Monty Python and the Holy YouTube

Nov/20 in Hot Web Topics

“For 3 years you YouTubers have been ripping us off”

Haha, that is why I love Monty Python!  They have launched a YouTube channel of their very own, where they are serving up high quality versions of all the best of the best of their comedy skits.

What do they want in return?

But we want something in return.
None of your driveling, mindless comments. Instead, we want you to click on the links, buy our movies & TV shows and soften our pain and disgust at being ripped off all these years.

Fair enough, you win this round Monty Python!

How to Search Multiple Video Sites with One Tool

Jun/10 in Online Apps

logo With the many video search helpers out there, it is hard to find one that works and works well.  That is where VideoFetcher comes into play.  Using a search box, an iframe and a little imagination they have come up with a good way to search multiple video hosting sources for material.

Now they don’t win any points for being the best looking service, the design is a ‘bit ugly and bland.  The concept though, of having just about every search provider for video on the left and your results on the right is one that works.

You can also add them to your search bar too in the browser to have easy access to the searching.  VideoFetcher is worth a shot if your find yourself browsing around the video sites in your spare time.

Rip MP3s from YouTube Vidoes

May/04 in Online Apps

Now it isn’t often that I want to take the audio track from a video on YouTube, but the other day I found a collection of wrestling themes I really like to have a few selections from.  So to take the music from the uploads, I found a tool that will get it done.

FLV to MP3!

The FLV to MP3 Online Converter is the tool you want to keep handy.  So far it is still fairly quick with it’s conversion and when it is done doing that voodoo that it does so well it will spit out a .mp3 file for you to save, edit and rename as your own.

As a bonus, also be sure to check out my post on Firefox Facts that covers ripping mp3 files from music shared on MuxTape.com.

Garfield Christmas Special… (without Garfield)

Apr/22 in Hot Web Topics

I must have a deep seeded aggression against orange cats for some reason. Coming from the comments, I got passed this link to the Garfield Christmas Special. The odd thing is that Garfield (and Oddie) have both been edited out of it. Not sure how they did it but it does make for an interesting (and much shorter) version of the story.

Also, not to spoil anything – but make sure you watch it all the way to the end.

Can’t Beat Web 2.0? Copy Them Instead!

Feb/28 in Web Development Tutorials

How does it go again, if you can’t beat them – join them? How about copying them instead? There seem to be a lot of clone scripts out there for some of the more popular destinations on the Web.

invasion-of-the-body-snatchers-movie-poster1 Attack of the Web 2.0 Clones!

* = need to pay for it
** = not really a clone, is the software used to run Wikipedia

See, even you can run your own Web 2.0 masterpiece! All you need is a little time, a solid hosting account and your own origional take, version or spin on the already popular idea.

Turn Off YouTube Spam

Oct/02 in Hot Web Topics

YouTube Spam?

Anybody else getting more YouTube spam lately?

I have noticed a few more trickling in lately – so decided to do something about it. If you go visit your My Account page and hunt for around 10 minutes you will find a link for E-mail Options. From there, you can set YouTube to “Don’t send any emails for the above events”.

Hit save, and you should be all fixed up. No offense lovemeChristy72, your just not my kind of girl though.

Get Download Link for YouTube Videos

Jun/05 in Online Apps

Download YouTube Videos

There are a few videos on YouTube I wouldn’t mind saving to watch later – take this one for example. Come on, I know you could all watch my Web hosting stress relief video all day long. Why go get a new extension to do a job I can do myself with a simple Greasemonkey user script? This is all you need to do – pick up the YouTube Video Download script at userscripts.org for Greasemonkey.

After doing so – you get a pretty little download icon as you see in the image above where you can download any video from the Web site. You’ll get it as an .flv file. Then you can play it in that format using a player like VLC Media Player or convert it to something else.

Web Hosts Need Viral Videos

May/21 in Hot Web Topics, Web Hosting

Now there is no doubt that launching a neat video on the Web is a good way to get attention. The question is, why aren’t more Web hosts doing it? Searching through YouTube there are only a handful of Web hosts that have tried to go down this route. A few of them look like they might have made out big as well.

For the best example, check out this video:

+ YouTube – Hot Girl + Web Hosting = WTF!?!?!

At the time of me writing this, this average (a little boring for my tastes) video has gotten 89,927 views. Web hosts, that could be more than “just a few” new accounts. Now I’m off to go search for a female mascot/spokesperson for the Web Hosting Show. Any volunteers?
