Tweetube - Share Videos on Twitter 2

Posted by Marcio Castilho on January 15, 2009

TweeTube just released! It is the easiest way to share videos on Twitter. You can share your favorite videos quickly with short URLs. We know how important that is. One of the most coolest features is that it lets you track the visits and comments for the videos you share.

You don’t need an account with them. Just use your Twitter credentials. The passwords are kept encrypted in the database for a short period of time. 

The easiest way to use the service is to use the provided Bookmarklet. Just drag and drop it to your bookmarks bar. It is that easy! (Note: If you’re using IE8 though, because of the new security (you know, allow/deny) you’ll need to right click on the link, select “Add to favorites” and “allow” when prompted). After that, when you’re watching a video on YouTube, just click the bookmarklet and share the video.

Sharing a video is really simple. Just press the “Share” button.

For now, you can only share YouTube videos, but in the near future, more video providers will be supported. Happy TweeTube’ing!

Update: Tweetube was brought you by the same developers of PageGlimpse.

PageGlimpse Library 1.1 Released 1

Posted by Marcio Castilho on January 15, 2009

A couple months ago, Rush Frisby, a .NET Developer have come up with a library to make it easier for .NET developers to access the thumbnail service provided by PageGlimpse. 

This library makes it very easy for .NET developers to use the PageGlimpse API. The download comes complete with an example you can use to get started. The library can also be used in other types of .NET projects, not just web apps.

This new version adds support for the new ThumbnailExists method, Proxy support and a better implementation of the “nothumb” parameter.
