Stuff you think about but don’t talk about

Free TV Online

I wonder when the television will be swallowed by the Internet… With the acquisition of YouTube for $1.65 billion, and with the explosion of free tv online sites, I think we are quite close. Until then I recommend you to get familiar with this kind of applications that offer access to various tv channels for free… Here is one:

MuviBee – a great tool

If you wanna watch some music videos, then MuviBee should be your choice. It’s a web application, which combines information from Youtube, iTunes and Amazon, to bring you quality music videos, and informations about your favorite artists. Searching is very easy, you can have playlists, and you can check out charts from different countries.

Is Google the best search engine?

In Romania, there are a lot of people who use exclusively Google as their search engine. While I respect their point of view, and think that Google is very good, I believe that there are tools that, in some cases, can bring you better results.

I hope you’ve all heard of Del.icio.us, the social bookmarking web application. If you hadn’t, Del.icio.us is just an online collection of favorite links. The interesting part is that you can search through others bookmarks. In many cases you’ll find sites that are really cool, and are not that high in Google’s hierarchy.

Those who use Del.icio.us are above average internet users, with very good skills in finding interesting information. So, Del.icio.us, depending on what you search, can offer you more high quality results…
