Spooky Websites That Will Keep You Awake At Night


What are the things that creep you out and keep you awake at night? Bad movies? Ghost stories? Strange sounds outside your window? A spider crawling over your pillow next to your face? End of the world predictions? The future?
Some of the following spooky websites are good scary fun, others are quite serious in one way or the other. Consume with caution and don’t go to bed alone.
Ghosts & Ghost Stories (http://www.ghostsandstories.com/index.html)

If you’re looking for scary videos, creepy pictures, or haunted stories, visit Ghosts and Ghost Stories because it is one spooky website has everything you need for a long, cold, and dark winter night.

http://www.makeuseof.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/Spooky02.png


Besides reviews of ghost-related games and movies, the site provides tons of material on ghosts, including pictures and videos. The most interesting section are the ghost stories. They are sorted into different categories. Under Classic Stories for example you will find the entire manuscript of Charles Dickens’ “A Christmas Carol”, while “Campfire Stories” contain short stories, including ones submitted by the site’s readers.


The Ghost Show (http://www.theghostshow.com/)

The Ghost Show is another spooky website that provides scary ghost pictures and their stories, information about haunted places, and details about the electronic voice phenomenon (EVP) or ghost voices. Unfortunately, it seems like the ghost videos site freaked out and ran away, the link leads into a dead nowhere.

http://www.makeuseof.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/Spooky03.png


Not scared, yet? Well, stop poking around the main menu and move down to the bottom of things. Watch the Scary Pop Ups (http://www.theghostshow.com/scary-pop-ups.html) videos or play the Scary Maze (http://www.theghostshow.com/scary-maze.html) game. For the full creep factor, be sure to turn your sound on.

Apocalypse Soon (http://www.apocalypsesoon.org/)

This is not another ghost stories page. Apocalypse Soon is dead serious. Are you a good Christian, a Jew, or a Gentile? Do you believe in the prophecies of the Bible?

http://www.makeuseof.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/Spooky04.png
Scary, isn’t it. But should we be worried for real?
Dianetics (http://www.dianetics.org/)

The official Dianetics website is a visual pleasure. Beware! They will capture your attention with an advanced flash design, lock your interest with scientific argumentation to lure you into the Dianetics seminars, and finally reprogram your brain and make you a slave of the Scientology church sect. Don’t step into their traps
!
http://www.makeuseof.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/Spooky05.png
While “experts” are still arguing about ghosts and the apocalypse, Dianetics is real. Real creepy. And really messing people up.

Unlock The Block


http://www.makeuseof.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/00-finding-the-keys.jpg

The problem is, there are always some ‘good’ sites that also get blocked in the process. And it’s very annoying if you really do want to work but unable to access the necessary places.

Assuming that you are going to use it for a good cause, there are many solutions available on how to get past blocked sites, But you can’t get too many alternatives, can you?

This article will show you another way how to get past blocked sites. You’ll need your own domain hosted in a PHP-friendly hosting service and a script called PHProxy (http://sourceforge.net/projects/poxy/).

You can try to use a free web host (http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/top-7-easy-and-free-web-hosting-services/) for this purpose. The basic rule of thumb is, if the host can handle Wordpress, it can easily handle PHProxy. However, not all free hosting providers (are willing to) support this script.

How to Get Past Blocked Sites



After you download PHProxy, unzip it, then upload these three files: index.php, index.inc.php, and style.css to a directory in your site. You can use any existing directory in your site, but it’s preferable to create a new one.





http://www.makeuseof.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/01-Three-important-files.jpg





To upload files or create a directory, you can use any FTP client or use the online “File Manager” provided by your host. This is usually accessible via cPanel (and may have a different appearance depending on what kind of cPanel is used).



http://www.makeuseof.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/02a-Online-File-Manager.jpg



Inside the File Manager, choose “New dir”



http://www.makeuseof.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/02b-New-dir.jpg



And then create a new directory by writing down the desired directory’s name and click the checkmark.



http://www.makeuseof.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/02c-Create-a-directory.jpg




Then choose the newly made directory to open it, and click the “Upload” button.

http://www.makeuseof.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/03a-Upload-file.jpg



Browse for the three files and add to the upload list. Click the green checkmark to upload them.



http://www.makeuseof.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/03b-Browse-for-files.jpg





And you are done.

Note: In some cases, you may have to create the new directory inside the “/htdocs” directory.

Using PHProxy


Using PHproxy to access blocked sites is very easy. All you’ve got to do is point your browser to: http://yourdomainname/the-new-directory-name/

If nothing goes wrong during the installation (read:uploading process), then you’ll see the following PHProxy display.



http://www.makeuseof.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/04-Using-PHProxy.jpg



Just put the address of the blocked site in the “Web Address” field and click “Go“.

iFixit (http://www.ifixit.com/Guide)

As the screenshot below reveals, iFixit provides manuals for the iPod, iPhone and Mac. From the iPod product line the original device, the iPod Nano, iPod Mini, iPod Shuffle, and iPod Touch are covered, including different generations of each item.


http://www.makeuseof.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/iPodRepair02.png



Once you have tracked down your device, you’ll see an overview of available information.
The “Step-By-Step Guides” address specific issues and how to fix them.
The “Teardown” explains how to open your device and examine its inner beauty. This is also helpful if you need to replace single parts, for example the battery. Generally, each step of the guide also has user comments with questions or further information on what may or may not work as described.
“Related Questions” come from the “Answers” category of the website. If you’re having an issue that has not yet been described, you may find a hint in this section.
The “Troubleshooting” guides help you to track down the origin of your problem and finally you may need “Parts” to perform your own iPod repair. Here is a list of all Troubleshooting Guides (http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Wiki/Troubleshoot).
ipodrepair (http://www.ipodrepair.com/ipodrepairguides.htm)

This site is mostly interested in selling you parts. However, they have produced PDF tutorials that show how to disassemble the iPod 3rd and 4th generation, the iPod Mini, and the iPhone 1st generation (2G) and 3G. A video is available for the iPhone 3G.


http://www.makeuseof.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/iPodRepair04.png



Sometimes it helps to consider several guides for the same procedure, as they may highlight different details in the text and images.
Do-it-yourself repair descriptions in pictures and text are all good. However, nothing beats a video, which reveals all the subtle details and difficulties of using tools and fixing devices.

ifixipodsfast (http://ipodhowtovideo.com/)

“I Fix iPods Fast” provides Video iPod repair Tutorials for the iPod Video, iPod Photo, iPod Mini, and iPod 3rd and 4th generation. More models are listed, but no videos are available, yet.


http://www.makeuseof.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/iPodRepair03.png




There is a list of available video tutorials in each iPod category and below each video you’ll find a summary of its content, a warning in case it’s especially difficult, and tools needed.
Further assistance may be provided at FixYa (http://www.fixya.com/search.aspx?cstm=0&_s=ipod), a sited dedicated to free product support. You may also find help on wikiHow (http://www.wikihow.com/Special:GoogSearch?cx=016562026678751929112%3Aohfd gqnedms&cof=FORID%3A10&ie=UTF-8&q=fix+iPod&siteurl=www.wikihow.com%2FFix-a-Broken-iPod#874), Instructables (http://www.instructables.com/tag/?q=fix+iPod&limit%3Atype%3Aid=on&type%3Aid=on&type%3Auser=on&type%3Acomment=on&type%3Agroup=on&type%3AforumTopic=on&type%3AforumTopic=on&sort=none), and YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=fix+iPod&search_type=&aq=f).

There is something about random quotes that makes us pause and read them. Quotes and proverbs don’t need to condense the wisdom of the ages in a concise line. It’s not always wisdom; some adages are marked out by biting sarcasm too. But the moot truth is that it touches our thoughts or in some cases…a nerve.
We, who are literary or philosophically challenged often fall back on these borrowed words to decorate everything, from a conversation to a letter. It often helps to make light a dispiriting situation …
“It’s a recession when your neighbor loses his job; it’s a depression when you lose yours.” – Harry S Truman
Or to see the funnier side of love…
“The perfect love affair is one which is conducted entirely by post.” – G.B Shaw
That’s the whole point about quotes and sayings.


Being the attention grabber that it is, it makes sense to sprinkle it into the midst of our communication. And on the net, the most common form of chatter is email.
Quotes is a small utility which helps to us to sign off our emails with a flourish of wisdom.
The little tray application inserts random quotes at the end of email signatures. All the program settings can also be controlled via a right click on the tray icon.

http://www.makeuseof.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/Quotes_03.png
The freeware Quotes (http://www.qliner.com/quotes/default.aspx) fun tool supports Outlook and Windows Mail/Outlook Express. Online email apps like Gmail or Yahoo aren’t left out. You can easily add a quote to your compose window using a hotkey. The default is Win Key + Q (the Win Key+hotkey combo is configurable from the settings page of the program).
The random quotes are retrieved by the program from an online database. Most of the settings for the program also reside online and that’s why a free sign-up is a first step. The collection of quotes is tagged and can be viewed by right clicking the icon and clicking on Browse Quotes.


http://www.makeuseof.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/Quotes_02.png
The user can subscribe to specific random quotes based on the tags. For instance, if you want to receive and use quotes only on ‘Technology’ or ‘Friendship’, the settings page is where you select the tags and subscribe to the quotes under it.


http://www.makeuseof.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/Quotes_04.png



Each user can also contribute random quotes and help to increase the collection. Quotes can be uploaded as single quotes or as entire text files using the site’s interface. Apart from the tags, each quote is rated by the users and in the Quote Settings page, higher rated quotes can be selected for display in the mail programs. Quotes can also be marked as private and these go into a private collection of the contributor.


http://www.makeuseof.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/Quotes_05.png



There is no detailed tutorial as such but the online video explains the whole setup from start to finish. This is where a detailed instruction set would have been helpful as configuring it to run with Outlook takes a bit of trial and error. The hotkey combo of course, runs without a hitch in all mail applications. The one thing to look out for is spelling errors in some of the user contributed quotations.
The little app may not be dramatically useful in a lot of ways except perhaps bumping up the fun quotient of your emails. In the end it’s really a fun tool that makes an email a bit more interesting.
Quotes (http://www.qliner.com/quotes/default.aspx) is a 537KB free download and is supported on Windows XP and Vista.

AnyClip
(http://anyclip.com/)


http://www.makeuseof.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/moviestrip.jpg





As the end credits roll on and we exit the theater, what we usually carry with us are memorable movie scenes and catchy dialogues. With time, they become part of cinema folklore. Generations later, we still quote lines like – “Frankly, my dear, I don’t give a damn.” (Gone with the Wind) or “Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya, punk?” (Dirty Harry).
And that’s why we go back for re-runs on a DVD or on HBO. Or these days, we also hop onto the World Wide Web and scour some of our favorite video sites. to search movie scenes. A new startup website, AnyClip (http://anyclip.com/) hopes to meet that need with the service it promises.


Sites like YouTube and MetaCafe host a huge assortment of movies and clips. But their sheer volume itself makes it difficult to fetch that defining moment from the scores of user generated video clips. Then again, our search may hand us spoofs and takeoffs. Though sometimes funny, it’s not the real deal.
This is where AnyClip comes in. The new startup (the developers call it a prototype) is designed to give movie lovers quick access to those unforgettable cinematic moments. You can rewind and reprise the exact scene without having to press the fast forward button on your DVD player or any streaming web player. AnyClip brings to the viewer not the entire film but only those talked about scenes that we continue to cherish.


http://www.makeuseof.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/AnyClip01.png



This is the heart of the reason for starting up AnyClip. Aaron Cohen, the CEO also talks of other very real commercial reasons at Why the World (Including Hollywood) Needs AnyClip (http://blog.anyclip.com/post/194942431/why-anyclip).
As a member of the movie loving public, I am interested more in the ‘heart’ so I signed up to see if I could get any clip I want.
The sign up process is simple without any “verify your mail” links landing up in my inbox. And I went straight through to the site.
The web service has the Audience Award at TechCrunch50 on its shelf and at first glance it’s easy to see why. Apart from the usability and adding to it, the second reason has to be the easy-on-the-eyes design. The menus and sections are not crowded and it makes for a leisurely stroll through the site.
I can put in my search in the large search bar on top and select some choices (Movie, Actor, Director or Quote) from a dropdown. For wider browsing, I can click on any of the sections on top. For instance, I can even browse by type of scene – Laugh, Sing, Kill, Fear and Oh God!


http://www.makeuseof.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/AnyClip02.png
Clicking on any from the sections – Movies, Actors or Directors…takes us to the page where you can further browse to the video by its alphabetical title. If you can’t find the movie (quite possible now as the site is spanking new), put in a request using the Suggest a Movie text box.


http://www.makeuseof.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/AnyClip03.png


What about the video itself? You can click on Go to clip page and choose to watch the selected clip using the site’s web player. But if you are interested to watch the entire movie, the site connects to premium sites which are the legal distributors for the film like Netflix or the iTunes store. You can also order the DVD of the film from Amazon.


http://www.makeuseof.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/AnyClip04.png


But as it might be only the clip we are interested in watching, it’s the clip page we go to. The clip page is similar to any social media platform with sharing buttons and comments.
http://www.makeuseof.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/AnyClip05.png


The Promise Of Things To Come?

YouTube is still the favorite haunt for many movie lovers who search for movie scenes. But sites like AnyClip are starting to offer something different by focusing on quality rather than quantity. You might also have come across MovieClips (http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/how-to-find-your-favorite-movie-scenes-in-seconds-with-movieclips/) in an earlier review. Both sites are similar on the surface, offering myriad ways to search for the right scene. MovieClips is a much older site and therefore has a larger database.
That’s where you might be disappointed with AnyClip right now. The selection of movies is…let’s say, quite selective with only a few early classics. These are very early days for the startup but unlike MovieClips, AnyClip (http://anyclip.com/) is open to those outside the US and Canada. With AnyClip it’s not what is but what will be, that’s the part to look forward too.
If you like to go back to those cinema moments, do you think that AnyClip is a candidate as a standout web destination?

5 Cool Tips & Tricks In Windows Live MSN Messenger


Windows Live Messenger, formally known has MSN Messenger (provided by Microsoft), has to be one of my favourite messaging clients. I am on it almost 24/7 and there are a few nifty features that make the experience a whole lot better.
This will be a two part post with the first part covering cool Windows Live tips and tricks that you can do without installing any add-ons, and the second part explains how you can make your Windows Live Messenger experience much more fun.
1. Remove Those Annoying Ads

You may noticed at the very bottom of the Windows Live Messenger main window, they show ads to you. However, if they slightly annoy you from time to time, here is a trick on how to block them.
On your Windows computer, open up Internet Explorer. Click on Tools, then select Internet Options. Click on the Security tab, click on Restricted sites, then click on the Sites button.
http://www.makeuseof.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/internet_options_restricted_sites.png


Then simply add the URL http://rad.msn.com (http://rad.msn.com/). This serves as the Microsoft ad server and once you restrict this site, Windows Live Messenger will go from this:
http://www.makeuseof.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/msn_ads.png
to this:
http://www.makeuseof.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/msn_window_ad.png
2. See Which Contacts Haven’t Added You To Their Contact List

One of the most searched for keywords on my website is “how do I find out who blocked or deleted me on MSN”. It is really simple to find the answer and you don’t have to install any software on your computer or spy on your friends.
In Windows Live Messenger just go to Tools –> Options, go to the Privacy section, and underContact List, click on View. The list that is presented to you are all your contacts that have got you on their contact list. If a contact of yours is not on that list, they have either not added you or have deleted you because they don’t want to talk to you anymore – yes I know the feeling.
If going through that list will take a while, you can also download aMSN (http://www.amsn-project.net/) (which is a excellent portable MSN program for your USB drive). When you view your contacts, the contacts that do not have you on their list will have a red cross next to them.
http://www.makeuseof.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/amsn_contact_list.png
Another good thing is that you can send unlimited nudges to your friends.
3. Remote Assistance

MakeUseOf has covered many remote assistant (http://www.makeuseof.com/tags/remote-access/) applications such as Crossloop (http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/remote-pc-assistance-with-crossloop/), Instant HouseCall (http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/instant-housecall-helps-you-give-free-remote-support-for-a-pc/), LogMeIn, uVNC, and Foldershare (http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/control-your-computer-from-a-distance-using-remote-access/), but did you know Windows Live Messenger is another one? Just simply start a chat, select activities and click request remote assistance.
http://www.makeuseof.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/remote_assistance_msn1.png
Accept all the prompts, then the other person will be able to view your screen, and they can control your computer if you wish for them too.
http://www.makeuseof.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/remote_assistance_confirm.png
http://www.makeuseof.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/remote_view.png
If it doesn’t work, make sure “Allow Remote Assistance” is enabled by right clicking on My Computer, select properties, Remote, and tick the box.
4. Changing Your Display Name

Want to impress your friends and have a cool name and spell your name like Ĝмдїι.©ǾМ? Well, if you open up Microsoft Word for example, find some symbols that look like characters, or even change the font, you can then paste that text into your display name field on MSN. If you want, you can also draw images like these ones (http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20090303170733AAn0gO4).
5. View Contacts By Email Address

You may notice that in the new version of Windows Live Messenger, there is no option to view contacts by email address. I for one, view all my contacts by email address as I know contacts cannot change it (unlike display names which some contacts change all the time). By viewing contacts by email address, I know I am talking to who I want to talk to.
If you are in the same situation as me, here is a workaround to view your contacts by email address. However, it may be a bit time consuming.
What you have to do is give all your contacts nicknames when they are online. Just right-click on the contact, select edit contact, and copy and paste their email address into the Nickname box.
http://www.makeuseof.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/email_address_nickname.png
Unfortunately it may take some time to do this for all your contacts, but this is the only and easiest way I have found to view contacts by email. If you know of another better way, please let me know.
Remember to keep an eye out for my next post. You will be having fun with audio, and keeping up with what your friends have been doing.

GTDInbox

http://www.makeuseof.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/GTDInbox2.png
For the uninitiated, GTD (http://www.makeuseof.com/tags/gtd/) stands for Getting Things Done. GTDInbox (http://www.gtdinbox.com/) is a Firefox extension (though a Chrome version is in the offing) that makes it it downright easy for you to stay on top of your email.
Once you install it, it sets up some additional labels for you. Then, you are expected to label all your future email with one of those labels. You can sort mails into Contexts, References and Labels, then specify a status for each (i.e. Action, Working On, Someday, or Finished). These emails will now show up in a Todo list in the sidebar, and can be addressed as individual tasks. Once that’s complete you can simply process the emails as per priority. Read up on how to usehere (http://www.gtdinbox.com/features.htm).
Quick Access To Unread Emails In The Inbox

http://www.makeuseof.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/Unread-Bookmark.png
Here’s a Gmail productivity tip that I picked up a few days back. There are times when all you want to do is get hold of all the unread messages in your Inbox. Now you can do the same with just one word. If you are using Firefox, just search with the string “is:unread in:inbox” and bookmark the results page. Now, go to the Organize Bookmarks (that’s Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks) and click on the Bookmark you just created. At the bottom of the screen, click on more and type something easy and snappy in the “Keyword” field (I use “unread”).
Now, the next time you need all unread messages in your Inbox, simply click the location bar (hit Ctrl+L) and type the keyword you made for the bookmark.
Undo Send

http://www.makeuseof.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/Undo-Send.png
Here’s one to help avoid all those “Oops!” moments. Google, being the awesome bunch of coders that they are, allow you to call back emails which you have just sent. Just go to Settings > Labs > Undo Send > Enable to turn on the functionality. Next time you send an email accidentally, just call it back by clicking on Undo.
Filter Me Crazy!

http://www.makeuseof.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/Filters.png
All those labels that you created are basically useless if you have to manually mark conversations. Use filters to automate the entire process. Create a filter by clicking on “Create a Filter” at the top of the page or by going to “Settings > Filters”. You could make one to automatically tag all emails from Social Networks and make them skip the inbox. Or make one to scan subject lines for words like “Fwd:”, “Fw:”, etc. and mark them as Forwards. The possibilities are endless with Filters.
Add Your Calendar To Gmail

http://www.makeuseof.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/GCal-Gadget.png
It’s a major pain in the backside to fire up a new URL just to check with your Calendar. You can use the “Google Calendar Gadget” to integrate Google Calendar with Gmail. Just go to Settings > Labs and enable it.
In case you are a Remember The Milk (http://www.rememberthemilk.com/) fan, just go to Settings > Gadgets and type the following in the “Add Gadget by URL” box (remember to enable the “Add Any Gadget by URL” labs feature first):
http://www.rememberthemilk.com/services/modules/gmail/rtm.xml
The Powerful “+”

Filters are cool but tend to be messy. I mean, who really wants to create a custom search for specific words in their subject lines? It’s much easier to create specific email addresses. Gmail allows such functionality. In the eyes of Gmail, “[email protected]” and “[email protected]” are the same. So the next time you are signing up at a website, use the “+” operator and create a filter to apply to that email address. Life will never be easier.
With Gmail (http://makeuseof.com/tags/gmail/), nothing is more than a few clicks away. Particular features may be obscure, but once you know about of few Gmail productivity tips, you can really put them to good use. Gmail makes sure that your email works for you (and not the other way round). Use these tips and heave a sigh of relief.

http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/youtubelogo260.jpg



YouTube (http://youtube.com/) was created in 2005, but much like Google, it feels like it’s been around forever. We post our videos on YouTube, look for some silly entertainment during boring afternoons and send videos along to friends much like old ladies used to spread gossip around town not very long ago.
But should you be limited to YouTube (http://www.makeuseof.com/tags/youtube/)? Let’s be honest, there is a whole world of streaming video online that most people have never seen because they have settled for YouTube. Most sites have the same features, or features even better than YouTube has and some have a more specialized selection or much higher quality videos.
So here is a small sample of video sites you should check out that many people feel are better than YouTube.

Current TV (http://current.com/)

http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/current.jpg
Current TV is a website that is also a TV channel, but unlike all other tv sites, that post their content from tv on their sites, Current plays the content from their website on TV. People post their videos, or pods, on the site which get voted by the community and the highest ranking ones get on their television channel. Current has an enticing variety of videos, but the heart of the site is its amazing independent journalism. On Current, you can see all the reports that usually don’t get on television, or a whole new approach to the news you do see. For video producers, it’s a chance to get your video on tv and a little bit of cash to go with it.
TED (http://ted.com/)

http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/ted.jpg
TED is unique in the world of streaming video, and it is brilliant in its own way. TED’s whole concept is to spread ideas, and to accomplish that, it has enlisted some of the most brilliant minds in the world to create “talks” about topics as diverse as Eve Ensler’s “Embrace your inner child” (http://www.ted.com/talks/eve_ensler_embrace_your_inner_girl.html), Murray Gell-Mann’s “Beauty and truth in physics” (http://www.ted.com/talks/lang/eng/murray_gell_mann_on_beauty_and_truth_in_physics.ht ml) or Bill Gates’ “Mosquitos, malaria and education” (http://www.ted.com/talks/lang/eng/bill_gates_unplugged.html). Better than YouTube in another way, the search on the site also works in an ingenious way, letting you search by keywords or by themes such as: inspiring, beautiful or fascinating. For those of us who are eternal students, TED is a jewel of endless facets.
Big Think (http://bigthink.com/)

http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/bigthink.jpg
Following a very similar style to TED, Big Think takes an interview approach to its video instead of a prepared talk. The result is a very interesting group of answers that make you feel like you actually got to ask a famous expert the question yourself and he had the kindness to reply. It’s not as evolved as TED is, but it is certainly biting at its heels.
Atom (http://www.atom.com/)

http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/atom.jpg
If you think YouTube videos are funny, you’ve never visited Atom, previously Atom Films. With an enormous array of animations, comedy shorts and sketches, Atom hasn’t lost its edge after its acquisition by MTV. Because of its huge selection of talented filmmakers who normally contribute to the site and with their own staff filmmakers, who were selected from some of the funniest sites online, Atom manages to consistently have shorts that will lighten up the most boring of days.
Blip.tv (http://blip.tv/)

http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/blip.jpg
Created on May 11, 2005, the same year as YouTube, Blip.tv has mimicked what network television channels offer but using the same resource Current TV uses: independent producers. It currently has about 48,000 independently produced Web shows and approximately 22,000,000 viewers. They share the revenue of their ads with the producers, which allows them to make some income from their shows and keep producing them and in exchange, Blip.tv gets a constant supply of episodes for their site. So what can you find on Blip.tv? Mostly, the site consists of series of shows, much like television shows, with genres like dating, technology, animation and a diverse group of fiction stories.
5 Min (http://www.5min.com/)

http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/5min.jpg
Did you ever want to know how to photograph a red squirrel, how to reduce poverty in developing worlds or how to go geocaching with your kids? Well, you can find all of those answers and much, much more on 5min.com, the site that will try to teach you how to do almost anything in 5 minute videos.
World Wide Internet TV (WiwTV) (http://wwitv.com/)

http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/wwitv.jpg
WwiTV is more an aggregator than a video site, since it doesn’t store the videos itself, but merely points at videos in other sites. The reason it made this list is that it points at video channels from all over the world, so if you’d like to watch a soap opera from Azerbaijan or a music video from Vietnam, you can find it all on WwiTV. The quality is generally quite poor and the site itself is quite an eye sore, but where else would you find a North Korean video as top selection of the day followed closely by the Hellenic channel in Greece?
Hulu (http://www.hulu.com/)

http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/hulu.jpg
Television channels seem to have noticed that trying to keep their shows out of streaming video sites is a lost battle. Their response seems to be finding partners who will help them deliver the content in its entirety and in higher quality than the ripped versions of the videos while sharing the ad revenue. One of such partner sites is Hulu (http://www.makeuseof.com/tags/hulu/). It carries content from many tv channels at very high streaming quality. The one catch is that it doesn’t have international streaming rights for their content outside the USA, so it’s for an American audience only.
Vimeo (http://www.vimeo.com/)

http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/vimeo.jpg
Since it was created by filmmakers, Vimeo shows a very holistic and welcoming approach to video sharing. Vimeo (http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/top-4-sites-to-share-private-home-movies-with-family-friends/) tends to attract more professional filmmakers than other sharing sites, the video tends to be higher quality and the design certainly beats YouTube’s messy look. The community projects and groups also make it easy to find videos of a particular topic or subject matter and with almost 3 million members and over 17000 videos uploaded daily, there is a lot to choose from.
Stickam (http://www.stickam.com/)

http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/stickam.jpg
The proposal of sites like Stickam is very innovative. Let the audience participate by streaming their own video live. For most part, it works in an exciting way. Some shows are scheduled and you can stream your own video as an audience member and talk to the hosts or video chat among other viewers. It’s like being part of a live audience and always carrying the mike. You can also watch pre-recorded shows and interviews.
The one issue is that for a large part of the day, the site seems to be inhabited by the people who are most at ease with webcams, young teenagers. Nothing intrinsically wrong with that, but if you are looking for some more experienced discussions you must select your live streams carefully.
UStream (http://www.ustream.tv/)

http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/ustream.jpg
The older, more mature version of Stickam, Ustream also allows people to create their own broadcasting channels and their own live shows. It does, though, carry live broadcasting from many mainstream media sites and it doesn’t allow people to join in with their video chats the way Stickam does, but it does have live text chat.
The topics tend to be more interesting than Stickam’s since it has a lot of contributions from professional journalists who decided to try the live interactive video format.
Blinkx (http://www.blinkx.com/)

http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/blinkx.jpg
Why bother visiting a bunch of video sites looking for viral videos when you can find it all on one site? Boasting to be world’s largest video search engine with over 35 million hours of video from all major video sites, Blinx even claims to have indexed more media searches than Google. All you have to do is type in a keyword and you get results from major sites all at once.
There are literally thousands of streaming video sites to choose from, built just to entertain or inform you. Some are very niche, some copies of what we’ve already seen.
