Playlists are quite possibly the best way to watch YouTube videos. You can line up everything you want to watch, press play and have an evening of free entertainment in front of your computer.
Of course, once you have taken the time to create a good list of videos, you should share it with your friends–it is simply the right thing to do. Sharing your favorite playlist with friends is super easy with YTPlaylist.
To start building a playlist, find the box on the right of the screen labeled YouTube URLs. Click the plus sign beside this box.

Add Tags and Links to Blog Photos
Posted on September 4, 2011 at 5:36 am
Photos add interest to any blog. Most people are attracted to visual images. However, while a picture is worth 1,000 words, it does not always tell the entire story.
ThingLink allows bloggers to add links and tags to any photo, which can help convey a more comprehensive view of what the photo is meant to portray. Plus, it adds a layer of interactivity to an otherwise static blog post.
Click the yellow Sign Up button at the top of ThingLink’s homepage to start using the service.

Set Default Android Apps
Posted on September 3, 2011 at 6:39 am
There are times when you go to open a link or RSS feed and there are several different applications to choose from when opening. Along with a pop-up window asking you to choose which application to use for a specific file type, there is a checkbox that allows you to set it as the default. Once set as the default, that specific file type won’t be played in any other application.
But if you downloaded a new app capable of reading RSS Feeds, you will need to change the Default application, otherwise clicking a feed will continue to open the previously selected application.

Since Microsoft added built-in document-to-PDF functionality to their Office suite, there have been no shortage of document to PDF converters appearing on the Web. Some are better than others, and some are even better than the one built into Office—most of them just do a standard conversion.
Splarchive adds an extra feature to the standard conversion. It converts documents, spreadsheets and presentations to PDFs, then stores them in the cloud for safe keeping.
Click the Join Now link at the top right of the window.

Posted on September 2, 2011 at 6:28 am
Recently, I ran across a problem with my iPad 2 that I had not experienced before: not being able to connect to a wireless network! I’ve had my iPad 2 since it first came out and haven’t had a single issue with it yet! It’s the best gadget I have ever owned. Anyway, I setup a new wireless network in my house and I was trying to connect but kept getting the message:
Unable to join the network [network name]

Posted on September 2, 2011 at 5:02 am
Tablets and e-readers constantly try to simulate the reading experience of a printed book by making digital pages appear to flip when turned. So far, owners of these devices like the idea of digital-page turning, so much so that software developers are looking for ways to make other text-based materials into flippable pages.
Page Flip-flap is a service that not only makes text-based materials flippable, but movies and photos, too.
To start, click the Choose File button and choose a movie, document, PDF, slideshow, picture or zip file containing several of these.
