Some of the most popular articles and videos on the internet are bad news or something very provocative that was followed by a lot of discussions. Here we have a rare example of someone who got really famous due to his generosity.

YouTube represents one of the biggest databases on the internet, which gives you access to a lot of videos that you cannot watch in your lifetime. It also represents a really good place for great motivational speeches, university lectures, tutorials, and many things.

YouTube is a really great place if you want to learn new things, and also publish your own videos. You can use it as an online library in which you put your own videos too, without having to lose hundreds of gigabytes of your memory.

If you had no time or interest to watch a long YouTube video but were only interested in seeing a short portion of it, where a particular word is mentioned, Invideo can help you. It is a light extension that once is installed, it is shown on the video page, on the right side of the video that you are currently watching. There you can type any search term that you want to find out in the video transcript and then hopefully get that same match inside it.
I have already written about a really helpful Chrome extension that can be used to hide recommended videos on YouTube, but I wanted to write about it once again, as I want to emphasize something that may have slipped unnoticed in the first article. This Chrome extension does not hide recommended videos on the right side of the video that you are watching, but also on the homepage. I learned about it only a few months after I initially started using it and the reason for that is because you have to manually go and turn on this option for yourself.
I recently learned about a new developer related site that I really liked. It is a place where many recordings of conferences about software development have been listed. Continue reading

Have you ever gone to watch a short informational or educational YouTube video, only to find out that two hours have passed, and you are still watching many other related videos? If that’s your case, then you are not alone. We all get trapped into this process of mindless watching many YouTube videos without any prior intention. Luckily, there is a really beneficial Chrome extension, called DF YouTube. It hides recommended videos on YouTube and gives you the opportunity to only focus on the video that you are currently watching. Continue reading
Now you can learn a lot of things from the internet, from different websites like Wikipedia, Coursera, YouTube, Udacity, Udemy etc., but you may not be interested in spending a lot of time with some beginner stuff. I know that the last sentence may sound a bit rude about people who are just starting to learn something, but it was not my intention to do that. In reality, we are all beginners at a certain period of time. In this post I will be talking about watching videos faster on YouTube, or to be more specific: speeding your process of learning on YouTube, by watching some videos faster. (You can use this method on other videos too, but I prefer to use it mostly on videos about learning.) Continue reading
More than half of the population of the world actually uses social media and finding someone who is not using them is very rare, that it can even be seen as a strange occasion. And also, the vast majority of the adults use social media during a good portion of the day, that in fact resembles a lot of hours wasted only on scrolling down the wheel of the mouse, or swiping on a smartphone. Only a few friends of mine don’t use Facebook, because they see it as a big waster of time, so they have been able to resist using it. Continue reading
