YouRepeat: Loop a YouTube Video

YouRepeat is a web tool that you can use to repeat a YouTube video. Now, why would you need a loop tool for YouTube? Beats me, but if you do, this is the tool to use.

You can use the tool in three ways. There’s the search bar on their website that you can use to search for YouTube videos to auto-repeat. Then, there’s easier way. If you happen to be watching a video on YouTube, and really liked it enough that you want to set it on auto-loop/auto-repeat, simply replace the “Tube” on YouTube with the world “repeat.” It will turn the YouTube video URL into a YouRepeat URL which is linked to the video that you are watching. All that’s left for you to do is sit back and enjoy the looping video. If you don’t like the tedious job of altering video URL’s, you can use the YouRepeat bookmarklet. Like any bookmarklets, simply drag it on your bookmarks toolbar and whenever you feel that you should loop a video, just press the bookmarklet and loop away.

YouRepeat is a simple tool but it could prove to be useful to anyone who enjoys listening to music or watching music videos on YouTube. Instead of pressing the play button over and over again, you can simply press a repeat bookmarklet and watch/listen to your favorite video to your heart’s content.

Touchoo: iPad App for Children

Ever since the official announcement for the production of the Apple iPad, developers have been very busy creating different applications for Apple’s newest toy. Touchoo is one of those applications that are built for the iPad. It is a company that is geared towards publishing quality interactive book apps for toddlers and children. They aim to combine the beauty in traditional children’s books with the intuitiveness and flexibility of touch screen technology.

Books allow all of us, grown-ups and children alike, to fantasize and use our imagination. Our vision is to help create a new age of children’s books, that cherishes what children have enjoyed for ages, without ignoring the unique opportunities available to this generation: a generation that will use new technology to develop themselves as individuals, and, no doubt, will change the world in ways that none of us can even imagine!

With the input of a select group of writers, illustrators, animators and programmers, Touchoo creates apps that stimulate the child on many developmental levels: emotional, mental, educational, and social – all strictly age appropriate. Each of their books explores a different developmental stage and is written to help the child learn a new skill while reading and playing. To ensure that the books they publish are perfectly suited to the needs and abilities of the young ones – in content, functionality and appearance – all Touchoo book-apps™ are made under supervision of a developmental psychologist.

The next time you search for an iPad app on iTunes for your kids, do check out Touchoo for an interactive and touch screen learning experience.
