Playlists on Youtube
May 5th
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.
Kolaveri Di is just a leaked part of a bigger hit, yet to be heard
Nov 23rd
Dhanush is definitely a talented actor and we’ve seen now that when he starts singing you can’t stop people from going crazy about it. Recently, this actor turned singer got down to show us what it is to go viral on Youtube. Till date we hadn’t seen many Indian videos growing this popular in such a short span of time. And if you are still wondering what I’m talking about you must be living under a rock lying in a corner of a dark cave. On a serious note, u need to check this video out before you go outside telling you haven’t heard ‘Why This Kolaveri Di‘ (means ‘Why this killer rage?’ in English) yet.
It was confirmed by Dhanush that the clip is only a leaked version of the actual song yet to be released. It was released on youtube as a video shot in the studio where it was being recorded. Music composer Anirudh, Dhanush, Shruti Hassan, Aishwarya and Sound Engineer Sivakumar can be seen in the video. The actual song will embellish the upcoming Tamil film, (3). It recorded more than 1.6 million views on Youtube in under a week, which is huge.
Let us not ignore those seven hundred plus dislikes this video scored. This is the state of pretty much every video on Youtube. Even the best video ever HAS to get a handful percentage of dislikes. Maybe there is a secret society of haters sitting wired in, who hit dislike as soon as a video is released or there are dumb people who wish they could hear something everyone is dancing to or Grammarians. Or it might simply be that the music plays so much around a person that it has passed the limit to which he can tolerate even the sweetest thing on earth. We’ll never know.
Anyway, I love the song and I gave it a thumbs up on Youtube. I wish it goes crazy viral out of the country too and gets more hits than the damned Justin Bieber’s – Baby
If you liked it please press the like button on the left and share it with your friends. Like our fan page on Facebook (on the right). It will be a great support to me 
Cheers
The most efficient way to Download Youtube videos
Jan 20th
Any other way (in terms of system resources and time) of downloading youtube videos cannot be more efficient than just changing a letter of the URL. The following method allows you to generate direct links to download the video in flv format or iPod friendly mp4 format. To download a Youtube video follow the follow the simple instruction just once. The next time you won’t have to look at this.
Instruction:
Change the “y” of “youtube.com” in the youtube URL to “3″. Like this:
Similarly adding “kick” before youtube in the URL does the same thing. (But typing 3 more letters is comparatively less efficient). The pwn youtube method no longer works directly, but still redirects you to a useful place. Using download manager and other plugins are mathematically less efficient too (system resources). Cheers.
