Since its initial launch in early 2005, YouTube has really taken over the multimedia aspect of the web. With over 100 million users each month, equating to 1/5 of the world’s internet users, it is clear that YouTube is the place to broadcast your content to an already-established audience.
They’ve recently launched a new online video editor that allows any YouTube user to create mashups and montages of their existing videos. In this article, I’ll be detailing the process of how to use this, as well as voicing my opinions on the whole process in general.
RSS used to be the preferred method of staying up to date on news and for many it still is. With the advent of Twitter, however, RSS has begun what may be a long and slow death. Though I still check my RSS feeds somewhat regularly, Twitter has primarily replaced RSS in my day-to-day workflow.
For those replacing RSS with Twitter but still enjoying a taste of it in their regular schedule, Snackr is a fun way to “resurrect” the older technology.
JibJab has taken Ecards to a whole new humor and entertainment level, giving them flair and creativeness you won’t find elsewhere. I typically stay away from sending Ecards and go with the traditional card in the mail, but my next one will most certainly be sent from JibJab.

Creating fonts can be tricky and time consuming business, especially for those who are only just starting to explore the font designing world. The crew at FontShop was apparently aware of this and decided to do something about it, developing FontStruct.

More times than I can remember I’ve encountered situations where I need to split, merge or just reduce a PDF’s file size (optimizing). Fortunately I have had Adobe Acrobat (not reader) available the large majority of the time. Unfortunately, however, the PDF’s I’m generally working with are in collaboration with other people who don’t have Acrobat—let alone know how to use it.
Using ILovePDF.com and PDF-Tools.com, it’s never been easier to split, merge and optimize PDFs online. It’s free, available anywhere you have internet access and easy enough for those less tech-savvy to use. In today’s how-to I’ll show you a quick way to split, merge and optimize (reduce file size) PDFs online.
While visiting my apartment leasing office, I was randomly asked if I knew anything about computers. This question is always an interesting one as it tends to go in so many different directions. The issue at hand involved sending a ~90MB video to the corporate office of the leasing agent. While this may seem simple to many of us, it’s a more complicated task for many others.
I took the opportunity to give drop.io a quick real-world test and attempt to answer the leasing reps completely unexpected question. The result was flawless and the leasing office employees were incredibly thankful.
Today’s how-to shows how drop.io takes the complexity out of file sharing and collaboration for people at any skill level to use, along with many other collaboration tasks.

Among the many methods of discovering music, TuneGlue is a fun little application that seems to do quite well. TuneGlue is an interactive music mapping web app for discovering new artists related to a starting artist searched for. Let’s take a quick look at using TuneGlue to find new artists.
