Facebook: Add music(Muziic) to your profile

Posted by Palahubog | Tech Trends | Wednesday 30 December 2009 1:30 pm

When Imeem got owned, where do you get your music now? You wish facebook had a good music application. Well, your wish just came true. Introducing Muziic, music application in facebook which allows you to add  some radio stations, to search and listen to specific tunes. And most importantly, you have the ability to create playlists and share them with your friends just like Imeem.

Is this imeem’s reincarnation? Apparently not, its from facebook, the non-stop innovation social network. What more can you expect from such a social network giant?

In contrast to many other music-related apps on Facebook, as soon as you install it, you’ll be able to listen to music – and lots of it. Besides the featured songs, and the ability to search for albums, artists and songs (the actual music is pulled from YouTubeYouTube), the most welcome part of the app is a list of online radio stations, organized by category, similar to the one found in iTunes.

Though you are listening to free music and radio stations, you won’t be hearing many advertisements.  Here are a few words about Muziic from the application’s creator, David J. Nelson:

“With Muziic, the goal was to create an application that actually gives Facebook users what they want in a music app. As someone who is not a big fan of most Facebook apps, I wanted to keep the experience clean, functional and user friendly. No incentivized garbage, forced friend invites, etc… Just a music app that delivers.”

Muziic also enables you to easily create, save and share playlists, and comes with a quite useful Facebook tab that displays your listening habits, similar to the way it’s done in Last.fm. On it, you can find user’s playlists, recently played songs, favorite radio stations, top artists and top tracks.

Though, you cannot download music from this facebook music application yet. We can expect that in the future and I am quite optimistic soon that will come. This application is rock solid as it is constantly gaining fans and users right now. You can now go to facebook and start enjoying this application. Let me know if you have anything bad to say about this app.

How to download videos from any site?

Posted by Palahubog | Tech Trends | Sunday 29 November 2009 3:09 am

Many websites today offer video streaming. You can enjoy watching the videos, but you can’t download them. These are very common on many well known websites. Why would they limit us from doing this? I really don’t know why but I think its because streaming these videos are already consuming much bandwidth from their connections, much more if you add downloading to it. Another very easy explanation would be they simply want you to come back to their website to watch the video again, rather than download and play it locally without having to add traffic to their site. There could be many other reasons but it does not matter, there are many tools you can use to download these videos.

Download Helper is a freeware add on for Firefox browsers. This add on allows you to download videos and images while you surf the internet. DownloadHelper also allows you to download files one by one, so that you keep bandwidth usage low for browsing other sites.

Just surf the Web as you are used to, when DownloadHelper detects it can do something for you, the icon gets animated and a menu allows you to download files by simply clicking an item.

You can download the DownloadHelper add on here.

Below is a screenshot on how to use DownloadHelper after installing it.

I have downloaded lots of videos using DownloadHelper and I have tested it on facebook, youtube, dailymotion, Google videos and some porn sites as well. This tool is very useful for downloading videos while surfing other websites. You can just  select videos to download and put them on the queue while the initial videos you selected are being downloaded one by one.
