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.

Tracking personal data is not on many people’s list of favorite things to do. Most of us know how to make spreadsheets and graphs for tracking, but few of us go to the trouble to track simple, daily tasks like how long we exercised or the amount of money we spent on gas. However, to meet our personal goals, data tracking is important.
To keep you on track with your goals and New Year’s resolutions, try Ask Me Every. Instead of having to remember to chart data every day, Ask Me Every sends you a text message asking a question, to which you reply. Your data is then automatically charted.
