Aggregate All of your Email and Social Media Contacts
Posted on January 15, 2012 - Filed Under Cool Websites | Leave a Comment
We have contacts saved all over the Web, from multiple email addresses, Facebook, LinkedIn and probably other places we have long forgotten. After nearly two decades with modern Internet access, we still do not have one central place to see all of our contacts.
Neiio Contacts seeks to end the contact-finding chaos by creating one central place where you can store contacts from both social media outlets and email—even multiple email addresses.
Click the Subscribe link on the Neiio homepage. The link is located beneath the login button.
Download YouTube Videos as MP3s and MP4s from a Toolbar
Posted on January 14, 2012 - Filed Under Cool Websites | Leave a Comment
We have found many ways to download YouTube videos as both MP3s and MP4s. However, none of these ways is infallible, and YouTube has started trying to block many of these downloaders. Having several download options is important.
One fairly new option is the YTByClick Toolbar. If you use Chrome, IE or Firefox, you can install the toolbar and give yourself one-click access to MP3 and MP4 downloads.
Click the big red Download button on the YTByClick homepage. Depending on your browser, you may need to give the toolbar permission to install.
Share Converted Text-to-Speech with a QR Code
Posted on January 12, 2012 - Filed Under Cool Websites | Leave a Comment
QR codes are convenient for smartphone users because scanning the code directs the phone’s browser to a specific website without the phone user having to type a URL. We see them everywhere now, from item descriptions in electronics stores to the back of ketchup bottles.
A new way to use a QR file is to have it direct to an audio file. If you have typed text you want to convert to speech, you can share the generated audio file as a QR code with QR Voice.
Backup Documents in the Cloud Automatically

Cloud backups are a trend that is here to stay—at least until something better develops. We can store everything on the Web now, from movies to music to iPhone data. While cloud backups give us peace of mind, many services require us to remember to back up file periodically.
If you are forgetful or just plain lazy about backing up your documents, SurDoc can keep them safely backed up in the cloud with little effort on your part.
Track Who Unfollows You on Twitter
Posted on January 9, 2012 - Filed Under Cool Websites | Leave a Comment
Twitter users have deep anonymity when it comes to who they unfollow. Keeping a detailed record of your followers’ names to compare when you see your number of followers drop is about the only option for figuring out who unfollows you. Very few people have the time to keep such records.
TwitQuit keeps that detailed record for you, then alerts you when someone unfollows you. Alerts include the name of the person who unfollowed you.
Click the red Sign in with Twitter button to start using TwitQuit.
Download Original Thumbnails for any YouTube Video
Posted on January 8, 2012 - Filed Under Cool Websites | Leave a Comment
YouTube is one of the most popular and most linked to sites on the Web. Generally, when you link to a YouTube video, you are stuck with the default thumbnail originally chosen by the video’s creator as your linkable icon. Sure, you could watch the video and try to capture the perfect screen shots, then resize them to thumbnail size, but that takes time and effort.
If you want to find the originally generated choice of thumbnails for any video on YouTube, you can do this easily with the YouTube Thumbnail Generator.
