If you have heard of Russian roulette how about Chatroulette. This website is a simple website that connects you to random people with a web cam and a mic. Just be warned what you will see on the other side may not be that appealing to kids so keep them away from this site. The majority of those who view this site are men so men if your looking for women you have a better chance of going on a dating site.
Here is an article I found on the Newyorker. http://www.newyorker.com/reporting/2010/05/17/100517fa_fact_ioffe
Anyway here is a funny video of this Piano guy that does impromptu to those he encounters on Chatroulette.

Youtube capture plugin short tutorial. How to download the dam thing
I find myself sometimes wanting to watch my favorite youtube videos when I'm not plugged online. The problem is there had not been an easy way to do this until now.
Now I won't go to much into detail but if your a Mozilla firefox user then your in luck. If you don't have the mozilla firefox browser then I'd suggest you download it first
before going to the next step.
The plugin for firefox is called The Download helper. Its a free plugin that works with the Mozilla browser and pretty much works like this.
First you go to your youtube and find a video you want to download. (assuming you already downloaded the plugin) If you notice on the top left of the video there is an icon that look like three little colored balls. Click that icon and then scroll to the download.
It will save your file in FLV format. FLV is the flash format so you will need to have a FLV player. You can go to download.com and do a search on flv players or
click here to take you to one I use. This FLV player is not fancy but does the job and plays your downloads.
Now you can view your videos locally.

Saving your bookmarks online plugin for Firefox and Internet Explorer
Luckly I was able to recover my bookmarks which I use frequently by using this plugin called Xmarks which went by the name fox marks. If your a die hard Internet Explorer fan Xmarks has added the a IE compatable version of the plugin.
Anyway how this plugin works is you create a user and a password and it syncs(copies your favorites to their server) to what bookmarks you have and backs up your bookmarks on their server. The best part is your out of town on someone else's computer your able to login and view your bookmarks.
Check this out if lets say you had to do a reinstall you just go back and reinstall the xmarks plugin, login and update your bookmarks and its like you never lost them.
So now when you tell someone you found a cool website and you bookmarked it you can retrevie it online with no problems. I believe also you can share your bookmarks page for your friends to view as well so its a pretty cool favorites plugin.
So check it out Xmarks.com

Bookmarks plugin for Firefox and Googles Chrome Browser
Recently I went onto the firefox website to view some of the plugins that firefox has to offer its users. I found an interesting plugin that allows users to save their plugins onto a website using either firefox or google's chrome broswer.
The way it works is you download the plugin onto your browser. It will prompt you to log on when you first open your browser. Once you log on, the user can then save their plugins like normal. If you go out of town and say you forget what website you bookmarked you can always go to the website foxmarks and login and you will be able to view all your bookmarks.
The site has other features if you have an Iphone and other mobile devices for your bookmarks so check out the site. Foxmarks is a pretty cool plugin.

Fire Fox Tips and tricks and reviews
One of the features I love about Firefox is the different keyboard options that you can use to tab on certain pages. For example you can click control t to create a new tab, Control + or minus to zoom in and out.
Control W is to close a tab
Control shift t to open a tab on your browser
And Im sure there are others.
Firefox has a cool plugin to save your bookmarks called foxmarks. Its a plugin that allows you to manage your book marks from any computer.

Fire Fox review
The firefox browser allows a user to add different plugins such as the weather and other features that are free. The one feature I like from Firefox is that from time to time the browser to tell you when an update is available. Unlike Internet explorer the only way to get updates is when you do an update for the whole windows explorer update. Which at time is not often. Since Firefox is and open source browser, developers can make security patches to the browser and send the updates.
Firefox in my opinion uploads faster. There are some incapaiblities with some companies such as yahoo music but that is minor compared to all the benefits that Firefox offers.
This is just a short review on what I think of Firefox.

Quick Chrome Browser Review
This is my two cents about what I think of the new browser from Google. Chrome is the beta browser this is suppose to take internet explorers users share of the pie.
That will be yet to be seen. I uploaded it a few days ago and this browser claims to be more secure then Firefox and Internet explorer. One nice feature from the new browser is that the site shields the user from a phishing site or a malware site. Which I felt is a pretty cool feature.
Some of the things I didn’t like from the browser is that there is no home button. I even when to the options panel to see if there was an option to view buttons but no where to be found. The browser does give you a short cut on the top menu bar to your home page but if your familiar with the other browsers like I am. Well that’s kind of annoying.
Second when you want to set your home page it sets it to a different tab so your still on the google page.
If they make the view preferences easier then I would go with this browser. But for now I'm sticking with Mozilla Firefox. Easier to use, updates frequently, loads quickly, tons of plugins but thats just preference
