Something for the Weekend - 2

Video on the web has been a big success. But with all the videos which are appearing on sites like YouTube or MetaCafe, how do you sort the good from the bad?
One answer is to use a video aggregating site which scours other sites and gets real people (like you and me) to vote for the ones we like. More votes mean that the video stays on the site and less votes mean that it eventually disappears.
One such site is Videosift. You can choose the type of content which interests you - say humour or politics (very often these are the same!); then get a ranked list of popular videos which you can watch directly on the site. One warning - if you are not careful this will take over your entire weekend and possibly the rest of your life:)

One that has a good reputation is "Download.com". Now go there and download "Spyware Terminator". This free program has just been awarded Web User Magazine's Gold Award. This is the link: http://tinyurl.com/2ox8n5 You will want to scan your computer straight away. Don't be surprised if it turns up some nasties that you didn't know were in your system.
