WetPaint is a service which lets you create your very own wiki site for any topic of your choice. The creation process will not take much of your time. It only takes a couple of minutes in three easy steps to generate your own wiki site. It’ll take you two steps if you choose to invite users to your wiki site some other time and head right on to learning and editing your created wiki.

If you don’t mind the ads that are injected in your created wiki, then you might find WetPaint a useful tool for creating wiki sites. They have available templates and different themes for you to choose from. You can also use your own domain name for your created WetPaint wiki.

Setting the created wiki site to be open to anyone will let anonymous users/visitors to edit and add content to your wiki pages while setting it to invite only mode will give you a more secure wiki site. There are also easy-to-use management features available in WetPaint. You can assign moderators which makes it easier to keep track of the flow of content in your wiki site.

Infinite YouTube Anyone?

Here is a simple service that gives you non-stop YouTube streaming. If you wished that you can just watch YouTube without hopping from video to video, InfiniTube is the right tool for you. It will keep playing YouTube videos automatically and continuously.

All you need to do is simply enter a keyword or a set of keywords in Infinitube and the engine will search YouTubes related to your search and automatically play them for you without hassle. If you’re too lazy to even enter a keyword(s), you can also choose to watch random videos by just clicking a link.

This is a neat idea and is great for heavy YouTube users. No more clicking the videos one by one. It’s also great if you want to watch related YouTube videos, just enter a keyword and it will automatically start streaming. You can easily skip to the next video if you don’t like the currently playing video in InfiniTube or go back to the previously played video. A repeat feature is also available if you happen to miss a portion of the video while it’s streaming.

PodiPodi Opens to the Public

You may have noticed the flashing black thing every time you visit Orangeinks. It’s a plugin called PodiPodi. In case you missed our review on PodiPodi, it’s a website enhancement tool that lets you upgrade your website and packs it with multimedia viewing features, Google searches and lots of other cool stuff. PodiPodi is embedded in a page as a java-script gadget, but thanks to its unobtrusive architecture it doesn’t change the page layout.

Anyway, I would just like to inform you all that PodiPodi is now on public beta. You can register for free and try out the plugin in your own websites. You can tweak the features inside your PodiPodi account and choose which features you want to be available in your blog or website.

Added Features:

•find: just type in find and some text (e.g. find widget) and PodiPodi will search and highlight for you all the matched words in the page containing the searched text.

•Google Gadgets: this is probably the most exciting update! Now you can customize your PodiPodi with thousands of Google Gadgets and bind them to whatever commands you’d like to give to your users, from weather reports to news or games! If you are a developer you can create your own Gadget, post it to Google Gadgets and embed it in your PodiPodi box.

•admin tools: we have worked on the administration pages, now it’s possible to change the password, the name and URL of your website.
