That’s right! Using iRingtones you can make your own videos of whatever song you’ve got stored on your PC.

The first step is to obtain a 25 second clip of the song (this will be the portion of the ringtone) and convert it into a WAV file. The cutting and converting part can easily be done by a very user-friendly freeware, Audacity.

The next step is to run iRingtones which uses the freely available Nero AAC Encoder to encode the ringtone into and M4R compliant tone so it can be then used on iPhones.

The author of the program has explicitly stated that he/she has the rights to neither Nero AAC Encoder nor Audacity. Therefore do download them before you run iRingtones.

Once your ringtone has been created by iRingtones, it will automatically add it to your iTunes library.

iRingtones is a greatly convenient free application which any iPhone user can use to further personalize their overall iPhone experience. Give it a go today, you will be pleased.

Well now with the help of a wonderful free web service, Page Slider, you can combine all your favorite webpages into a single link and view them on a single webpage.

From their homepage:

“PageSlider allows you to generate a bookmarklet (JavaScript macro) which contains a list of your personal website favorites. The list is displayed in a special way so that you can switch between many pages easily. Only the current page and the following page are being loaded. The other pages are loaded on demand. In addition there’s an overview function for having all pages at one sight.”

The interface lets the user jump into the process right away; you enter the URL’s of your favorite websites into the places assigned for the addresses. To sample the service, I entered Google (www.google.com), Yahoo (www.yahoo.com), and MIT’s homepage (www.mit.edu ). Here was the result on my Firefox:

As you can see, the Yahoo page is pasted right under Google’s page; similarly MIT’s page is pasted right under Yahoo’s page. The java bookmarklet that Page Slider generates can even be dragged over to your browser’s toolbar which will be your shortcut to the websites you add. This can come especially in handy if there are some websites which you frequent every day; this way, all you will need to do is click on the bookmarklet and your websites will be instantly shown in a single webpage like view.

Page Slider has come up with an innovative way to facilitate internet users and gets two thumbs up!
