You can upload and convert up to 5 videos at a time. It’s output formats included .avi, .mp4 (apple), .mpeg, .3gp (cell phone), .mov, and .flv (flash). It’s best feature is that it’s free.

I know, it looks weird, no www, no .com but it really is a website. It’s using .us instead of .com, and a subdomain of del so there’s no need for www. So all you have to do is enter in the word delicious with some stratigicly placed dots and you’re in. del.icio.us is a web based bookmarking, or favorites program. You can organized all your bookmarks online and share them with others. You can even automatically post them back to your website with some of their widgets and codes.

RSS (or Really Simple Syndication) feeds are free content feeds from websites that contain article headlines, summaries and links back to full-text articles on the web. Most websites, especially ones with changing content, have RSS links that you can subscribe to. This will save you a lot of time from having to go to every website everyday to check on the newest stories. So now all you need is a RSS reader, or a feed reader. I am suggesting Google Reader for the following reasons:

  • You can just enter the main address of a website, like faithhacker.com, and if finds the feed for you.
  • It is web based so you can access it anywhere.
  • You can organize multiple feeds into different categories.
  • It supports video and other content.
  • You can access it on your cell phone at www.google.com/reader/m

They can make a tiny tweak, or bring a whole new range of features. Here are some of my favorites:

  • Flashblock – Blocks all flash on webpages. Only loads if you click on it. Great for sites like MySpace that have unwelcome and risky ads.
  • Forecastfox – Weather in your lower info bar; current temp and conditions, 2 day forecast, hover over for radar.
  • del.icio.us Bookmarks – If you have a del.icio.us account you can post sites with one click.
  • Download Statusbar – Instead of a pop up with download status, you get a nice little progress bar in the bottom left of the status bar.
  • Google Browser Sync – Syncs your passwords, bookmarks, & more with Firefox on different computers.
  • StumbleUpon – tool bar that allows you to randomly find kewl websites with one click.
  • Tab Mix Plus – Tab manager for Firefox. Total custom controls.

This browser for your cell phone is now one of the most used feature on my phone. The start page includes an address bar, search, bookmarks, rss feeds, & history. It’s also very fast. Just go to mini.opera.com on your cell phone and download it. Or you can go to www.operamini.com on your computer and text the download to yourself. The processing of the website is don’t on Opera’s servers so you can visit almost any website out there and it adapts to your phone.

Think of eBible like a web 2.0 Bible. But eBible.com is not only an online Bible, it has multiple versions of the Bible, commentaries, dictionaries & encyclopedias. It is also a place to get a greater understanding and share. eBible.com is adding more tools all the time like browser toolbars & rss feeds.

Wordpress is prewritten software you can upload to your website that creates a blog-based website on your own servers. Then you can customized it with predesignedtemplates, plugins, and widgets. It’s a quick way to throw up a website without a lot of work. This site, FaithHacker.com is built with wordpress. Here are some examples of sites I’ve made using wordpress:
