It's viewer request time as a person picked at random asks us to take a look at a small social networking site called "Facebook." The site is supposed to let you upload photos, videos, while keeping in touch with friends from all over the place.
Sounds like a crazy idea. Could this "Facebook" actually catch on?
We've covered a lot of sites. Now we're going to step back and take a look at some of them to see what's changed. Did any of them get better, worse, or even get booted off the Internet?
The answer to that question is yes.
So you want to download a something from a file sharing site, but then you've got to wait 30 seconds before you get to download because you don't have a super-mega account.
SkipScreen to the rescue. This Firefox add-on and website claims it can help you get around wait times at these sites. Is it easy to use? More importantly, does it work?
Watch this episode of "ChannelFlip Web" to find out.
So you've decided to join the world of social networking. You want to have a Facebook vanity address, you want @yourname on Twitter, and you want just one web identity. Now you could check all those sites and hope they have your preferred name available.
Or you could use Namechk.com. Namechk checks to see if your username is available or not on tons of sites? Find out more in this episode of "ChannelFlip Web."
Want to post your ideas, videos, photos, or whatever online at one place? You should check out Posterous.com.
Here's how this works: send an e-mail with an attachment to Posterous and they put your e-mails together in a blog. Sounds too easy, doesn't it?
Check out if Posterous can turn a non-blogger into a blogging fiend in this episode of "ChannelFlip Web."
We're changing some things here at FiniteComedy.com. Instead of having all of our shows within one giant home, we're moving to individual sites for individual shows. This just means that each show site will have its own look and feel. We hope you like where we are going.
ChannelFlip Web is the website review show that was brought to you by ChannelFlip.com and FiniteComedy.com
Originally part of "ChannelFlip Tech," "ChannelFlip Web" was spun off on Sept. 23, 2008. The last episode ran Mar. 2010.
