Discover Movies You Should Watch with HelloMovies

2010-06-18T11:08:00.001-07:00

Calling all film and movie fanatics – which is your online home for movie information and its sharing? Please don’t say IMDB or RottenTomatoes. I agree these two and a few others are almost encyclopedic movie sites and first stops for things that are cinematic. But there are some movie and film sites that have grown up in the shadow of these biggies.
HelloMovies is one such Web 2.0 app that helps to narrow down on which movie to watch next. HelloMovies is very similar to Jinni in the way that it can search and recommend movies. That’s not surprising because both dig deep into the Movie Genome project for its search power. You can read a lot about the Movie Genome project in Wikipedia, but here’s a gist.

The Movie Genome is a way to tag all movies based on genre, mood, tone, plot, tastes etc. The index is generated from the words people use to describe a movie in internet discussions and reviews. All that web shoveling has resulted in a database that’s 22,000 movies strong and is swelling up with every release.
That’s the source of HelloMovies power. Now, let’s see how it benefits us, the film fan.
With HelloMovies you can…

Find out which movie to watch.
Find out where to watch it online.
Find out what others are watching and share notes with them.

Finding out which movies to watch is the core job of the search feature on the site. There are many ways you can reach into its database and get the right movie for your taste or mood. You can search by Genres, Tastes, Release Year, Language, or Awards. You can use them one at a time or in combination like filters. You can further sort the results by release, recommended, popularity, or rating.

Or you can directly use the search bar (with auto-suggest) on top. I don’t, because I hate missing out on the cover flows of the related movies. The search box also leads to an Attic search, that is a listing of movies with the keywords in the title.

All of the information on one neat page

That’s one of the most organized aspects about HelloMovies. You get a brief synopsis with a mouseover on the poster. Click on your choice of movie and you get the full info about the movie. I won’t be able to put down everything here as you can see for yourself. But there are a few things you can focus on immediately.
HelloMovies describes the movie with a few adjectives under Tastes. The attributes along with the Genre frame the type of movie perfectly. These attributes are linkable and with a click, they will take you to other movies with the same qualities. The Trailer gives you a preview. Some movie pages though do not display trailers for lack of availability. Clicking on the white buttons helps you with recommendations to your friend list or adding it to your personal watch list for later viewing.

As you scroll down, you can roam your eyes over the ratings from IMDB and Critics Choice (from BFCA). If you are a film buff, these scores are instant indicators of movie worthiness. Then, further below, you get to read first-hand user reviews and those from sites like IMDB.

From the Recent Activity lookup, you can directly connect to others interested in the movie. What’s the world saying about the flick? Get the news from Twitter and Google News with a click.

Watching some movies online

Though not all movies are available for online viewing, you can source the ones which are available from the single click functions available under Where to Get It. The sources range from Hulu, YouTube, Veoh to subscription based sources (Netflix) and other DVD on-demand sources like Amazon. You can use the Where to Get It choices along with the other filters ranged above and below it.

The nerve center lies in the profile page

The user profile page is the starting point for building your own community of friends. It is almost Facebook-ish, with a Wall that displays what others post on your profile. You get to follow your friends’ movie liking-hating activities. Then there is the playlist which is your own watch list of movies that you are planning to see.

There’s a fun user activity monitoring feature that awards you points for rating movies, uploading movies, inviting users, uploading posters and trailers, reviewing movies, etc. You get to move through levels — starting from Newbie, through Movie Star and end up at the apex as a Godfather. For all that, you get rewarded with free gifts like HelloMovies Bumper Stickers, T-shirts, and even free tickets.

That will certainly keep me interested. I have seen my share of movie sites but I still like a slick way to get the scoop on a movie of my choice. HelloMovies makes it uncomplicated and right from the moment you land on the homepage, it’s a matter of 2-3 clicks.
Right now, I am happily clicking away on the movies I plan to watch. What about you?

Connect To Radio Stations on The Internet From Any Computer with RadioSure

2010-06-18T11:07:00.000-07:00

I have loads of portable software not only on my USB drive, but also on my PC. There’s something uncomplicated about them. While video and mp3 takes over our senses, we forget that the listening experience of radio is still a part of the airwaves; or the digital waves that makes up the internet.
As I listen to Jazz guitarist Peter White in the background, let me introduce you to RadioSure. RadioSure (ver.2.0.886 ) is an internet radio player and a really cool and simple one at that. This attribute along with its unzipped size of 4.57 MB makes it a great media software to include in your portable apps lineup.

You have a choice of an installer version too, but the portable version comes without the hassle of an installation and can be run straight off a USB drive. RadioSure runs on Win XP/Vista/7.
But the yardstick of a great portability loops back to how good the app really is. That’s where RadioSure is pretty much surefooted in its performance. So, let’s tune it up and catch a few song streams.

A Clean Simple Look

The radio interface is as simple as it can get. The design is like a traditional media player. You have a small button on the right corner that can collapse or expand the radio interface.

The Options On Stations

12,120 radio stations on the Internet from across the globe are enough for even an ardent audiophile. The stations are listed by name, country, genre, and language. Alongside the station names, you also get the bitrate of the radio stream on offer for some of the radio stations. You get to hear lots of FM stations too which stream online.
RadioSure supports most audio formats like mp3, wma, ogg, vorbis, aac, and more. The track and the singer are displayed on the interface, the title bar and the status bar.
Got your own radio station on the Internet? Add it to RadioSure by adding a few details.

Picking The One To Hear

You really need good and precise filters to narrow down to the station of your choice. RadioSure doesn’t make it obvious, but choosing stations from the 12,000+ on offer is easy. Use the little search box on top and narrow it down. Or you can go with the filters.

Right click on the column heads and check any of the filters that are available. You can use the search and filters in combination to quickly narrow down to the right station. Clear the search field and the filters to get the entire 12,000+ strong list of radio stations again.

Recording From The Stream

Recording tracks while it’s streaming into your computer is also uncomplicated. You just have to toggle the red button to start and stop recording. RadioSure’s Options has a Recording tab for more hands-on control with setting a custom folder, choosing a bitrate, splitting recordings by track, and avoiding duplicates.

You can open up multiple instances of RadioSure and simultaneously record multiple radio stations on the Internet.

Skin It!

Skinning is a must have for all media players. So it is with RadioSure. There is a whole gallery of skins developed by others and made available on the site for free or paid downloads. You can even make yours and upload it to the site for sale.

The Listening Experience

The sound quality of course depends on your bandwidth (and the station). I have a slowpoke 256kbps connection and I can vouch that the buffering and streaming is more than adequate. Bandwidth is a variable, but what’s impressive is the smooth switching between stations.
You can polish it further by ticking on crossfading and volume normalization from the General tab under Options.

RadioSure lacks a full fledged graphic equalizer but it has presets like jazz, pop, rock, and classic.
Internet radio comes with the rider that you will hit and miss some stations while browsing. With RadioSure’s large list of stations globally, you can dip into the radio stream and come away with something.
RadioSure lacks a help file but with the simple features, you really don’t need one.
Play it by the ear and let us know your impressions on RadioSure ver 2.0.886 (portable or the installer version).
Compare it with something like the online RadioTime which we have covered earlier or Screamer Radio. Then there are The 3 Best Online Radio Players for Your Desktop.

Google TV

2010-06-18T11:05:00.001-07:00

Television, as we know it, is changing. Just look at developments like DVR, Movies On Demand, Netflix Instant Watch, and Hulu – “old TV” is going away, and “new TV” is interactive, available whenever we want, and portable. Never missing an opportunity to integrate into in a new market, Google announced Google TV at this year’s Google I/O convention.
Google states that 4 billion people across the world watch TV – but many of us are not getting the modern experience we expect of media in the Internet Age. With Google TV, Google plans to combine the familiarity of “old TV” with the freedom and power of the internet.
But what is it exactly?

What is Google TV?

As with any exciting new technology, it isn’t always clear what it actually does. The goal of Google TV is to turn television and web into a seamless experience, giving you access to online content and videos from the comfort of your living room.
Google puts it this way: the traditional way to watch a television show is to wait for it to air on a network, meaning you change your schedule to match that of the show you want to watch. The internet breaks that barrier, allowing you to watch shows whenever you feel like through outlets like Netflix, Hulu, and YouTube.
With Google TV, you can watch online content out of the confined space of your computer’s monitor and instead play it on your TV – together with standard TV content.

Getting Google TV

Google is working with companies like Sony and LG to integrate Google TV into televisions and BluRay players which will be available exclusively through Best Buy. If you alredy have a TV or BluRay player, you can instead purchase an external Google TV box that will connect to your TV via an HDMI connection. The great news: the Google TV service will be offered completely free (minus the cost of hardware).

Future plans have also been announced that Google TV will integrate with video game consoles, like Netflix has done.

Searching and Browsing

Google TV will include a powerful search engine (of course) so you can easily find the shows you’re looking for without browsing through lists and guides. When you find a show you want to watch or subscribe to, you can quickly add it to your home screen which makes it just like a traditional TV channel. Google TV merges content from sources like Netflix, YouTube, sports websites, and many other sources along with your traditional television content, so everything is available in one central location.
A full version of Google’s Chrome browser will also be included with Google TV, so you can browse the internet just like you would on your computer. You’ll also have access to your photos and web applications like Pandora.

Apps

This is exciting news for Android fans: Google TV will include the Android Market so you can download and install Android apps right to your television. Beyond that, you can use your Android phone as the remote control for your TV, including voice search.
Popular Android applications like Google Listen will be updated to provide many more features for Google TV. The best part about including the Android Market is that new features will constantly be added to your TV, as we’ve seen with Android phones.

Google TV itself is based on Android 2.1 and Google Chrome software. Google has stated that the Google TV software will become fully open-source in 2011.

Multitasking

Multitasking is a big deal for most people, and Google TV will not disappoint. With this software, you’ll be able to watch a TV show in the corner of your screen while browsing the internet with Chrome. Google TV will also be able to interact with hardware you already own like a DVR to schedule recording of TV shows while you continue to watch TV as usual.

Automatic Subtitles (with translations)

Using Google’s tremendous translation and voice transcription resources, Google TV will be able to automatically generate subtitles for content and even translate those subtitles to your native language (as long as Google supports the language).

Availability

Google TV is slated to be released to customers in the United States this fall, and international expansion will take place throughout 2011. The Android Market for Google TV will also launch in 2011.

Conclusion

The announcement of Google TV is exciting and really broadens our concept of what we consider television. Since it includes Android software, the sky is the limit for what developers can do – I expect dozens of new features to appear after the Google TV Android Market opens.
Are you excited about Google TV, or are you worried it will be doomed to the same existence as Apple TV? Would you buy a new TV for Google TV or just the companion box? Share with us in the comments!

Ways To Sync Your iPod To Computer Without iTunes

2010-06-18T11:01:00.000-07:00

There has always been one universal constant for purchasers of an iPod – that they would be using Apple’s iTunes to sync it. Apple’s iTunes has been downloaded millions of times and is adored by many, but what if you’re looking for an alternative?
Last year, we covered a similar topic entitled 6 Ways To Sync Music To Your iPhone Without iTunes. The article was very popular and it covered 6 great applications. There has since been many capable alternatives to iTunes, each program having its own pros and cons.
In this article, I am going to cover some of the best free alternatives to using iTunes to sync iPod to computer without iTunes.

[Note]: Depending on which model of iPod you own, you may want to still keep iTunes around for firmware updates, application downloads, and other advanced features that one or more of these programs may not be capable of.

Floola (Cross Platform)

Floola is a freeware application that will effectively manage your iPod’s music, videos, podcasts, and photos. It is a standalone application that can be run directly from your iPod and needs no installation under Windows, Mac OS X, or Linux. The current version supports every type of iPod except for the iPhone/iTouch.
Floola supports almost all of the features offered by iPods. It can convert incompatible audio and video files, add YouTube videos to your device, and sync Google Calendars. With Floola you can copy almost any file to your iPod. It is also very easy to uninstall, which makes it worth giving a try.

Songbird (Windows & Mac)

Songbird is a Mac and PC compatible application that handles all of your digital media management needs. It is an open source media manager that will sync your music, video, and photos to and from iTunes with ease.
Songbird allows you to set up watch folders to keep Songbird in sync as your media changes over time. It also supports hundreds of add-ons that can add features, integrate services, and customize the application. We have covered Songbird a lot in the past. Just click here to see the search results.

Amarok (Cross Platform)

Amarok is a powerful music player that is supported by Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux. It has an automated playlist generator, a similar artists and upcoming events applet, and support for the Last.fm database. Amarok is integrated with a lot of web services and features support for all iPods.

EphPod (Windows)

EphPod is a full-featured Windows application that connects with Apple’s iPod. It supports standard Winamp playlists and will synchronize an entire music collection with one click. It imports Microsoft Outlook contacts and can download the latest news, weather, e-books, and movie listings to an iPod.
On the download page it is noted that EphPod may not work properly with new iPods, but it is worth investigating.

YamiPod (Cross Platform)

YamiPod is yet another cross platform iPod manager that is supported on Mac OS X, Windows, and Linux. Like Floola, it is a standalone application which requires no installation. Your iPod is automatically recognized and synced with your computer. It supports multiple iPods and can copy/sync your music, playlists, and song lists.

Banshee (Linux)

Banshee is packaged for many Linux distributions and is even the default media player for several. According to the site, it will soon be available for Windows and Mac OS X as well.
Banshee allows you to sync your music and videos to your iPod, Android, and other devices. It supports audio, video, podcasts, album art, playlists, and more.

Conclusion

As I mentioned previously, we wrote a similar article last year for syncing music to the iPhone. Although I did not cover any of those applications in this article, I strongly suggest you explore those options as well because they are still relevant and continue to be viable alternatives to iTunes.
What did you think of the programs provided? Will you be ditching iTunes for one of these installations? I would love to hear your thoughts and ideas in the comments section below.

10 Weblinks To Catch The Football Fever At FIFA World Cup 2010

2010-06-18T11:00:00.000-07:00

Did you know that the lowest number of spectators for a match was 300 for the match between Romania & Peru in the first World Cup held at Uruguay? That was 80 years back.
You can be sure that it’s a record that’s never going to be beaten because we are talking about the most popular game on Earth – football. The last World Cup held in Germany had a global viewership of 26.3 billion.
If you match it with the number of nations participating, the FIFA World Cup 2010 matches the last Olympics. That’s counting the qualification process that involved 204 countries in all. The 2010 World Cup, a month long football carnival will have kicked off in South Africa by the time you read this.

Just to gauge its popularity, popular media is going to be filled to the front pages with football World Cup news. If you scan papers, you won’t even have to come online to get your daily fix of World Cup news.
If you do decide to switch on, here are ten places to visit to catch everything that happens between the first whistle and the last.

Wikipedia

That’s where I will go if I am a total football ignoramus who gets caught in a bar argument. One long page helps you to get familiar with what’s what on the World Cup in particular and football in general. I am pretty much in the know on football, but I did learn that Sony would be capturing 25 of the matches in 3D. Wow!

Google

We all head there with a browser launch. But Google is sure to reserve something special for the football event. Type ‘World Cup’ into the search bar and you will get the day’s schedule fixed for your local time. Google updated its search with Caffeine, so expect better (and fresher) real time results with any search on the football World Cup.
Google is in no way going to be caught left footed at the FIFA World Cup. We had a Doodle for the last Cup. For this one you get a long ‘Goooooal!’ when you type ‘World Cup’ into the search. Head down to where the page numbers for the search pages are.

I am sure there will be others too as the Doodle 4 Google competition is on.

Google Maps

You can end up going around South Africa like a virtual tourist. All ten stadiums and the nine host cities are covered on Google Earth and Google Maps. You may not have the tickets to the matches, but you can go right down to the ten stadiums, thanks to the 3D imagery on Google Maps and Google Earth.
On Google Earth, turn on the 3D buildings layer.

Picnik

Football fever is on at Google. Check out the ways you can add football colors to your photos. All 32 nation colors are covered. Take your pick with Picnik.

YouTube

YouTube isn’t broadcasting live streams of the FIFA World Cup, but there are some places to go and catch the World Cup fever. Here’s a selection. Feel free to add your own favorite YouTube links in the comments -

Mashable has a good nostalgic post on the 10 Best World Cup Goals on YouTube.

Go Fans is a football sweepstakes announced by VISA who are sponsors of the World Cup. You can participate for free by viewing and uploading great World Cup moments. Winners get a trip to see the next World Cup in Brazil. The competition is open to residents of the United States, Japan, Mexico and Brazil.

Nike ads really pump up the adrenalin. Catch the Write the Future video and get football inspired.

Waka Waka (This Time for Africa) is the song that will flag off the World Cup. Tune in to Shakira and the South African band Freshlyground. Watch it in full HD glory.

Street Soccer Tour is kind of a World Cup sideshow but it’s fun to watch on YouTube. Edgar Davids (a Dutch professional footballer) takes his team across Europe and Africa to battle the best local teams in rounds of street soccer.

ESPN – SoccerNet

ESPN is providing umbrella coverage to the 2010 World Cup. The other things on its extensive sports menu are live streaming via its broadband network for live sports programming. You will be able to catch it if your ISP carries ESPN3 in your area. ESPN also has an iPhone app but it’s not free. So the SoccerNet website is the place to be for free updates.

Goal.com

Goal.com provides a free toolbar for download which delivers soccer news straight to your browser. You get the latest with the help of a news ticker. You have a large forum which already has nearly 3,000 posts. That’s all apart from the website’s regular fares and live scores.

LiveSoccerTV

LiveSoccerTV.com lists soccer TV schedules available in the US, Canada, and the UK. Web viewers across the world can catch live streaming football matches on the browser. If the live broadcast is available for your region, you can learn the schedule and watch it on LiveSoccerTV. I couldn’t yet check out the site in live action as the World Cup is yet to start but it seems like a good free deal.

World Cup Blog

As the About page says – it started off with the World Cup in 2002 when ‘three intrepid football fans stayed up until the middle of the night writing about the games they were watching and the player haircuts that horrified and amused them’. So we can expect the same daily dose of offbeat football news this time too.

FIFA.com

It’s the mouthpiece for everything that’s football around the world. Be sure to catch breaking World Cup news here. As the tournament goes on, check out the popular videos and photos sections for some exclusives. Stay updated on how’s each team is doing from the standings page. FIFA’s official Twitter account is @fifaworldcuptm.

Waze Worldcup Challenge

Ok, this one is a bonus competition from Waze (Free turn by turn navigation application for mobile). Like in the regular worldcup competition, the users will be competing tournament style, in different phases of the game. Soccer balls will be distributed all over the map and the countries that munch the most soccer ball road goodies will advance to the next round. Three iPads will be given out to the final winners. The game sounds interesting and fun, and there’s no reason not to give it a shot.
So, where will you be for the next month? Let us know the web places you might visit if the TV goes on the blink. In the meantime, I will leave you with this cool FIFA World Cup 2010 calendar to stay on track for the next month.

The next Apple TV revealed: cloud storage and iPhone OS on tap... and a $99 price tag

2010-05-28T22:29:00.000-07:00

355diggsdiggIf you thought that Apple's foray into the world of home entertainment died with the last iteration of the Apple TV, you're quite wrong. A tip we've received -- which has been confirmed by a source very close to Apple -- details the outlook for the next version of the Apple TV, and it's a doozy. According to our sources, this project has been in the works long before Google announced its TV solution, and it ties much more closely into Apple's mobile offerings. The new architecture of the device will be based directly on the iPhone 4, meaning it will get the same internals, down to that A4 CPU and a limited amount of flash storage -- 16GB to be exact -- though it will be capable of full 1080p HD (!). The device is said to be quite small with a scarce amount of ports (only the power socket and video out), and has been described to some as "an iPhone without a screen." Are you ready for the real shocker? According to our sources, the price-point for the device will be $99. One more time -- a hundred bucks.

Not only will this be priced to sell (like hotcakes), it seems that Apple is moving away from the model of local storage, and will be focusing the new ATV on cloud-based storage (not unlike Amazon's streaming scheme, though we're talking instant-on 1080p, a la Microsoft). For those still interested in keeping their content close, there will be an option to utilize a Time Capsule as an external storage component, but the main course will be all about streaming. The new ATV will do away with its current OS X-lite variation as a operating system, and will instead adopt the iPhone OS for the underlying experience. There's no word at this point on whether apps and the App Store will be coming along for the ride, but it makes sense given the shared platform. Of course, scaling iPhone apps to that 52-inch plasma in your living room isn't exactly a no-brainer. Perhaps not surprisingly, Apple won't deliver the ATV news at the upcoming WWDC -- that event will be focused on the capabilities of the new iPhone -- but development on the product is most definitely full steam ahead. Is your TV screen the next battleground in the platform wars? Survey says: hell yes.

9 Websites To Show You The Hottest Stuff on Twitter Now

2010-05-28T22:20:00.000-07:00

We’ve already taken a look at how to find currently popular online stuff from different sources, but there’s no denying the magnitude of content that can be found in just one place – on Twitter. There are countless ways to filter through the noise, and find the tweets about stuff that matters to you, whether it’s based on a specific topic or based on popularity.

In this article, we’ll take a look at search Twitter for the most popular stories by the number of retweets or favourites a tweet receives, as well as how to find specific kinds of interesting information on Twitter.

Search Twitter For Information Based On Popularity

TweetMeme

There are a variety of services for finding the most retweeted blog posts, stories and articles linked on Twitter, the most popular and influential of which is TweetMeme. Stories on TweetMeme can be browsed by the most popular from all categories in the past 24 hours, the past 7 days, or by specific categories including Entertainment, Comedy, Gaming, and Technology amongst others.

Content can be further broken down by News, Images and Videos. TweetMeme also allows you to keep up to date with the content on their site by subscribing to their RSS feeds. TweetMeme is also searchable if you want to find the hottest stories on specific topics.

Logging into TweetMeme with your Twitter account will then enable you to retweet the stories that you want to share with your followers directly from within their website.

TweetMeme also have a few extra goodies for users including a bookmarklet, a retweet button or chicklet for your blog posts, and plugins making it easy to incorporate the button on your blog.

DailyRT

DailyRT takes a similar approach to TweetMeme, by ranking the most popular Tweets in the past hour, 24 hours or 7 days. The difference however, is that the content is not limited to blog posts and articles, but also includes the most popular tweets in general.

This does have its downside of course, as the most popular tweets are not necessarily the most informative. Using their search feature however allows users to harness the information found on DailyRT and get the most out of it. One interesting feature found on DailyRT includes the ability to search for the most retweeted items from specific users.

Logging in with your Twitter account allows you to retweet directly from the website, but gives you no choice in the wording, and each retweet includes a direct link to the DailyRT homepage. DailyRT has a list on Twitter of the 50 most retweeted members on Twitter.

Thoora

Thoora is another site that plugs into the information on Twitter letting people know what the most popular stories are, but it also gets its statistics from the number of blog posts and news articles covering a certain topic. Each article is accompanied by the number of retweets as well as the number of articles or blog posts found online.

Information is broken down into categories including Business, Controversy and Sci/Tech, amongst others. Stories can also be browsed by the newest developing stories, stories that are currently popular and by those that have been popular for the past week.

Signing up for an account allows you to share the content on Facebook, Buzz, Twitter and via Email, and discuss the stories on the website. Opening up any given story is where Thoora truly excels in comparison to other similar sites. It provides users with statistics on the story, recent tweets about it, links from blogs and official news sources.

Finding Tweets With The Most Favourites

Favstar

Another method of tracking popularity on Twitter is keeping track of how many favourites any given tweet has. Favstar does just that. This might not necessarily lead to a wealth of information and links, but it’s interesting and funny nonetheless. The website gives users a way to pass some free time, reading jokes, interesting witticisms and commentaries on current affairs, and you’ll even find the occasional link to an article or video.

Tweets are divided into popular, rising and new. Signing in with your Twitter account allows you to quickly follow interesting users featured on Favstar, add tweets to your favourites, and even retweet. Favstar should however come with a warning that it is not at all PG. Favstar also has a three lists worth following – Tech and Social Media Tweeters, Celebrity Tweeters and Funny, Entertaining or Insightful Tweeters.

You can also search Twitter for specific users to see which of their tweets have received the most favourites. The website is available in English, German and Japanese.

Finding Job Listings

Micro.Vois

Micro.Vois features tweets relating to freelance work. Tweets listed on the site are divided into users looking for freelancer work, and users who are looking to hire freelancers – and it does so in a very simple way. Micro.Vois uses Twitter’s hashtags to label the tweets, using #havework or #wantwork to distinguish the tweets from the rest of the chatter online.

The listings can also be further narrowed down by profession, with web development, programming, graphics, writing and miscellaneous jobs.

TweetyJobs

TweetyJobs is another site that features job listings mentioned on Twitter. One main difference between Micro.Vois and TweetyJobs is the fact that the latter is searchable. You can search for a specific job title in a specific city or zip code, and filter the results into either listings from corporate sites or Twitter.

Finding Items for Sale

TwitShop

TwitShop is another listings site that uses Twitter’s hashtags to aggregate its information. If you have an item for sale, appending the hashtags, #forsale, #4sale or #auction, will ensure that your tweet shows up on the site.

TwitShop is searchable, so if you want to buy something in particular from another Twitter user, it’s easy to find.

CheapTweet

CheapTweet, like TwitShop, aggregates items that are for sale on Twitter. It features listings in a variety of categories including Tech, Food and Home & Family, amongst others. Not only does it provide you with listings, but users can also vote on how good a deal each listing is.

Finding Popular Music

We Are Hunted

We Are Hunted is a slick site which combs Twitter, along with other social media sites like Facebook and MySpace to give you a list of the 99 most popular songs at the moment. If you want to listen to all 99 songs, simply start at number 1, and it will automatically play through the entire list. You can also limit the results to only the songs that are popular on Twitter.

It also allows you to share any given song on Twitter, Facebook or via email. If you want a more extensive list of what music is currently popular on Twitter, check out David’s article on using The Hype Machine to do just that.

In the the future, we’ll take a look at more ways to search Twitter to get the most out of the content, including finding out what new movies are popular on Twitter, how to find personalised content for you, and sites that list all the information available on specific topics.

How do you find the content that matters to you on Twitter? Let us know in the comments.

Hack E-Mail Account Password - Email Hacking Software

2010-05-28T22:16:00.003-07:00

How to Hack E-Mail Account Passwords Using Trojans and Keyloggers

I've been posting a lot about Email Hacking on this blog. Now you know that there are many ways to hack email password, like bruteforcing, social engineering or Reverting, but the main two methods used to hack email passwords are Remote Keylogging and Phishing. In this article i'll show you how to hack email account password using keyloggers and trojans. Here I am demonstrating using PRORAT trojan. You can use any trojan or keylogger as per your ease. The basic functionality of all backdoors are same. Pls make note that all these hacking tools and softwares are detected by antivirus. You have to uninstall or close you running antivirus first. Now we can start.

How to Hack Email Account Passwords Using ProRat?

1. First of all Download ProRat. Once it is downloaded right click on the folder and choose to extract it. A password prompt will come up. The password will be "pro".

2. Open up the program. You should see the following:

3. Next we will create the ProRat Trojan server. Click on the "Create" button in the bottom. Choose "Create ProRat Server".

4. Next put in your IP address so the server could connect to you. If you don’t know your IP address click on the little arrow to have it filled in for you automatically. Next put in your e-mail so that when and if a victim gets infected it will send you a message. We will not be using the rest of the options.

5. Now Open General settings. This tab is the most important tab. In the check boxes, we will choose the server port the program will connect through, the password you will be asked to enter when the victim is infected and you wish to connect with them, and the victim name. As you can see ProRat has the ability to disable the windows firewall and hide itself from being displayed in the task manager.

Here is a quick overview of what they mean and which should be checked:

6. Click on the Bind with File button to continue. Here you will have the option to bind the trojan server file with another file. Remember a trojan can only be executed if a human runs it. So by binding it with a legitimate file like a text document or a game, the chances of someone clicking it go up. Check the bind option and select a file to bind it to. A good suggestion is a picture or an ordinary text document because that is a small file and its easier to send to the people you need.

7. Click on the Server Extensions button to continue. Here you choose what kind of server file to generate. I prefer using .exe files, because it is cryptable and has icon support, but exe’s looks suspicious so it would be smart to change it.

8. Click on Server Icon to continue. Here you will choose an icon for your server file to have. The icons help mask what the file actually is. For my example I will choose the regular text document icon since my file is a text document.

9. After this, press Create server, your server will be in the same folder as ProRat. A new file with name "binded_server" will be created. Rename this file to something describing the picture. A hacker could also put it up as a torrent pretending it is something else, like the latest game that just came out so he could get people to download it.

Very important: Do not open the "binded_server" file on your system.

10. You can send this trojan server via email, pendrive or if you have physical access to the system, go and run the file. You can not send this file via email as "server.exe", because it will be detected as trojan or virus. Password protect this file with ZIP and then email it. Once your victim download this ZIP file, ask him to unlock it using ZIP password. When the victim will double click on the file, he will be in your control.

11. Now, I will show you what happens when a victim installs the server onto his computer and what the hacker could do next.

Once the victim runs the server on his computer, the trojan will be installed onto his computer in the background. The hacker would then get a message telling him that the victim was infected. He would then connect to his computer by typing in his IP address, port and clicking Connect. He will be asked for the password that he made when he created the server. Once he types it in, he will be connected to the victims computer and have full control over it.

12. Now the hacker has a lot of options to choose from as you can see on the right. He has access to all victim's computer files, he can shut down his pc, get all the saved passwords off his computer, send a message to his computer, format his whole hard drive, take a screen shot of his computer, and so much more. Below I’ll show you a few examples.

13. The image below shows the message that the victim would get on his screen if the hacker chose to message him.

14. Below is an image of the victims task bar after the hacker clicks on Hide Start Button.

15. Below is an image of what the hacker would see if he chose to take a screen shot of the victims screen.

As you saw in the above example, a hacker can do a lot of silly things or a lot of damage to the victim. ProRat is a very well known trojan so if the victim has an anti-virus program installed he most likely won’t get infected. Many skilled hackers can program their own viruses and Trojans that can easily bypass anti-virus programs.

Website Hack: Find IP Address of a Website

2010-05-28T22:16:00.001-07:00

Learn How to Find IP Address of a Web Site.

I've been posting a lot about IP Address Hacks on this blog, like How to Find The IP Address of An Email Sender, How to Hack Someones IP Address, How to Change Your IP Address and Surf The Web Anonymously, etc. Each Website on the Internet possesses at least one Internet Protocol (IP) address. Knowing a Web site IP address can be useful to determine its physical location, but this address is not automatically shown in Web browsers. So here i will show you how to find the IP address of a Website. Lets start.

Method 1:

Download Website Ip Finder Tool. Here you just need to enter in the desired website and the desired ip will be shown for few seconds.

Note: You can't close this app for some reason ( bug i guess ), but just end the process.

Method 2:

Now here is another method to to find the IP address of a website.

Open your Command Prompt (Start-> Run, and here type cmd). Now type ping http://www.website.com

Method 3:

There are many services on the net where you can get ip address of the website you want.

1. MGHZ.com

2. Selfseo.com

This tool will find out the IP address of a website as well as website's country (hosting location). This might be useful if you want to see where the server of your hosting provider is located. Some search engine results can be filtered by the geographical location of websites, so you might find out why your website is doing so well on some local searches.

There are some other methods to find ip address of a websites, but these three methods are easiest and most used.

How to Hack Facebook Password using Facebook Hacking Software

Hacking Facebook Account Password: Facebook Keylogging for Hacking Facebook

Everyday I get emails wherein my readers ask me How to Hack a Facebook Account? You as the reader are most likely reading this because you want to hack into someone’s facebook account. So in this post I have decided to uncover the real and working way to hack any facebook account. Actually there are many ways to hack someones facebook password like Phishing, Keylogging or using Hacking softwares used to hack facebook password. In this post i'm going to show you how to hack someones facebook account password using a keylogger - Emissary Keylogger.

How to Hack Facebook Password using Keylogger?

1. First of all Download Emissary Keylogger. It takes screenshots of the victim's computer and sends it to your gmail along with the logs.

2. Make sure that you have Microsoft .Net Framework installed in your Windows. You can download it from www.microsoft.com/net/. Else it won't work.

3. Extract the files using WinRar or any other zip/unzip program.

4. Open "Emissary.exe" to see something like this:

5. Now, fill in your Gmail username and password in respective fields (You can create a gmail account that you're going to use only for keylogging). Enter the email adress where you wanna receive facebook passwords. Choose a name for the server.exe file. You can set timer as you wish. This timer controls the time interval between two logs emails.

6. In the "Options" section you can see what this evil little buddy can do ;)

Block AV Sites: Blocks VirusScanning Websites on victim's computer
Add to Startup: Adds to Startup via Registry
Antis: Anubis, BitDefender, Kaspersky, Keyscrambler, Malwarebytes, NOD32, Norman, Ollydbg, Outpost, Wireshark
Disable TaskManager: Disable TaskManager on victim's PC
Disable Regedit: Disable's Regedit on victim's PC

7. Check "Trojan Downloader" to Downloade and Execute a trojan on victim's PC. You can also create a fake error message and scare your victim, like:

8. After you're done, hit on "Build" and you will get server keylogger file created in current directory.

9. Now, to hack facebook password, you have to send this server file to victim and make him install it on his computer. You can use Binder, Crypter or Fake Hacking Software to bind this server file with say any .mp3 file so that whenever victim runs mp3 file, server is automatically installed on his computer without his knowledge.

10. Now because this is a server.exe file you can't send it via email. Almost all email domains have security policy which does not allow sending .exe files. So to do this you need to compress the file with WinRar or upload it to Free File Storage Domains, like Mediafire, Speedyshare, Ziddu.com, etc.

11. Once the victim runs our sent keylogger file on his computer, it searches for all stored passwords and send you email containing all user-ids and passwords, like:

Now you have all victim email passwords in your inbox and you can now hack victim facebook accounts easily. I have personally tested this free keylogger and found it working 100%. Enjoy Hacking.

Very Important: Do not scan these tools on VirusTotal. Use http://scanner.novirusthanks.org and also check the "Do not distribute the sample" option.

How to Hack Rapidshare Premium Account Password

Learn how to hack Rapidshare premium account password. Rapidshare Tips, Tricks and Hacks.

Usually I download softwares from Rapidshare and sometimes from MegaUpload. But unfortunately most of these file sharing sites have a premium area and the services from the free area are not good and investing for the premium account for these sites are not really possible for us. So, I am posting this article on rapishare premium hacking to inform you ways to hack Rapidshare premium account.

Hack Rapidshare Premium Account Password:

I will show you 5 methods to hack rapidshare premium account and download/upload as many files as you want from their server.

1. RapidShare Phishing

Now, this is most useful method to hack Rapidshare premium password. The only thing you have to do is simply create a Rapidshare Phisher (fake page) and then send this Rapidshare Phisher to victim and make him to login to his Rapidshare premium account using our sent fake login page. Once he logins to his Rapidshare premium account using our sent phisher, his Login and Password are sent to your email address and you are able to hack Rapidshare premium account password. Here's how to do that:

1. First of all download Rapidshare Phisher here.

2. The downloaded file contains:

index.html
login.php
password.txt

3. Upload all of the files to any free webhost site like:

4. Once you have uploaded the files in the directory, send this phisher link (index.html) to your victim and make him login to his Rapidshare account using your sent Phisher. You can change the name of index.html however you like.

5. Once he logs in to his RapidShare account using Phisher, all his typed Rapidshare id and password is stored in "login.txt".

6. Now, open login.txt to get hacked Rapidshare id and password as shown.

Very simple. Now you have your victim's Rapidshare id and password hacked.

2. Keylogging

This is one of the most easiest method to hack Rapidshare premium account password. Here, you have software named by which you can record all keystrokes typed on victim computer.

3. Hacking Primary email address

Every Rapidshare premium account has a primary email address. So, simple logic is to hack Primary email address and then click on "Request Forgotten password" link on Rapidshare login page. Then rapidshare will send password to primary email inbox which is hacked by you. Thus, you've obtained new Rapidshare premium account password and now able to hack Rapidshare premium account. I found a great tutorial how to hack a hotmail account on Hackforums.net.

4. Remote Desktop Spy

Remote Desktop Spy is a powerful computer surveillance program which can be used in the home, school or office to monitor and record every detail of PC and Internet activity. The program contains several integrated tools which work together at the same time to record all programs used, keystrokes typed, web sites visited, files created or changed, and a screenshot logger which can take hundreds of snapshots every hour.

Features:

Logs the title, time and duration of every program that is used.
Records a keystroke log of what the user typed into each program.

Take control of the keyboard and mouse remotely.
Download and manage files remotely.
Log off, restart or shutdown the PC remotely.
Operates in total stealth - no visual windows, icons or processes.

Download Remote Desktop Spy

5. Social Engineering

Well, working of this hacking method depends on your intellegence and convincing power. Here, you have to ask victim about his password or security question of primary email. You have to be cautious while using this method to avoid any doubt of victim. Any clue about security answer can enable you to hack Rapidshare premium account password.

* Rapidshare Time Resetter

This isn't a method to hack a premium account password, but using this trick you can download/upload files UNLIMITED. Rapidshare traces the users IP address to limit each user to a certain amount of downloading per day. To get around this, you need to show the rapidshare server, a different IP address. Its very easy to fool Rapid Share server if your IP address is assigned by your ISP. Just follow these simple steps:

1. Clean up IE or Netscape or Firefox cookie ( In this case the one that belong to rapidshare website)

2. On Command prompt (open MS-DOS) *Click Start ->Run ->In the run box type cmd.exe and click OK.

type: ipconfig /flushdns and click Enter
type: ipconfig /release and click Enter
type: ipconfig /renew -> Enter
type: exit -> Enter

Or save these commands in a bat file and run it everytime you need to fool Rapidshare server. Remember to clean up rapidshare cookie in your temp Internet files folder.

Now you should be ready to download/upload as many files as you want from their server.

Another way, get proxies from the internet and apply to the browser.
some of proxies might not work though...

Note:

If you are on a LAN and behind a router (using NAT, for example)---this will not work.
If you use a fixed proxy--- this will not work.
If you have a fixed IP address from your ISP or college or employer or whatever -- this will not work.
If you happen to get the same IP address from your DHCP server because it's assigned to you -- this will not work

NO waiting
THIS "cheat" for RAPIDSHARE DOWNLOADS eliminates the "WAITING" for the file. No more COUNTDOWNS. So heres what you do:

1. First, Find a rapidshare download.

2. Hit the FREE BUTTON, like always.

3. While your waiting for it to countdown, change the URL in the bar to:

Code:

and hit ENTER or the GO button over and over. Eachtime you do so, it decreases 10-20 seconds. Few times and the link appears.
or you can simply do the code below ONCE

Code:

* Free premium acount for all

Here is an encrypted message. If you decode that message you get a link to register premium acount on rapidshare, but i dont have a decomipler for PKCS7. Help me decode this message and we have all free premium acounts XD

Code:

So friends, these are some of the popular methods used to hack Rapidshare premium account password. I hope, you'll be able to use these methods to hack Rapidshare premium password.

The 4 Must Have Android Phone Applications for Students

2010-05-23T02:04:00.000-07:00

There are many aspects of studying, all requiring their own habitat and instruments. Most importantly, there’s note-taking, studying, and exercising.

All of these come with specialised tool-sets. Each rendering additional costs and practical difficulties.

Most people don’t realize how powerful their smart phone really is – and how diverse the applications are.

It’s often hard to find the right applications for the job. To get you started, here are four incredible Google Android phone applications that every student should know of.

1. Evernote

Evernote is, or should be, known to practically every computer-user. It’s a cross-platform note-taking application that knows no equal. There are mobile Evernote clients available for your iPhone, Windows Mobile and Android, allowing you to create new, or view older notes, literally wherever you are.

Apart from regular text notes, you can also create audio notes, upload a file, or take a snapshot. The most remarkable is Evernote’s ability to recognize, and make text in images fully searchable. There’s only one downside; the capped monthly bandwidth.

Mark reviewed Evernote in full detail a few months back in December.

2. RealCalc

That phone you’re holding has a power exceeding many older computer systems. And yet there’s an incredibly simplistic calculator, hardly allowing you to do anything more complicated than division and multiplication. If you’re allowed to use your cell phone in class, your Android can be a nifty replacement for that (almost as expensive) scientific calculator.

RealCalc, a free Android application, does everything you’d expect from your HP or Texas scientific calculator – and often a lot quicker as well. Some of the features include trigonometry, factorials, permutations and combinations. As a surplus, RealCalc also comes with a multi-purpose unit converter.

3. StudyDroid

Taking notes or making scientific predictions doesn’t cover all there is. If you’re studying languages, it doesn’t even come close. A lot of your time will actually be spent trying to memorize heaps and heaps of data. Flashcards are an always-popular simple studying system. Read the notes on one side of the card, and try to guess what’s on back.

StudyDroid doesn’t do away with this time-tested system, but rids you of the need for pen and paper. With your Android phone in your pocket, you can continue studying at any given time – in the car, or in another (admittedly boring) seminar.

Additionally, registering for an account allows you to download other people’s flash cards, or synchronize your own sets.

4. Thinking Space

Another hugely popular studying (and note-taking) system are mind maps – diagrams used to represent words and ideas. These aren’t limited to studying. Whenever you can’t manage to jot down your thoughts in a linear fashion, try graphically. It has helped many to see through otherwise confusing theories.

Thinking Space works very intuitively, better even than a lot of PC and web alternatives. It allows you to create schemes unrestricted by your worksheet. Zoom in, out, or use colored nodes to create order out of that chaos.

Do you know any other cool Android phone applications that could be of use to fellow students? Tell us what you’re using, and why, in the comments section below!

How To Remove Antivirus System Pro Completely From Your PC

2010-05-23T02:03:00.002-07:00

You might wonder why we have an entire article on how to remove an antivirus software app. First off, be warned that Antivirus System Pro is not an antivirus software app at all. It is just a cleverly named malware that masquerades as antivirus software, tricking you into installing and then running the malware program. The ultimate goal is to disable certain functionalities on your computer, forcing you to buy Antivirus System Pro in order to restore back all functionality. Cheap!

What’s worse is the fact that you cannot just uninstall Antivirus System Pro. It difficult to know at first how you should go about performing an Antivirus System Pro removal, however there are a few things you can do to make your job easier to remove Antivirus System Pro completely from your computer.

Let’s first look at the easier, automated way (which doesn’t always work). You can try one of the genuine malware removal software. MalwareBytes is an excellent option. You don’t have to do much except install and run these software. These are potent enough to detect Antivirus System Pro and remove it from the computer.

If on the other hand you don’t have these installed or cannot download them for some reason, then you can still perform an Antivirus System Pro removal manually. In fact most of the time you can remove the virus infections manually as well. Most viruses and rogue software like these target a particular area of the registry, create processes that run in the background and don’t allow you to install other antivirus software or remove any components of the rogue software. So one of the first steps in removing Antivirus System Pro from your computer is to stop the processes it creates.

It is best if you perform the following steps when your computer is operating in safe mode. You can select safe mode by pressing the F8 or F10 key just before the operating system is about to start. Once in safe mode open up the Task Manager, head over to the processes tab and end any of the following processes if you see them listed:

antivirussystempro.exe
uninstall.exe
antivirsystempro.exe
sysguard.exe

You can also use rkill, which is a fantastic little utility that can detect and terminate a number of malware processes automatically.

Next up its time to delete files that Antivirus System Pro created when it made a home on your computer. Keep in mind that some of these files may be locked by the application and may not be possible to simply delete them. You can use Unlocker to remove such files or folders. Also you might need to run the command “regsvr32 /u iehelper.dll” before you can delete that file.

Program Files\Antivirus System PRO\quarantine.vdb
Program files\Antivirus System PRO\queue.vdb
Program files\Antivirus System PRO\mbase.vdb
Program files\Antivirus System PRO\conf.cfg
Program files\Antivirus System PRO\uninstall.exe
Program files\Antivirus System PRO\Antivirussystempro.exe
Program files\Antivirus System PRO\
WINDOWS\sysguard.exe
WINDOWS\system32\iehelper.dll
Documents and Settings\\\XXXXsysguard.exe

Finally, you need to dive in deep and delete some values from the registry. To do so, open up the run dialog box by pressing the key combination Win + R and then type in regedit. This will open the registry editor.

You will see HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT, HKEY_CURRENT_USER, HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, HKEY_USERS listed in the left side pane. These are the trees which contain values created by various software and the operating system to run properly. Antivirus System Pro also makes certain entries to the registry, which should be deleted for complete removal. The entries are listed below:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Antivirus System PRO
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Antivirus System PRO
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run “Antivirus System PRO”
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ShellServiceObjectDelayLoad “ieModule”

Top 4 Sites To Access Your Favourite Links From One Page

2010-05-23T02:03:00.001-07:00

There are a hundred and one ways to bookmark your favourite websites, whether it’s using your browser’s native bookmarking system or using an online service like Delicious or Google Bookmarks, each of which has its pros and cons.

One con is that after a while, your bookmarks can become hard to manage. Using a visual bookmarking website as your homepage is the best way to access favorites at hand for quick and easy access.

Each of these services have their own unique added features, including RSS feeds, inbuilt search, tabs, groups, and bookmarklets for easily adding new bookmarks.

Favetop

Favetop serves as a desktop for your favourite links, websites and media online. Using the website as your homepage would give you quick access to sites that you visit frequently.

You can quickly populate your Favetop favourite websites with the recommended sites which include Bing, Google, Twitter, Amazon and Facebook, amongst many others. Going into the settings allows you to delete the sites you would prefer not to add to your front page. Alternatively, you can choose to manually enter each of the websites yourself.

Other than your favourite websites, you can also add your favourite online videos, photos, music, games and bookmarks to specific blog posts, articles and so forth.

You don’t actually have to sign up for an account to be able to add content to Favetop, but the same doesn’t go for deleting. If you want to be able to remove content from your page, you will have to sign up for a free account.

You can also use Favetop to perform searches, choosing between Google, Yahoo and Bing as your search engine.

Getwapps

After signing up and activating your account, you’re ready to start setting up your own personal customised page on Getwapps.

Using their setup wizard, you can select a few of your favourite websites or services, give the list a name, and then choose whether or not turn on your Meebo Bar to chat with friends using Facebook Chat, GTalk, AIM, MSN etc.

Getwapps’ default homepage features a variety of websites they have chosen for you including Google, Facebook, YouTube and Twitter, amongst others. The appearance is highly customisable, allowing you to change the title, and the image associated with the site, with the added ability of instantly taking a screenshot from the site without ever leaving your Getwapps page.

Getwapps’ main aim is to keep you organized with the ability to create as many lists as you want, featuring large buttons for each site. It also has a mini list in the right hand sidebar. One of Getwapps’ interesting features is the fact that you can search sites directly from within the button that appears on your homepage. If you want to be able to search Amazon, for instance, from within Getwapps, be sure to add Amazon using the Wapps Store.

Another similar website to Getwapps that deserves a mention is Only2Clicks. It has a very similar interface to Getwapps with the added bonus of tabbed pages, an iPhone interface, and a variety of skins to change the appearance of the entire page.

Start.io

Start.io takes a minimalist approach, which will appeal to people who prefer a simple and uncluttered start page. You can create as many groups as you like, and add websites to those groups. Start.io also has an import feature, allowing you to import your bookmarks if you would prefer to use it as a starting point for all of the sites that you use, rather than just your favourites. Your links appear as a series of categorised lists.

Once you’ve got your links set up, you can choose whether or not to make your start page public or private, whether or not to open links in a new page, and to customize your background.

Start.io has a bookmarklet making it easy to add new websites to your Start.io webpage from the comfort of your bookmark bar.

A coloured bullet point will appear next to any page which features new updates since you last visited it.

43Marks

43Marks sets itself apart from the rest of this list by allowing you to add not only your favourite bookmarks, but also allows you to add your favourite RSS feeds.

Default bookmarks are added for you, which you can remove, as well as the categories themselves, including Email, Social, Photo, Movies and more. The appearance can also be customised by rearranging categories, changing the colours of each category, and the RSS feeds can be displayed as expanded or collapsed.

From your 43Marks homepage, you can search Google, Bing, Yahoo and Wikipedia, and can choose whether or not to share your 43Marks page publicly or keep it private.

3 Google Tricks When You Don’t Know What to Search For

2010-05-23T01:58:00.000-07:00

Sometimes you are totally sure which terms to use to search Google to find the information you need.

However more often than not, you have to try dozens of various search phrases to accidentally come across a good result.

Today’s short search tutorial will show some Google search tricks you can use to search when you actually don’t know what you are going to find.

The tips will turn useful in a number of cases:

When you are looking for random inspiration and thus have no idea which words to use to search (actually what you really need to get inspired is to know those words);
When your topic is broad and you are unsure which one of related words and synonyms best describes your question;
When you have found a page, can’t define it properly but need more of the kind (especially, if you have landed on some wicked tool and want to know if there are more tools like this).

Now, let me share the Google search operators that will help you in any of the above cases:

1. Wildcard Search Operator

Search engines may treat a wildcard (*) differently. Google substitutes it for one or more words that would normally occur in the phrase. Thus, if you, for example, search ["reliable * provider"], search results will include: “reliable television provider”, “reliable webhosting provider”, “reliable VoiP provider”, etc.

Possible Usage

Thus two of the most obvious ways to take advantage of the search operator are:

Use it when you remember the phrase but can’t remember the word;
Use it to research various word combination with one or more base words (for keyword research or language learning);

Practical Example

Now, a more creative way to use it is to get some (content) inspiration. I described the method in my earlier post on finding linkbait inspiration: use a wildcard in between classic Digg headings to find which articles are being created to target social media sites. Examples include:

[amazing * swimming pools] for more ideas on swimming pool designs;
["what kind * are you"] for more viral quiz ideas;
["top weird *"] just for something bizarre.

2. ~ Synonym Search Operator

The Google ~ operator allows you to broaden the scope of your search to related terms and synonyms.

Possible Usage

The operator may turn particularly handy when:

Your search term is very broad and you are unsure which of the related words is used to describe the phenomenon.
You want to research related terms excluding the one you use (e.g. [~search -search])

Practical Example

When searching for guest post opportunities, the synonym ~ operator lets you include all possible blog topics in one search:

3. Related: URL Search Operator

The Related: search operator allows to find more similar pages to the provided one. It used to be strictly based on co-citation: it looked for pages with the same set of backlinks to the above one. But since then it has been noticed that it also applied some thematic relevance.

Possible Usage

It is thus clear that the search operator should be used when you need to find more similar pages (especially when you can’t formulate the contents or define the concept of the current page).

Practical Example

The operator may turn very useful for bloggers who often create tool lists and overviews (for a website like MUO). As an example, here are the related results for a popular broken link checker: Xenu’s Link Sleuth.

3 Audacity Tips To Enhance Your Recorded Interviews

2010-05-14T21:55:00.000-07:00

As a blogger and a researcher, I have to conduct a lot of interviews. Some months I’ve conducted two or three interviews a week, and many of those are recorded interviews, because many people don’t have time to answer questions via email. One of the nice things about recorded interviews is that they work well as an audio podcast either available for download from your own blog, or distributed as a podcast at any podcast directory.

Regardless what you intend to do with the interview, one thing that’s for certain is that you want to develop a reputation as a professional interviewer that produces high-quality, interesting conversations with fascinating people.

Only part of the recipe for this is developing interesting and thoughtful questions for your interviewee to answer, but the other significant part of the equation is how well you’ve edited the audio interview into a high-quality, professional show. Many avid audio enthusiasts may find some of the edits below somewhat simple, but for the blogger or podcaster with little audio editing experience, these tips are critical to know.
3 Tips To Enhance Your Interview Audio With Audacity

I use the Audacity audio recording software to record and edit all of my interviews. My recording setup is about as simple as it gets – an Olympic earpiece that doubles as both a microphone and an earphone, so that I can hear the person on the phone while the microphone feeds the conversation into the laptop and Audacity. This works well, and produces high quality conversations, but like anything, there are flaws in the setup that produce less than optimum conditions.

The beauty of Audacity is that you have the capability to “fix” those flaws. The three most common problems that I’m going to touch on in this post are removing background noise, amplifying voices, and integrating quality introduction with music.

audacity audio recording software

Before we start doctoring the audio file with the Audacity audio recording software, let me first introduce the patient. Above is a snippet of an hour-long audio interview that I conducted last month. The two most common flaws are background noise, shown in the center of this clip, and low voice volume (my voice) as shown on the right. You can see that the amplitude when I was talking is about half of that of the voice on the phone – which is to be expected when recording with such an earpiece.
How To Fix Quiet Voices

The first tweak for the common interview issue of quiet voices is also the easiest. The volume of the voice is equivalent to “amplitude,” so all you have to do is use Audacity’s Amplify tool to increase the quiet voice just a little bit.

To perform this task, just highlight the section of audio track with the quiet voice, and then select “Amplify” from the Effect menu option.

audacity interview recording

In the amplify tool, you’ll need to select an amplification that is just enough to increase the voice volume to a level that’s equivalent to the other person speaking. It may take some trial and error the first time, so just undo the change and try a new value until you get it right.

audacity audio recording software

In my case, I found that an increase of 5 dB did the trick. Once you know the right value, the only tedious part of this fix is that you’ll need to find every place in the track where the quiet voice shows up, and do the highlight/amplify routine to fix it.
How To Remove Background Noise With Audacity

The second most common flaw in an interview audio file is background noise. Maybe you left a fan on in the other room, or there are cars going by just outside the open window, and you realize once you listen to the audio that the sound is terribly annoying and distracting.

The first step in this technique is to identify an area in your file that features nothing but the background noise alone. When you find such an area, highlight that section of the audio track, and then go into the “Noise Removal” tool in the Effects menu option.

audacity software

Once you’re there, click on “Get Noise Profile“. Doing this captures a snapshot of the background noise itself. The software uses this to “erase” that sound profile from a section (or all) of the audio file. The next step is just to highlight the area where you want to remove the noise (most of the time you’ll just select the entire track), and then go back into this window and select “Remove Noise“.

audacity software

As you can see, Audacity does an amazing job at cleaning up the noise. There is one caveat, and it is this – carefully gauge the amount of noise that you want to remove. Removing too little won’t do much good, and removing too much will make the audio sound over-digitized or artificially quiet. One thing I noticed is that the middle to lower middle setting is usually ideal.
Integrating A Musical Or Voice Introduction

Have you ever heard those cool podcasts with a great musical introduction? Well, believe it or not, you can do the same exact thing in Audacity in just a few simple steps. The first step, obviously, is importing the music file that you would like to use (make sure you don’t infringe on any licensing issues).

audacity software

The next step is just highlight the block of music you’d like to use as your introduction (select the correct number of seconds) and then do a simple Copy. Then place the cursor at the start of your audio file, and select Paste. The copied music clip will get inserted into your track, pushing the entire interview to the right.

While this is cool, it’ll sound weird because at the end of the clip, your music will just end abruptly. Instead, you want to taper off the music as you enter into the interview itself. You can do this by highlighting the very last part of your music clip and selecting Effect -> Fade Out from the Menu.

audacity audio editor

You’ll see the amplitude of the music clip taper off as it approaches the end of the clip, and in effect producing a very nice fade into the interview itself.

By using these three simple tips, you’ve just equalized voice volume, removed background noise, and embedded a professional music introduction into your audio interview. With just these few simple changes, you’ll transform amateur sounding interviews into well produced, professional sounding conversations.

Nurph Creates An Instant Chatbox On Any Site by Simon Slangen on May. 9th, 2010

2010-05-14T21:54:00.001-07:00

Chatting has become something of a second nature to a lot of people. It’s cheaper than SMS or telephone, and still covers that mind-blowing distance.

However, people have a lot of problems thinking out of the box on this one. Quite literally. There’s always a need for preparation. Installing the right applications, building your network. It’s nothing compared to the freedom of real life, where you can bug almost anyone you walk into.

There’s a notable exception to this rule; website chat rooms. Although more common on smaller, amateur websites, chat rooms give that real-life feel to a website, giving ‘customers’ the ability to interact with their hosts, or fellow interested parties. Perhaps set-up and maintenance is holding website hosts back. Nurph takes that out of the equation as well.

Nur.ph

It’s incredibly easy to create a site-specific free chatbox using Nurph. You don’t even need server-side access! Allow me to explain how it’s done.

There are two ways to Nurph a website. First, point your webbrowser to the Nurph website. There enter the URL of a site – any site, even a YouTube video – and hit Go.

Nurph will open the specified site, and overlay it with a chat box. Notice that the URL points to a shortened nur.ph URL. Anyone visiting the website via Nurph, or following the shortened URL directly, will be able to access the chat box.

Nurph uses Twitter for sole identification, which is actually about its only real downside. If you don’t yet have a Twitter account, you’ll have to sign up before you’re able to use Nurph. On the other side, with the need for identification, this makes for an immediate moderation barrier.

Luckily, you don’t need to pass through the Nurph website every single time. To use the Nurph bookmarklet, add this link to your browser’s bookmarks bar. If you want to generate a chat box-ed URL, simply hit the bookmarklet while you’re on a webpage.

Personal & Business Uses

If you’re a website administrator or blogger, you can use Nurph to add a chatbox to your site. Even if you’re using GUI-side-only services like Blogger, Tumblr or Twitter. Simply generate the URL and put it on a prominent place on your blog, profile, or Twitter page.

Nurph also suggests making it into your homepage, so people have a chance of chatting with the website owner a couple times per day. Using a service like Nurph, and promoting your site through it, not only adds to user satisfaction, but can keep them on your site exponentially longer, and thus increase your ad revenue.

But there’s no way Nurph is only interesting for professionals. Users can Nurph other websites than their own and, if well-promoted, help you discover like-minded individuals. This is especially true for community websites and discussion forums.

3 New Ways To Discover Most Popular Online Content

2010-05-14T21:53:00.000-07:00

There is an overwhelming amount of information on the Internet, whether you’re getting it through your RSS reader, through Twitter, Facebook or from your favourite website. Aggregators aim to make filtering through the most popular online content just a little bit easier, whether it’s based on your own personal preferences, or simply based on what’s popular on certain social networking sites.

There’s no denying the popularity of sites like Digg and StumbleUpon, but there are a ton of other options available, each with an interesting twist, whether it’s in the way the content is presented, or by gathering popular content from specific social networking sites like Twitter and Facebook.

Find The Most Popular Online Content With The Bus Ride

The Bus Ride is an aggregator of sorts that gives you a simple and unique way to navigate through information on your preferred topics, much like being on a bus and going from one stop to the next.

The Bus Ride frontpage features popular stories from all around the web in a variety of categories. You can choose to display different types of stories, from the newest, to the most creative, entertaining and educational. You can also browse through specific categories such as News, Products, Sports, Technology and Travel.

Selecting any given story, you will then be taken on a route of sorts. Each stop consists of a post related to that story from a different website. So opening up a post on “alternatives to the iPad” takes you to an article on Wired, with the next stop on Engadget, followed by The Huffington Post.

By the end of the route, you should know all that you ever wanted to know about alternatives to the iPad.

You can also search for any topic and The Bus Ride will create a personalised route for you to discover articles, videos from YouTube, Wikipedia entries, Gowalla posts, and much more.

Each route consists of 6 stops. Repeating the same search for a personalised route will sometimes result in new content for you to read, although some of it is repeated.

As you go through your routes, you can earn stamps. The stamps are displayed on your Facebook profile, and require that you connect to your Facebook account. Connecting to your Facebook account also allows you to comment on and ‘like’ posts from a sidebar directly within The Bus Ride.

Find Interesting Content On Twitter With ReStream

ReStream makes it easy to filter through the abundance of information available on Twitter.

What makes ReStream particularly useful is that you have complete control over what kind of information is included in your stream.

Setting up your stream of content couldn’t be easier. After connecting to your Twitter account, you can enter as many keywords or tags as you like. If there are more tags that you want to add at a later date, you can do so by going into your profile settings.

You also have the choice of importing your Twitter favourites as a means of further personalising the content that will be made available to you. You can then look at the Recommended Reading tab based on the tags that you entered when first setting up your account.

Articles can be marked as read, and are also accompanied by ‘comments,’ so you can see who has mentioned these articles on Twitter.

Using ReStream, you can also look through your own Twitter stream, and it will feature select tweets from the people you follow, you can browse content by popularity, or certain featured categories.

Find Interesting Content On Facebook With ItsTrending

ItsTrending is like a Digg of sorts for Facebook, and the best part is that you don’t actually need a Facebook account to benefit from it.

Using this site, you can easily find the most popular online content such as news, tech and sports stories, along with popular videos and images that are being shared on the social networking site.

The front page features the top 5 stories in each category.

Opening up any given category will show a list of the most popular stories with a counter for how many times each post has been shared on Facebook.

If you are logged into Facebook, it will allow you to comment on and ‘like’ stories directly from ItsTrending.

How do you find interesting content from around the web? Let us know in the comments.

Add Dozens of Cool Features to Facebook Account With FFixer

2010-05-14T21:37:00.000-07:00

Facebook is the second most popular website on the internet according to Alexa, so I can probably assume most of you are already using it. If that’s the case, you can add dozens of features to Facebook with FFixer, a highly customizable script for Firefox and Chrome.

FFixer adds great features such as the ability to view the full versions of thumbnails by hovering your mouse over the image, better photo albums, and keyboard shortcuts (just like Gmail).

Follow me through this guide to see how it all works!

Getting Started

Installation for FFixer is different depending on the browser you’re using, so make sure to follow the correct procedure below.

Mozilla Firefox

Step one: FFixer is a Javascript application and requires the Greasemonkey add-on to operate. Head over to the Greasemonkey add-on page and click the bright green Add to Firefox button as shown below.

After installing Greasemonkey, you will need to restart Firefox by closing all browser windows and re-opening the browser. Alternatively, you can click Restart Firefox in the add-on installation window (all of your open windows will be saved and re-opened).

Step two: Go to the FFixer Userscripts page and click the green Install button as shown below.

You will then receive an installation prompt where you will need to click Install again.

After the script installs, you’ll notice a brief message in your toolbar next to the little monkey icon. FFixer is now installed and will be active on Facebook!

Google Chrome

Note: Although FFixer wasn’t natively written for Chrome, I ported it over and it seems to work great. Please note that some unexpected behavior may occur when using the Chrome version.

Installing FFixer in Chrome is very easy. Just head to the FFixer Chrome Extension page and click the blue Install button.

You will need to confirm the installation by clicking the Install button in the dialog box.

After the script is installed, you’ll notice a brief message in the top right corner of the browser window. FFixer is now installed and will be active on Facebook!

Features of Facebook

Quickly View Full-sized Images

This, by far, is my feature and the one I use the most in FFixer. To view any full-sized version of an image, just hover your mouse over the image. This works for profile pictures, photo album thumbnails, and even images from external sites.

Better Photo Albums

You can view photo albums with all full-sized images by clicking the Show Big Pictures link at the top of any photo album. (This feature can be enabled by default in the Facebook Account menu –> Configure FFixer –> Pictures tab –> Automatically show bigger album pictures when the page opens…)

If you’re dealing with a multi-page album, you can click the All button near the album navigation to view the entire album in a single page. (This feature can be enabled by default in the Facebook Account menu –> Configure FFixer –> Pictures tab –> Automatically load thumbnails for all images in an album on a single page…).

Homepage & Feed Customization

Facebook includes a lot of information on the homepage, and FFixer allows you to decide exactly what appears on your screen. To customize the homepage, open the Facebook Account menu, select Configure FFixer, and click the Home Page tab. In this menu, you can enable or disable anything that appears on the homepage.

If you want to filter certain stories from the News Feed, click the Feeds tab and enable or disable any items you like.

Bookmarks

This newly-added feature of FFixer allows you to bookmark any Facebook Profile or Page for quick viewing in the future. This feature can also be disabled in the FFixer settings under the Menus/Chat tab.

Keyboard Shortcuts

If you’ve ever used keyboard shortcuts in Gmail, you know how quickly you can move while using them (and how addictive they can be!). For example, you can jump directly to your inbox by typing I (these are case sensitive), or go directly to your profile by typing P.

For a complete list of keyboard shortcuts, open the Facebook Fixer settings and select the Keyboard Shortcuts tab.

Video Downloads

FFixer gives you the ability to download any video uploaded to Facebook. When viewing a video, simply click the Download Video link near the bottom of the page.

DOZENS Of Other Features

FFixer includes more features than I could ever include in this article. Spend some time in the FFixer settings menu to see what it’s capable of, and check out a couple more great features like automatic Calendar integration for birthdays, screen names converted into a clickable link in profiles, and enhanced chat settings.
