Ever had that problem where a friend tells you to check out a YouTube video that they are interested in but you simply are not? How about playing a game over a YouTube video. At least then you can say something along the lines of "Oh, that was very fun."
Ever since YouTube brought out their 'new' video player that supports HTML5, they threw in a secret game which users could play. But, its still their today, months after release.
There are tons of Twitter tools being sold on the internet promising to up your follower count and basically, grow your Twitter on autopilot but let's face it: Why risk an investment on something that might not work? Personally, that is a non-issue. It's the fact that I'm cheap when it comes to ecommerce. But I finally found a tool that actually does what it says it does.
Twiend is an online network of Twitter, Facebook and Youtube accounts where users exchange follows, likes and views. It's incredible and frankly, genius! Users begin with 15 "seeds" which is the currency for getting follows, views or likes depending on how you choose to spend them. You can get more seeds by either buying them or by following twitter users, viewing videos or liking pages.
Skeptics probably want some proof of concept. I have stats proving that my twitter account went from just 262 follows to over 360 in one night of using this site and I only used the site for about a half an hour.
So what are you waiting for? Get started using your social networking account or by creating one on Twiends!

YouTube is an amazing place on the internet. It's where most of us content creators publish our videos to be shared with the world. In fact, there's so many of us that YouTube reports 24 hours of video being uploaded every minute! Updates to the site are often necessary, however we all know how they've been doing what seems like random and unneeded changes lately. They might be at it again...
Can you see the difference? In this image they've moved the "likes" information and made a couple other small changes. I found this image through MKBHD on Twitter and haven't seen this layout myself, but it could be coming. Why? Why do they need to change those things? Why do we need yet another unwanted and seemingly pointless update? It's bad enough that us content producers experienced decreased views from the homepage update, we don't need or want any more.
YouTube will always make changes that we don't like. They have no reason not to. It's not like there's any other video site with nearly the same exposure or community. We're not leaving YouTube - and they know it.

2. Open MPEG Streamclip. Then, drag and drop your video onto the blue dots.
3. Select File > Export to... I export to MPEG-4 because it does a good job of compressing the video.
4. Select your frame size and any other settings you would like.
5. Click save.
You can also use MPEG Streamclip to convert videos to different formats and change the size of videos.
Youtube hosts some of the biggest internet sensations. One of my personal favorite Youtubers has to be Janne Kaitila (aka Finngamer). Finngamer brings over 168,000 channel views and over 4,900 subscribers. If you are a gamer, you will love his video uploads of his collection and special edition game unboxings. His collection might just make your jaw drop,and recently I had the chance to get a interview with him.
