gifsoup.com : A Website That Convert YouTube Videos to Animated GIFs

Why would we want to turn a YouTube video into a GIF? Well, GIFs upload easily onto personal Web pages on places like MySpace. Instead of having to click on the entire embedded video and waiting for it to load, your followers will see the GIF as soon as they click on your page.

GIFs have limitations, though. Since a GIF is really just a series of images played in sequence, these images are often very large and may take time to load on slower internet connections. For this reason, GifSoup limits us to 15 second video clips.


The process to make a GIF is easy. First, paste a URL into the box under the words Create Animated GIFs from YouTube Videos. Then click the yellow button that says Create GIF.


The site then prompts you to register. If this is your first time using the site, you will need to create a user name and password. Click Register when you are finished.


Your video will then load into the video maker. You can play your video in the player at the top of the screen, then click the Start Time button to start recording frames for your GIF and the End Time button when you are finished. You can restart these multiple times, so making a mistake is not a big deal. Remember: you can only record 15 seconds.


Give your GIF a category and title. If you want to keep your GIF private rather than sharing it with other GifSoup members, put a check in the box next to Private. When you are ready, click Preview to view your GIF. Your GIF will appear at the bottom of the screen. If you like it, click Finish. Otherwise, you can keep playing with the start and stop settings until you do like it.

GifSoup then displays choices for using your GIF. You can give a direct link to the video, copy a code to paste the video in a forum, email or Web site, post the video directly to your favorite social networking site, or download it in either small or original size.

GifSoup does exactly what it claims to do. You can turn a YouTube video into a GIF in just a few seconds with little effort. While we struggle to think of a professional use for this (since there is no sound in a GIF, and GIFs have largely lost popularity in the past few years), it is fun to turn comical video into an animation to share with friends.

RoundMyPic.com : A Website that lets you add rounded corners to the pictures with bevel effect

 I know many of you like to make your images better by adding rounded corners to them. This can be done with any photo editing software like Photoshop and GIMP but why go through the time-consuming heavyweight software when you can do it online within seconds?

RoundMyPic.com is a simple online tool that lets you add rounded corners and bevel effects to your pics. Simply upload an image from your computer and click ‘Round it now‘. You can also give your image a new width and height and choose not to have a bevel effect. You can also specify a round size for your image. The resulting image can be easily downloaded to your computer.

 First, go to RoundMyPic.com. On the right of the screen, click the button that says Browse to upload the image. Select the file you need to make it round edge and click Open. Click the button that says Round it Now. Your photo will then upload. This may take a minute or so, depending on the size of your picture and your internet connection speed. After your picture uploads, scroll to the bottom of the screen and click the yellow Download button. Choose the location on your computer where you want to save your file and click Save. You now have a picture with rounded edges, ready to use in a PowerPoint presentation, on a blog, or anywhere else you want.


Resizing a picture before giving it rounded edges is just as easy with RoundMyPic.com. On the first screen where you upload your picture, click the link that says More Options. Several options are now available. You can choose a new height and width for your image, how large the rounded edges should be or you can turn off the bevel effect all together. The options are in pixels, so choosing a new image size may take a bit of guessing to choose the right size for your image, especially without a lock aspect ration option. Once you have made your selections, just click Round It Now to see your results as shown below:

Note: Regardless of original picture format, Round My Pic’s results appear as a PNG.

Name That Color : A Website That Find Name of Any Color with Name That Color

Below is the color given....can u name it??? Difficult to tell isn't it? Given a shade of color to me like Cornflower Blue, I would call it nothing but Sky Blue. Being a typical guy, I have no clue what the colors Lavender and Mauve look like. You can show me Indigo and I won't know if it's more like Violet or Purple. So if your situation is also similar to this or in case you need what is the actual name of the color you just came across, then this website would surely help.


The application is called Name That Color and is developed by Chirag Mehta, which helps people to create a color on the screen (or copy-paste CSS hex# color) and find out the name of the closest matching color. Either you can get to know the name of the color using the hex codes or create your own.

In case you wish to know the name of the color that you just saw somewhere on the screen, then the tool published yesterday called ColorPix would help. Using that tool you can first find out the hex code of the color and then using that code you can actually get the name of the color that you came across.

There are so many, in fact more than 1500, colors that finding the names to all of those would be difficult, so you can also play with the drop down menu provided in the application itself.

How To Generate Terms of Service and Privacy Policy for your Website??


What is Terms of service?
Terms of service (commonly abbreviated as ToS or TOS) are rules which one must agree to abide by in order to use a service. Unless in violation of consumer protection laws, such terms are usually legally binding. Terms of Service can also be referred to as Terms of Use or sometimes merely a Disclaimer, especially regarding the use of websites.

Certain websites are noted for having carefully designed terms of service, particularly eBay and PayPal, which need to maintain a high level of community trust because of transactions involving money. Terms of service can cover a range of issues, including acceptable user behavior online, a company's marketing policies, and copyright notices. Some organizations, such as Yahoo!, can change their terms of service without notice to the user base.

A ToS violation can result in myriad consequences towards those who are guilty depending on the service and the severity of the violation. Most organizations reserve the right to restrict a user's access to the service if they violate the terms in the agreement. In more serious cases, the user will have his or her account terminated.

What is Privacy policy?
A privacy policy is a legal document that discloses some or all of the ways a party gathers, uses, discloses and manages a customer's data. The exact contents of a privacy policy will depend upon the applicable law and may need to address the requirements of multiple countries or jurisdictions. While there is no universal guidance for the content of specific privacy policies, a number of organizations provide example forms or online wizards.

So what do you do if you have just started out as an entrepreneur of your website and want a ToS/PP of your own? I checked onto links on Google which gave me what I really wanted. A Terms of Service Generator! Some of the links have been provided here, Check them out.







There are many more...you can search them in GOOGLE.

WinPing : An application That Ping and Test The Internet Connection

WinPing is a tool that has been designed to enhance the basic pinging capabilities of Windows. Among the additions are: Infinite looping pings, Multi-ping, adjustable number of retries, Displaying of information about hosts, and saving the ping results in a log file.


Enter a web address or a valid host name, e.g. http://www.google.com or google.com, or a valid IP address, e.g. 98.137.149.56 (IPv4) ,[2a00:1450:8006::93] (IPv6). The IP addresses are converted into host names and conversely. An empty input gives local IP address.

The button "Options..." opens the WinPing options: Infinite Loop (runs pings in a infinite loop and shows the average in real time), Time options (Timeout, Temporisation between every ping in milliseconds), Multiping (for several pings one after the other), Retries, Average of the response times, Hostname List, ip-to-country File... Sort and Replace utilities will allow you to edit and save host name list, countries list or any text file.

The "Auto-Save" option will allow you to save thousands of lines of pinging information (in Infinite Loop Mode).

A Ping Graph (with axis scale and Y-offset adjustment) allows you easily to view, in real time, Average and Pings points for every loop. You can easily save and load the Ping Curves using the Graph Options.

This version updates ping error messages, and updates IP address pinging. Now you can ping an IPv6 address, and you can show all resolved IP addresses of a domain name.

This program works with all version of Windows. If your system is Windows XP or older, it requires the Microsoft .NET Framework version 2.0 or higher.

Pros
A ping is essentially a utility that is already part of most OS including Windows, that can be used to detect connectivity. This is done by sending out a message to a remote host (IP address, or URL / alias) and hearing for a reply. This process is called pinging after the nautical term which describes a similar process of sending a ping and hearing for a reply.

Cons
It does little to add to the existing Ping application in Windows, except for adding a couple of options such as infinite pinging and logging of each ping. Neither of this is of much use for anyone, including hardcore networking people. Extra information about a host can be gotten from a WHOIS query. It is not at all clear why this information is required as part of the Ping reply. Basically, this tool will be useful for a person who is specifically interested in trying out various flavors of pinging and not for too many others. If the application had supplied a trace route feature or a link to a trace route server then it could possibly be much more interesting. But even then there are web based applications already available for that purpose. For basic network troubleshooting the in-built Windows ping application is more than sufficient. Thankfully, this is freeware, so enthusiasts can try and play around with it to their heart’s content. Users should be aware that there will be run-ins with their Firewall / Network Security suite when using pings, disable those before you can receive them.

KeepMeOut : Website That Solves Your Internet Addiction.


I am very much addicted to YouTube, FaceBook, Twitter and blogs, well others may be addicted to many different sites of their interests. If you are a worker or an online entrepreneur, this can be an even bigger problem, because it will decrease your productivity and possibly your bottom line. You keep telling yourself you have to get started on your work instead of visiting these sites, but every time you sit down at your desk and open your laptop, you keep getting distracted.

Barcode Yourself : Website That Makes Individualized Barcode Information


The series of lines on virtually everything you can buy today is called as a UPC (Universal Product Code), more commonly known as The Barcode. The original barcode was patented in 1952 and started out as a combination of concentric circles rather than the lines of varying thickness that we recognize today.

The invention of the barcode is responsible for speeding up checkout lines and allowing for easier inventory management. No longer does a cashier have to search for the errant price tag to key in the amount manually.

Literally anything can be barcoded. Have you ever wondered what you're worth?


Barcode Yourself is a complete, interactive experience in the series of barcode art, created using the personalized data of participants. Enter an individual's gender, weight, height, age and location, and the barcode is formed using real-world data. The system assigns you a price value based on age, gender, location, height and weight, much like an insurance company would calculate risk assessment or longevity.

The individualized barcode can then be printed, mapped, scanned, even depicted on a t-shirt or coffee mug.

It is in scanning a barcode that the project reveals its humor, like a banner that reads: Disclaimer! Human beings are not merely worth somewhere between one cent and 10 dollars. With the complexity of mocking self-identity, Barcode Yourself lays out a fresh absurdity in the modern world of consumerism.
