Download Youtube Videos As iTunes MOV or MP3 Files Directly
While there are tons of tricks that let you download flash videos from Youtube or Google videos in either FLV or AVI format, Vixy.net is a new player in this game with a difference.
With Vixy, you can download Youtube videos directly as a Quicktime video or a audio-only file (MP3 format). Vixy will effectively extract the audio portion from the Youtube video for you.
When you submit an url, this service will download and convert the video format. Then you can download the converted file.
And like Keepvid, you still have the option to download in the standard Windows AVI format with the DivX codec or the MP4 format for the video iPod
Apart from Youtube Videos, Vixy can help you covert any FLV file to AVI/MOV/MP4/MP3 format online.

Photo Stamps
Web site Stamps.com lets you create your own personalized photo stamps.
If you're big into sending out holiday cards, creating a personalized holiday stamp could be a great way to put a personal touch on your outgoing mail this holiday season. The catch, of course, is that these personalized photo stamps cost about $.90/stamp (less if you go bulk), so you won't be paying any bills with 'em. We mentioned making personalized stamps once before using Yahoo! Photos, but it required you to have a Yahoo! Photo account. With Stamps.com, you just upload the image you want, no membership necessary.

BitTorrent geeks now movie moguls
BitTorrent increased its play in the entertainment industry today. BT has struck a deal with an impressive array of production companies and networks to deliver entertainment digitally to the masses. Among them MTV, 20th Century Fox and Paramount Pictures. BitTorrent is known within silicon valley for its leading peer-assisted digital delivery plaftorm. Scary for theatres is that BT can deliver content before theatrical dates. Cineplex/FamousPlayers plans to be "the Google of entertainment". Note the word "plans". At present, seems only BitTorrent is capable of delivering these massive files over the internet. It is reported that BT accounts for 40% of the traffic on the internet. And once broadband services and their appliances are up to snuff this should spell the end of theatres as we know them, placing the experience first and not the content. That means theatres will have to start cleaning their bathrooms, changing their light bulbs when they burn out, provide snacks that you won't make you ill, shorten the line-ups and acknowledge you when you walk-in. Or else the seat price will never bear the brunt of this diverted access to entertainment. Not to mention, they are losing their key teenage audience. I muse on how this will change the face of TV programming very shortly. In the last few days, our major networks appeared hat-in-hand at the CRTC to obtain the right to levy a fee to their satellite and cable licensees and in turn begin charging consumers for programming–because in fact revenue has dropped at the hands of digital delivery to PC and mobile appliances. Try to explain that to viewers of the Lawrence Welk show! (Isn't the cost of living high enough?) The CRTC said "no". Wouldn't a fee shrink the audiences further? Could these fees offset the increased loss of ad revenue as audiences shrink? This is short-sighted. Bean-counters must be involved, pandering to shareholder nerves. Like the dailies, TV networks simply don't have a Plan B. Or is that Plan BTorrent.

PageBull
PageBull is fun. Instead of a traditional, text-based results, it returns (relatively large) screenshots of the pages in question, ordered on a grid. PageBull is even highlighting the search terms right in the screenshots. It's nice to see they focused on getting the visual aspect right, instead of creating yet another meta searcher which simply adds thumbnails among a multitude of other gimmicks, none of which turn out to be really helpful. This way, while this won't be a replacement to traditional, Google-style searching, it looks like a very useful tool for certain types of explorative searching.

TAKKLE - Sports social networking site
TAKKLE, social network for sports enthusiast, today announced that it has closed series A round of funding. Investors in the funding round include WMG Investments, Greycroft Partners, IJ Smith Enterprises, and Jack Schneider, Managing Director at Allen & Company, Inc.
TAKKLE targeted mainly towards amateur athletes helps bring together amateur athletes, coaches and fans in a webby environment. Site enables uses to keep track of their favorite teams and players. TAKKLE currently provides most of the basic features including ability to join groups, invite friends, upload photos, view other users profiles, message box,…..TAKKLE team is working on building its its own video network, and provide other interactive features like ability to check out the top athletes by sport, and league.
Being a niche site is a great idea but at the same time implies access to a smaller user base. Given the intake of cash, TAKKLE should provide a much more comprehensive data on the sports events, enable users to track team/player activity and analyze performance data and videos using web-based tools to attract a broader set of users.

Powerful Search Features in Netvibes
Here's an interesting new feature from Netvibes, probably the best personalized homepage . Now you can perform a search in all your feeds simultaneously. You can filter only recent content from your feeds, and also from other modules like Gmail or ToDo list. While searching your feeds is not something innovative, this feature is powerful because you can see each feed separately.
But the fun starts when you add search modules for web search, image search etc. If you click on Search, you'll get results from all the search engines and for all the search flavors simultaneously. To see the snippets, you have to hover over each search result, but that's the price you have to pay in order to see all this information in one place.
I know what Google would say: "but we have Google Ajax Search API", and it's very nice, but Netvibes' solution is simpler and works for almost any module.
