Downloading (leeching) from YouTube may become a history

Youtube doesn’t need an introduction at all. I am sure everyone of us visit youtube at least once a week. But some people like me who download and archive video’s from youtube have some bad news. Youtube has made up a strategy to monetize from the downloads after all. Its gonna allow its partners or users who upload videos to charge a fee for downloading the video to view it offline payable via Google Checkout.

In favour for the partners Youtube is on a hunt to cut down the download via the FireFox plug ins, websites and software’s which used to leech the video for you. Over the few week you may start noticing those free services being shut down or hunting for an alternate way to get the job done.

Well the good news is partners like khan-academy, household-hacker and pogo-bat are using this for generating revenue through distribution where as University partners like Stanford, Duke and UC Berkeley and using it to distribute free downloads of lectures and events.

Cross your fingers so that your favorite channel or uploader is not gonna make a hole in your pockets.

Google Reader

I used to always wonder how can i keep track of a huge list of blogs and read on a regular basis. Well i used to either bookmark them in firefox or stumble upon them. But never got back to reading that. Recently i was introduced to Google Reader.  Am sure it was around for a long time but never had caught my attention. Its one of the best things i have come across lately. You can add RSS feeds of as many websites as you wanna track and read but the best part is they are displayed in your Google Reader homepage similar to your emails as a list. you can read the posts you want to and ignore the rest. You can even Add starts to bookmark certain posts of any blog and make a list of them so that u can come back at a later date to refer once again. You can share certain news with other friends too or mail them to people on different networks, add tags to them to categorize it for later referal.

Google Reader on the desktop

I am a Cellphone freak. I would love to check my emails, facebok etc on my cellphone when ever i get time. Well i had never imagined i would be able to read the blogs so comfortably on my cellphone till now. Google Reader makes it very easy. When u add your RSS FEEDs to the reader. Its accessable to you through the mobile only that too in a Mobile Rendered Layout with no disorientation of the webpage as you may come accross in your blog layouts.
