To share a playlist with friends, you normally must find a service that makes playlists, register, make the list (often with limited resources), then invite your friends to register to see the list. Choruzz simplifies this process to just a couple minutes worth of work, with no registration required for you or your friends.
To start making your list, enter a title for the list and click the yellow Create Playlist button.
From the options on the right, enter an artist or song title in the box labeled Add a Song and click the magnifying glass icon.

The beauty of Timeline Movie Maker is its automation. Instead of users having to manually choose photos, videos and other posts to add to the video, Timeline Movie Maker randomly selects content, sets it to music and creates a one-minute, ready-to-share montage of your timeline.

YouTube was once a place where we could peacefully watch videos starring skateboarding cats and nasty honey badgers. We could bounce from video to video, never encountering any resistance other than the occasional slow Internet connection or rogue flaming comment from disgruntled video watchers. It was a beautiful place to squander time—then Google decided to rain on our parade with video advertisements.
If you are a Chrome user and you are tired of the advertisements interrupting your YouTube time, a extension called Skip Ads on YouTube can give you back the peaceful YouTube experience from the good ol’ days.

Sharing your Facebook photos with non-Facebook users (yes, there are still people who do not use Facebook) often means downloading the photos, saving them in a zip file, then emailing them. For the technologically naive, a zip file can pose a challenge, since it must be extracted to fully enjoy the photos.
Another option is to convert your Facebook photo albums into PDFs, which open with virtually no instruction at all. AlbumstoPDF.com is a service that does this the easy way.
