Oh Beck…you no longer need two turn tables and a microphone, you just need a computer with an internet connection. Perhaps some understanding of beats might also play an important role in your use of TurnTube. DJ’s beware, TurnTube, powered by YouTube, is a video music mixing masterpiece that allows users to mix their favorite videos like a pro. Using YouTube’s extensive library of music videos, you can create your own music by simply pairing them up and setting the mood.
With a simple cross-fade and mix of some of your favorite music, not only are you providing your audience with great tunes, but paired with music videos is always a nice visual touch. I’ve tried playing with the web app and honestly, I’m not a good DJ. But, if you’ve got the talent give it a try. You can search for your favorite songs, and load them up in two play lists. You then set up your videos to cue at a certain point that will allow for a seamless integration. Start your music, and then adjust as necessary.
If you’re wondering what the final product will look like, below are samples of videos that have been mixed, and some of them are really really good. This won’t get you a moonlighting gig, but it’s a lot of fun to play with.
There are a lot of sites out there that help users download videos from YouTube. Here are the best 2 sites according to Crenk.
Download YouTube videos is a very simple and easy site to use. All you need to do is insert the URL of the YouTube video you want to download and the site does the rest.
Keepvid works in exactly the same way as the previous site, but the basic interface and speed of the site is a lot better.
Millions of Americans, and indeed people around the world, tuned in to watch the highlight of the US sporting year, the Super Bowl. As Eric Schmidt, the CEO of Google, hinted yesterday, Google did indeed run an advertisement during the Super Bowl for the first ever time.
The ad has since become a hit around the Internet, especially on sites such as YouTube on Twitter, all within a few hours of being broadcast in the third quarter ad break of the Super Bowl. I watched it on YouTube, and I have to say it’s pretty well done. It basically summarises Google’s search functionality in a way which I’m sure has millions of US families going ‘Awwwwww’. Check it out below.
YouTube has been the dominant social space for videos around the world. The most highly searched video site has everything from
entertainment, DIY videos, music, clips, and more residing on the Google servers and made accessible to all of us with a simple search. With over 1 million searches a day, they are doing something right.
Most recently YouTube made big news with the release of their Univision channel for the growing Spanish speaking market. This brings into the fold a whole demographic that may have been apprehensive to use Google due to language barriers, but now content in their native language will be something that they can adapt to, and YouTube will surely reap the benefits. This is the fruits of a deal that was agreed upon and announced to the press back in November. With Univision providing full content, whether it be clips or entires shows, the video are now searchable from within YouTube giving exposure to both brands in an amazing way.
This is a huge move for Univision, as this is the first time their content has been made available on the internet outside of their own proprietary websites. Combining content from Univisions major networks, Univision, TeleFutura, and Galavision, the network plans to expand its content, seek original programming for the internet, and have notable celebrities share weekly wrap-ups of shows to keep users caught up on everything happening at the station.
The iPad has been receiving mixed reviews. Some see it as a breakthrough. “Like holding the future in your hands” is a quote that’s been used a lot. Others who thought it would encompass more of a Mac computer feel were a little disappointed. None more so than Adolf Hitler.
This is a parody that has been ripped off way to many times for everything from WoW to Burger King. But this one is very well done and has Hitler raving about the lack of a camera and Flash support. Also, he’s not too pleased with the 3G restrictions to the much shamed At&T network in the US. He also doesn’t see the new ‘iBooks’ store as an alternative to the Kindle and pretty much calls it an oversized iPod touch.
Hey, maybe he’s right on this one. Check out the video here.
YouTube streaming live entertainment – it was inevitable really. The world’s biggest video website was eventually going to push into the market of sites like UStream. For their first outing into this unfamiliar field they’re sticking with a market which is sure to please many of our Indian readers – live Indian Premier League Cricket.
Unfortunately, it doesn’t appear as though YouTube are taking any steps to secure broadcasting rights for Western sports such as football (World Cup 2010 would be a great launching pad), Golf, Rugby, American Football, Basketball or Tennis – all of which would have a huge audience. Perhaps they’re seeing how people adapt to watching sports online in a less prominent market before they go mainstream on YouTube.com.
They are due to begin broadcasting cricket on YouTube in March.
So, who would have though the first sport to receive mainstream online broadcasting attention would be Indian Cricket?

Bitly.tv offers up a unique way of ranking videos.
There’s a lot of video search engines out there, there’s also a lot of sites that rank the videos that you should be watching. YouTube is probably one of the biggest ones know, and probably the most searched. Not everything on YouTube is worth viewing, but then again, everyone has their taste. That being said, Bitly.tv is one of those experiments that came out of no where for me.
Does the name sounds familiar?
If you’re used to using URL shorteners, Bit.ly is probably the most popular of them. Their addition of Bitly.tv is a nice compliment to their already existing lineup.
