Tools of the 'Tube

By
If you consider YouTube as a social network, it's the most popular social network on the planet. With billions of minutes uploaded all the time and billions more being watched on a daily basis (note: I'm guessing here, I looked at absolutely no statistics for my opinion) YouTube is a force du jour  for anyone needing to get their content in front of people.

 Compiled by +Denis Labelle, here is a list of YouTube tools (did you know YT had tools?) for those of us not burdened with enough extra cash to hire a professional multimedia consultant and studio:

And for those of you with a penchant for the cutting edge, here's where YouTube hides their special labs (as in GMail labs) called testtubes. Get it? Test tubes... YouTube. Tube?  Ah well, if you don't get it, then ask a friend. In the mean time:
TestTube: Ideas Incubator"This is where YouTube engineers and developers test out recipes and concoctions that aren't quite fully baked and invite you to tell us how they're coming along. Your comments will help us improve and perfect the mixtures we're working on. So jump in, play around, and send your feedback directly to the brains behind the scenes."

So, I asked Andrew Tamm, who filled my Stream with a hundred (sarcasm there) animated gifs and cat pictures to remove me from whatever Circle he has me in where he posts the animated gifs and cat pictures. It was either that or unfollow him and I didn't see any reason to unfollow him.

I'm shutting down Google+ for the night and quite possibly for the weekend. Why? This stupid #gifwars thing people are so proud of. This Adam Black guy said he doesn't like gifs and now everyone is mass trolling him. Having been mass trolled like this I can relate to him easily enough. Have an opinion and the collective might of Google+'s lower class denizens jump on a bandwagon. I just saw a post where someone wanted to jump on board and had to get clarification she was tagging the proper Adam Black. She wasn't even connected to him ! Nor was she a part of the original discussion. She just wanted to follow the herd. When I called her out of it she claimed, "one gif doesn't make a troll." Perhaps not, but she's contributing to a larger troll effort. One straw doesn't break the camel's back, but thousands will. So, tonight, Google+ disgusts me. It probably will tomorrow as well. And possibly Sunday. I gave up Google+ for two months this spring
