depending on their load) until your video becomes available for viewing - copy the url and compose a tweet including it It would be easy to create a mobile or web app to streamline this process using the Youtube API(e.g. type in your tweet, chose/record a video, submit and forget. We'll fill in the details and publish your tweet when the video is available). It's probably been done. Vidly looks like yet another video site, only it attempts to be Twitter-friendly by incorporating that feature from the start.
