This may be old news to some, but new to some. I hope it’s new! There is a fairly new web servers on the web called Muziic, you can visit this service by clicking this link right here. What’s best about this is that its free and the people who made it are father & son. Muziic allows you to listen to any song through YouTube and other videos.
You can listen to radio stations and play videos from YouTube as well. The web service states “Muziic makes extensive use of the YouTube API, forming the web’s first ever “YouTube for Music”. This program is available on Facebook, iPhone and iPod touches, online, and of course on your computer! I believe it’s only for Windows at the moment but I am not entirely sure.
Best of all, it is perfectly legal. When you search for a song you have an option to add it to a playlist and you can save that playlist to your computer so you can play the songs and shuffle them. So, it is like Pandora but better because you get to choose what you listen to. You can also customize it with skins. Check out the screenshot below of what I have mine set to!
YouTube recently came out with a new feature titled “Feather”. The main purpose of the feather project is to have less latency when watching YouTube videos. YouTube says on their page “The “Feather” project is intended to serve YouTube video watch pages with the lowest latency possible.” Of course I opted into this beta or else I probably would not be writing this post and I found it interesting.
Basically what it does to provide less latency and a faster video load time is provide the watch page with less images. It also uses advanced web techniques to better serve this purpose. Of course YouTube stated that it is a work in progress and it will not work for all videos right now.
With the new Google Toolbar it will make Firefox seem like Google Chrome. What I mean by make Firefox seem like Google Chrome is it will do the Most visited websites just like in Opera as well. If you do a new tab in Firefox it will show thumbnails of the most visited websites. This is an example of what I mean. The below picture is Firefox with the Google Toolbar.
As you can tell it has the most visited websites, recently bookmarked and anything else that you see when you make a new tab in Google Chrome. I think that Google wants Mozilla Firefox users to have the same experience that they get with Google Chrome. I also read that if you click on edit thumbnails you can press an X button and it will delete the thumbnail for all you sneaky internet users. Along with that feature you can also access the Google Toolbar on the go from any computer IF you save your settings. You can also add gadgets to the toolbar like the YouTube gadget. It’s also set so you will view suggestions instead of broken pages / pages with errors in them. This is what the Google Toolbar looks like
I might have to try this toolbar sometime. You can download it FREE at This link right here.
