Link Videos from YouTube and Google Video with Lycos Mix

Youtube, MySpace Video and Google Video are probably the most popular video sharing website but with a small problem - you cannot access videos favorited in one service from another.

For instance, you can add videos to your Youtube playlist but that video list won't be accessible from MySpace or Google Videos (and vice versa). That's where Lycos Mix steps in.

Lycos Mix is a free video bookmarking service where you select favorite videos from Youtube, Google or MySpace and create a common playlist accessible from one central location.

No big deal, right ? The USP of Lycos Mix is that you can even invite friends and like-minded people to grow your video list by contributing their own favorite videos - quite useful when you are working as a team on some project.

And there an option to live chat with users who are also watching the same video mix.

Lycos provides a simple bookmarklet (MIX IT) to ease the process of adding new videos to your Lycos Mix account.

How to Download Contacts from Facebook To Outlook Address Book

Facebook users are not too pleased with the "walled garden" approach of Facebook. The reason is simple - while you can easily import your Outlook address book and GMail contacts into Facebook, the reverse path is closed. There's no "official" way to export your Facebook friends email addresses or contact phone numbers out as a CSV file so that you can sync the contacts data with Outlook, GMail or your BlackBerry.

Facebook offers the Takeout option allowing you to download all Facebook data locally to the disk (include

PhishTank Detects Phishing Websites by Digg Style Voting

OpenDNS, a free service that helps anyone surf the Internet faster with a simple DNS tweak , will announce PhishTank today. PhishTank is a free public database of phishing URLs where anyone can submit their phishes via email or through the website. The submissions are verified by the other community members who then vote for the suspected site. This is such a neat idea as sites can be categorized just based on user feedback without even having to manually verify each and every submission. PhishTank employs the "feedback loop" mechanism where users will be kept updated with the status' of the phish they submit either via email alerts or a personal RSS feed . Naturally, once the PhishTank databases grows, other sites can harness the data using open APIs which will remain free. OpenDNS would also use this data to improve their existing phishing detection algorithms which are already very impressive and efficient. PhishTank | PhishTank Blog [Thanks Allison] Related: Google
