Top 5 addictions on internet

Internet has become a very attractive destination even for non geeky persons after the evolution of web 2.0.Most of internet users can be divided among three categories first are those which access internet only for their work,they have definite scope of site over internet and rarely access sites out of their scope,second category is of those people who spend most of the time on internet for their work and remaining time is just consumed by just for fun purpose sites and third group belongs to those who spend very little time of their internet access to work and most part of that time is just for fun over net.

So a major portion of internet users spend lot of time on internet without any usefull work on it.Do you ever thought which internet sites consumes most of their time.We have a analysis over this issue and here is our report.Here are the top 5 internet addiction.

1.Youtube

In my opinion, YouTube is like some addiction. Once you get addicted to YouTube, it is very difficult for you to look on other websites. As a result, it has become world’s no. 3 website in terms of user traffic. You can find almost every video on YouTube. It is king of piracy. Almost 80% of the videos on YouTube are pirated. Even you can watch complete movies on YouTube on the same day of its release. Its bandwidth costs are estimated at approximately $1 million a day. It has millions of videos featuring latest albums, cricket and other matches, news channel videos, cartoons, scandals etc. A few days before, I read somewhere that people in US are prefer to use YouTube on Television.But there other video sharing sites which perform the same task but their impact is less.

2.Myspace

Everyday 230,000 new registrations take place on MySpace. It is haven for gossips, photos, blogs and malicious comments. It is banned in almost every schools, businesses, offices and libraries. But people make use of web proxies and fake browsers in order to log in to the site. If you count the number of blogs on MySpace.com then believe me it has more number of blogs as compared to blogs on blogger, wordpress and others taken together. It is also spoiling young generation by allowing them to create obscene profiles. For several hours, people browse through MySpace profiles just to see photos. So MySpace is the biggest time killers on internet. I would like to add Orkut and FaceBook to this list also. But they are more or less just like MySpace, so I am not giving separate description for them.

3.Google earth

Google Earth is a virtual globe program which maps the earth by the superimposition of images obtained from satellite imagery, aerial photography and GIS 3D globe. I remember the day when I found Google Earth first time on internet and I started searching my home in google earth. After this I visited almost every place through Google Earth which I knew at that time. You will feel great pleasure while identifying known places on Google Earth. You will think some magic is going on and you are in heavens.But it consumes a lot of time.

4.Digg

This is some kind of geeky material.Digg is the most popular social bookmarking website. It allows its registered users to share content from anywhere on the Internet, by submitting links and stories, and voting and commenting on submitted links and stories. Voting stories up and down is the site’s cornerstone function, respectively called digging and burying. Thousand of stories get submitted every day, but only the most digged ones appear on the front page of Digg. Almost every blogger has a dream, that is to make his or her article on the front page of Digg. But it is very difficult. Still webmasters and bloggers try their level best to do so. They spend many hours on Digg to analyse the nature of articles which are most digged and commented. There are many Digg type websites on Internet like del.icio.us, reddit, stumbleupon, mixx, yahoo buzz. But noone is as addictive as Digg.

5.Flickr

Flickr is the most popular image and video hosting website. Here users can share their personal photographs. Flickr is used by widely by webmasters and bloggers as a photo repository. This is a big warehouse of photos. Here you will find millions of photos from wide variety of cultures, nations, traditions. People from all over the world have photos uploaded there. Even professional photographers love to share their photos on Flickr. No doubt, it is the most addictive photo website of the world.

This is just a common idea about the most time consuming and addicting sites.People may have different choice.Some of them might go for wallpaper,MP3 downloaing, wikipedia,yahoo answers,Google reader,news sites etc.You can share them with us by writing them in comments.

How to join Youtube (.flv) videos

If you have youtube videos (.flv ) in many parts and want to join them as one video then there are several ways to perform this task.The easiest way to join flv videos is to use a software called Avidemux. With Avidemux you open the first part of the video and select Append from the file menu and select all additional parts of the video this way. They will simply get appended to the previous part(s) and you can use the Save video function to save the joined video which contains all parts.

A good indicator that a part was added is to look at the playtime of the video which should increase by about ten minutes for every part that you add to it. The video is saved again as a flv files and the procedure does not take longer than a few seconds if you save them as flv as well.

You could also convert them to avi for instance by assigning the avi file extension to the filename that you want to save.

Convert YouTube videos into MP3 files

First of all download the desired video from YouTube.Once you download the FLV, I recommend you move it to the VLC installation folder.

Now open up the command prompt (Start > Run > “cmd” [Enter]). Change the directory to the VLC installation folder using the cd command. Once you’re in the VLC folder (with your .flv in the same folder), enter in the following command and swap in your source name and export MP3 name:

vlc.exe "source.flv" :sout=#transcode {acodec=mp3,ab=192,channels=2}:duplicate{dst=std{access=file,mux=wav,dst="export.mp3"}} vlc:quit

Try to put all of that code into one big line. Once you hit enter, this command will open VLC, go through the GUI and actually transcode the video to an audio file for you, then it will close VLC. This command is actually just the command-line version of going through the VLC GUI from File > Wizard…

Online Videos beyond You tube ? broadcast yourself

There are several Internet users who upload and download videos from You tube only.Though You tube is the major player in the online video market but there are other players too like meta cafe, Google videos, daily motion, yahoo videos, my space, break, AOL videos, Veoh etc. Don't ignore them just because you are dealing with major player.










Though they have a very little market share but can be very use full for providing the exposure to your video.Though it might seems to be very unusual to some of the users that even after acquiring You tube Google is still running Google videos unlike the yahoo's action to yahoo photos which was closed earlier this year after Yahoo acquired Flickr.







This is different thing, what we are discussing is why should a user not remain limited only up to you tube for online videos. Some of these sites are doing good as well like Google videos has a collection of more than 11000 full length movies which might be surprising for some of the die hard you tube fans.

Internet is all about expanding horizons so don't limit yourself, just expand and broadcast yourself.

Download videos by software in AVI, MPEG, IPOD, PSP compatible formats

In the sequence of posts related to video downloading from Internet.Today i am going to talk about a software rather than a site like the previous posts.It is VDownloader [Download here] which is nearly 3MB in size and can download videos from various but small range of site including you tube, Google ,daily Motion etc.

This is its limitation but the good reason is that it provide the facility of downloading the video in formats like AVI , MPEG and even mp3 only.

What you have to do is to just paste the URL of the desired video in to the bar and select the format in which you want to download video.Now just sit back it download the video in the desired format.

In AVI format you can even select the output size of the video like AVI 320x240,640x480 and
320x240 (which is supposed to be of low quality ,as mentioned in the software)

It can even download video in IPOD and PSP compatible formats you just select it.

I found it very good for use but the only limitation is that it does not support a bunch of sites for downloading videos
