Embedr Makes Online Video Playlists

4:30AM Adam Pash | Fancy yourself an aficionado of online video? Curate your own long-playing video playlists with Embedr, a new site that links together online videos from popular video sites (including YouTube) into one embeddable video extravaganza. The service is a breeze to use: You’ll need to create an account to make your own playlists, or just head to the site and enjoy some compilations (like the “Best Moments from Lost” video embedded here). Creating playlists is as simple as pasting the URL or embed code from any of the many supported sites. Like the idea? If you give it a go, share your video compilations in the comments.

RamISP Grabs RSS Feeds For Google Chrome Users

10:30PM Kevin Purdy | Google Chrome lacks native RSS reading and handling, for the moment. There’s a nifty webapp, however, that can fill some of the void for users of web-based feed readers. The applet at RAMisp.org’s page is tailor-made for Google Chrome users who use Google Reader, Pageflakes, Netvibes, or My Yahoo for their RSS reading. Let’s assume, though, that a halfway savvy coder could modify RAMisp’s page to incorporate other readers (and please post a link if you host it!). To use the service, head to feeds.ramisp.org in your Chrome browser, then drag the “Auto-Detect RSS” bookmark onto your bookmarks bar (if you don’t see a bar, activate it with Control+B). You can also grab a “View RSS Feed” if you want to see a site’s feed in your browser. Head to any page with an RSS feed available, hit your “Auto-Detect RSS” link, and you’ll land on a page with the feed displayed and auto-subscription links at the top: More »
