Playlists on Youtube

Let us keep that joke aside for a while and accept the fact: “It is easy to find stuff when it is properly organised”. It’s cool only in comics, to have your bed heaped up with stuff scattered randomly.

I’m a huge fan of the word ‘efficiency’ and also ‘ninjas’ of course and ‘cats’. Again, quips aside, efficiency, it is a properly designed action that would give you a maximum output from a minimum input. It doesn’t spontaneously happen. It takes a conscious effort to design that action. Some people do it for you, they put in the effort needed and make your lives easier. These people are respected, they manage to gather a huge influx of goodwill from their audience (you). Such an effort directed to design that action gives them a sense of satisfaction and hence helps them to earn a living out of the work they enjoy doing.

‘Efficiency’ gives me a direction to discuss: Playlists on Youtube.

People who make Playlists on Youtube or upload videos/vlogs that are basically directed to make Youtube organized, are the people I’ve been talking about. I can recall tens of such people, who today, actively post videos/playlists on Youtube that are either compilation of a huge amounts of data from different places or an eclectic mix of information aimed at discussing a single topic/issue.

The first person I’d bring to light essentially has to be Michael Stevens. He posts these greatly informative videos overflowing with facts in his Youtube channel VSauce. His videos usually belong to LUT, DOT, Leanback, DONGS, IMG! etc, the categories he organizes them into. My favourite among these categories is the DONG category. It is an acronym and DONG stands for ‘cool free stuff you can Do Online Now, Guys‘. With each video in the DONG category directing you to a 15 or so other interesting places on the internet, for me is the most engrossing category. Similarly, videos from some categories in this channel are bound to keep you wondering for a while. Other videos will force you to replay them again and again an you’ll notice something new every single time. Some other interesting Youtube channels you’d want to go to are CGPGrey, SciShow, MinutePhysics, DanBrown (Pogobat), Veritasium, CrashCourse, Numberphile, SixtySymbols etc…

Tell me in the comments about the other channels you follow, how they help you to find/stumble-over things easily.

The summer heat and the holidays make life boring. The WWW has some fun places buried deep that feature the popular culture and other interesting stuff. It makes passing time much easier. Here I’ve compiled a list of the world’s most engrossing places on the web that can help to while away time like there was none.

Popurls

A huge live list of the best stories around the world. Gets the data from famous social bookmarking websites and the best blogs.

One place for popular links.

Jimmyr

A home made version of popurls started by Jimmy Ruska.

Digg

The most popular social bookmarking website with loads of stuff to discover. Digg introducing some new social features, a sneak peek in the following video:

Cracked

Funny starts here. These people know what’s funny and what’s not. The most experienced humor website on the planet. Must see the funny lists and videos.

Icanhasinternets

No one other than the author of this website knows what the name means. But, its pretty funny to just read it. You’ll wonder where these people get som much LMAO stuff to post daily. Just click the randomizer button on the right pane and have fun.

Funny Or Die

Another Cracked.com styled website. It features loads of original funny videos. Famous for parodies of literally anything in this damned world. Updated daily.

OMGPOP

Play higly addictive multiplayer games here. Even if your despise online flash gaming, its a must chek out (Apparently you are searching for something to pass your time with so no other go. Go to OMGPOP now). Must play Missile command now.

Addictive multiplayers, fast load times, slick OS kind of interface, real players, Facebook integration.

Kongregate

A place where you find the cream of flash games from around the world. You’ll end up spending hours on this website. Some of the games you must try for sure are indestruc2tank, continuity, tower defense games, robot wants puppy, red remover, stacker series, filler and many more. Sign up and level up.

Addictive flash multiplayers, best flash games around, leveling up system, neat design. Nothing more you could ask of a flash games website.

That was the first part. I don’t keep drafting stuff and adding more and more to it before publishing. One sitting should convert at least to one post for me. We’ll see another such list pretty soon before you are done with this one.
