The YouTube Insult Generator Makes Insults Searchable

The YouTube Insult Generator doesn’t really generate insults for you out of thin air. It functions more like a search engine. What it does is look for insults found on Youtube based on the keyword that you’ve entered. It’ll then give you insults you can use against a person who doesn’t like that term.

It finds stuff only about 50% of the time, but it works surprisingly well when it does work. Try general terms (“car”) and pop culture (“michael jordan”, “i love lucy”). Each insult includes a link to its source YouTube video.

How does this work? It uses the YouTube API to search for the top 50 most relevant videos for your search term. For each of those videos, it grabs the latest 50 comments. Then it looks through all that for comments starting with a number followed by a word such as “people,” “youtubers” or “nincompoops.”

Some people may not approve of something like this being created but I for one welcome anything that can be used to improve an existing comments system structure. Besides, where’s the fun is reading comments if not for the “smart” insults?

How to Always View YouTube Videos in HD

This is a simple guide on how to make the most of your YouTube experience.

There are a couple of things to remember before proceeding.

• First, you need to have a decent internet connection. If you have a slow internet connection and still want to view YouTube videos in all its HD glory, then fire away.

• Second, you need to be logged in to your YouTube account. If you do not have a YouTube account, then it’s time to get one. This guide involves changing a couple of settings in your YouTube     account.

Now, assuming that you have a decent connection and you are currently logged in your YouTube account, you can now begin with the settings. I’ve provided some images to guide you to the process.

The first thing that you need to do is to go to your YouTube account page.

The next step is to click the Playback Setup which is located on the left sidebar of your YouTube account settings. From there, you can select/tick the “Always choose the best option for me based on my player size.” And select the “Always play HD when switching to fullscreen (when available)” tick box.

In this settings page, you can also remove the captions and annotations if you do not wish to see them while playing YouTube Videos, especially when being mesmerized by the HD quality that you are watching.

After making the right settings, you can now always view YouTube videos in High Definition and greatly improve your viewing experience in YouTube.

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.

SaveVideo.Me: Download Videos From Different Video Services

The internet does not come short when speaking of downloaders for YouTube hosted videos. There are a number of good YouTube Video downloaders out there that you can utilize for that task. But, what if you want to download videos hosted on sites other than YouTube? SaveVideo.Me has come to save the day. It is a video download tool that will let you download videos from YouTube and other video portals as well.

SaveVideo.Me supports YouTube, DailyMotion, MetaCafe, Veoh, Flickr, Google Videos and blip.tv. The service works like most basic online video download tools. All you need to do is copy the video URL, paste it on SaveVideo.me and hit the download button. When your link to a file will be generated – press the link “Download video file” (under the form) the right mouse button and will select in the menu, “Save link as…”

Some of the video-hosting-services do not provide you with the real name of the video file.

So you will have to rename the file before or after saving (for example: video.flv). Also it is possible to copy the address of the generated link in any program for downloading (for example: FlashGet).

For play video (.flv and others) – use for example: VLC Player.

You can download videos in FLV, MP4, MOV, AVI or 3GP (mobile) formats depending on the video provider. If you need a different format other than the downloaded format, you’ll need to use a video converter.

The service is still new and has a lot of room for improvement. They could include a converter which will allow users to download any video format of their choice, like other video download tools that are available online. Also, adding supported sites such as Vimeo, Twitvid and other video hosts on their list will definitely make SaveVideo.me more versatile. Other than that, the service is extremely useful if you want to download videos from video sites other than YouTube and it will definitely make my list bookmarked sites.
