1) take all my videos at one time and upload them to my specified youtube account in unlisted format.

3) then scrape the urls and put them in a text file so I can send them to clients.

The Hype Machine is a music blog aggregator app that was launched in 2005. What the service does is pull streaming music from hundreds of different blogs (over 800 at the time of this writing), and compile them all in a single location for visitors to listen to, rate, and ultimately discover.
The great thing about The Hype Machine and the characteristic that keeps users coming back, is that it is always fresh, filled with new content, and has the uncanny ability to find truly great music before it ever even hits the mainstream.
If you enjoy music and like being on the edge of what’s currently popular and trending on the web, you should pop open a new tab or window in your browser and start playing with the Hype Machine immediately.
The Hype Machine automatically pulls music from a wide selection of curated blogs and puts said songs in front of its community to up-vote, discuss, and socialize around. There is no download necessary, no monthly or hidden fees, and with a free account you gain the ability to stream unlimited music, favorite songs, artists, and blogs, and in the process begin to create your very own tailored music feed.
Freshest Blogged Music
With integrated streaming and seamless transitions from one song to the next throughout a rolling playlist, Hype Machine allows you to discover new music from dozens of different sources in a single sitting, and additionally allows you to expand your horizons without even thinking about it through spontaneous searches, playlists, tags, and a community that pushes a wealth of content your direction.
Music Blog Directory
With a host of new features introduced throughout 2011, The Hype Machine is a totally new pleasure to discover in 2012. All of the best parts of the original service are still here and as addictive as they ever were, but are also accompanied by a streamlined design and robust new features which have elevated the entire offering.
The Music You Never Knew You Loved
The Hype Machine possesses a tremendously integrated social strategy that allows the platform and its users to communally breathe, and facilitates pushing content to other platforms and individuals. Twitter and Facebook integration for example are riddled throughout the service, and available in a range of capacities, from publishing cool songs you find to finding and following your friends.
Find Your Twitter Friends and Subscribe to the Music They're Listening To
Hype Machine has improved leaps and bounds from its original incarnation, and with the current site’s slick new design and improving functionality, it has come full circle to leverage the dedicated community that was already in place before its host of new upgrades.
Hype Machine Truly Allows you to Show Appreciation for the Content you Love
The Hype Machine is a superb example of a website with well designed and executed streaming capabilities. Users have the ability to Tweet and post songs to Facebook directly from the interface while music is playing, surf throughout the site with uninterrupted play, and generally have a terrific experience of diving into song after song.
Searching for Songs by an Artist
After years of development, everything is streamlined, intuitive, and easy to navigate, and it truly drives home the fact that this is a community built around the discovery of new music, but equally built around sharing what people find.
Song Analytics
One of Hype Machine’s numerous new features is the ability to actually view a song’s favorites per hour and its blog posting activity over time. This can give users a great sense of why songs are so popular in the service beyond the signature ‘hearts’ that have always been used.
Song Analytics
Speaking of hearts, for individuals entirely new to this platform, when you do ‘heart’ a song it is then added to your personal page, where it can be saved and then played again later, shared with one of your friends, or followed back to the original blog where the song was originally posted.
The New Fast Forward Utility
Fast Forward
I would be remiss in not mentioning the new Fast Forward feature that Hype Machine recently introduced, because it essentially takes the best elements of StumbleUpon.com, and smashes them up with Hype Machine’s streaming to produce a fully functional blog surfer.
You heard that right- a music blog surfer that flies through recently posted material allowing you to find new music and meet the people who are actually writing about it. As always with Hype Machine, there is an integrated music player directly embedded in the tool to allow you to preview clips from the current page.

Following Other Users, Artists, and Blogs
Everything within The Hype Machine can now be followed and integrated directly into your personal stream. That includes music blogs, artists, searches, and specific genres of music.
Following Pitchfork
Visitors are also given the ability to ‘Spy’ on other users from their area and the songs that they are listening to, which is a very cool feature that gives you a good idea of what people are following around your neck of the proverbial woods.
Spy on Users
Hype Machine Radio Show
The Hype Machine Radio Show is a great way to catch up on the most popular music from month to month. The developers have even provided the ability to subscribe to these shows via iTunes, or download a complete MP3 of the session.
Hype Machine Radio Show
The Hype Machine is completely free to use, and users have the ability to stream any song they can find on the site in its entirety from start to finish. This is actually a surprising amount of content that you might not anticipate from your first interactions with the platform (Try a few searches for your favorite artists).
With direct links to purchase any track via iTunes, Amazon, or eMusic directly in its title, the site strives to keep artists and publishers happy by introducing new music to the masses while providing them a legitimate avenue for purchase and download.
The Hype Machine is a truly unique tool that fills a niche in the internet streaming world. Generally speaking, it will always have fresher content than the vast majority of its competitors, and theoretically, better content than the majority of its competitors due to the fact that any song hitting the main page has been published to the web by a blogger who at one point liked it, and then found it up-voted by the community surrounding them.
The fact that this is a free service you can leave open in a browser while you do other things is also extremely appealing, and now with the ability to go anywhere in the site with an uninterrupted stream, it provides flexibility that other platforms simply do not.
The Hype Machine is a truly great platform for the discovery and exploration of new music, and has a tremendously supportive community of followers within its ranks. It has personally been one of my favorite places to look for new music on the web for quite some time, and the majority of the site’s recent feature upgrades have only elevated the whole experience.
I can not recommend this website enough for the countless times that it has introduced me to something new that I have liked or loved, and for fellow lovers of music, it is an absolute MUST. Bookmark it now and let the streaming begin.
Bugs happen everywhere on the web, and it’s really annoying when one presents itself. Therefore, bug tracking systems exist in order to squash out problems by tracking a bug’s progress from being found to being fixed. If you’re making a website or web app, you sure don’t want your users to be wondering why your app is so buggy. Bug tracking systems have long been ugly system, however. While I’ll avoid naming names, some pretty major bug trackers just don’t look nice and aren’t presented in the user friendly way that they should be.
BugHerd is a breath of fresh air, bringing a beautiful interface and user friendly, responsive design to the bug tracking world. In addition to a beautiful interface, BugHerd provides a streamlined, straightforward bug review process that makes the procedure from reporting to fixing, testing and closing bug related tasks incredibly simple.
BugHerd has an incredibly responsive setup process. You simply create a project, providing a name and URL, and then install one of the methods of accessing BugHerd on your project’s site.
There’s three options for installing BugHerd: javascript on your site, a bookmarklet and an extension. The first requires you to actually place a Javascript code snippet on your site, which may be suitable for pre-release testing of a project, but may not be your best option to track bugs on a public site. The extension, available for Chrome only, allows you to access BugHerd on sites through the extension meaning not every visitor is presented with the system. The bookmarklet is my favourite method, simply because it allows you to access BugHerd at will without installing anything or changing any of your code.
Logging a bug in BugHerd
Once you have BugHerd up and running, in any of the three ways, it’s simple to start logging issues. On the left, a fixed tab allows you to open up the wizard for logging a bug. This is a staged process, starting with highlighting the specific area of the page in which the bug is located. You can annotate this with text, too.
By then using keyboard shortcuts (namely the tab key), you can fluidly move through the process which also includes assigning the bug to a specific collaborator and defining what level of importance the bug is. In the stages with multiple options, you can use number keys to quickly select an option, which is a great bonus.
Once an issue has been logged in your BugHerd system, you can click through to see it in detail, complete with comments. You can mark the bug differently too, including adding it to a to do list so you can easily manage which bugs are left to fix. When it’s fixed, you can also mark it as fixed, moving it to the testing panel. This is a great way to notify other contributors that the bug is thought to be fixed, and in need of testing and will (hopefully) lead on to someone marking it as closed, hiding it from any further view.
A project on BugHerd's website
Everything I’ve mentioned so far has been possible from within the panel at the side of your project’s site (accessed in any of the three aforementioned ways), but you can also manage your system right from the BugHerd website. This is much more of an overview view, however, acting as a dashboard view that aptly presents the current state of your bug tracking system. This includes a graph, showing the trends and frequencies of bugs over the last 14 days.
The only reason I visited the app initially was because it was referred with the line “bug tracking with a Twitter for Mac style design”, and let me tell you that it’s definitely right. The tabs of the app’s overlay on your project’s site are very like Twitter’s Mac app and Sparrow which looks nice. However, not only does it look like a Twitter app, but BugHerd feels like a Mac app through it’s use of elegant transitions both in the site overlay and the BugHerd website.
A to-do list in BugHerd
BugHerd provides a free trial for users to test out the service, although it’s ultimately a paid app. There’s three subscription plans available, suiting different requirements (as all tiered do). The lowest level provides room for four projects and two users, which will be enough for a lot of sites, available for $9 per month. The second tier provides 10 project slots and 5 users, as well as a range of other services for $29 per month whereas the $99 per month plan accomodates 50 projects and 25 users.
BugHerd will even reccomend a plan based on your current usage, a nice bonus.
The available payment tiers of BugHerd
I really do like BugHerd – it’s pretty awesome! The app is very straightforward and transparent, with it’s main functions being it’s only functions. There’s not much to configure or setup and the process of pointing out a bug to it being closed is a very linear, streamlined process that will be suitable for most scenarios. I love how simple it is to escalate an issue through a process that’s delegation features means it’s especially great for team work.
Collaborating in BugHerd is pretty great too, especially since reporters can assign bugs to specific collaborators, allowing different people to deal with different bugs more efficiently. The to-do list feature is another great aspect of the app, allowing collaborators to easily see what needs to be done (and what needs to be done first).
The whole experience of using BugHerd feels very streamlined and responsive. Interface-wise, it’s one of the best web apps I’ve used.

Whether you have picked up a new iPhone 4S or another iPhone model, here are five changes you can make in the settings to improve your iPhone experience.
When I am setting up a new iPhone, these are the first five changes I make in the Settings:
To display battery percentage in the status bar, go to Settings»General»Usage and toggle Battery Percentage to ON under the Battery Usage subsection.
To turn the Character Count on, go to Settings»Messages and toggle the option at the very bottom.
To change the sorting order of your contacts, go to Settings»Mail, Contacts, Calendar and touch Sort Order beneath the Contacts subsection to toggle the setting.
I remove this signature by going to Settings»Mail, Contacts, Calendar and Signature beneath the Mail subsection. You can remove the email signature altogether or change it to something else.
6. Introduce Yourself to Siri.
If you have an iPhone 4S, the coolest Siri trick I’ve learned is to introduce yourself to Siri, and tell it about your relationships.
First, hold down the home button for a few seconds to bring up the Siri prompt, then say into the microphone, “I am… [your name],” or “My name is _______.”
Now, add yourself to your Contacts and set your home address in the listing as well as any other info you want Siri to know. If you do this, then you can tell Siri, “Get me directions to home,” and it will know where to lead you.
You can also tell Siri, “[Name] is my wife/sister/mom (or whatever),” so that when you tell Siri “Call my wife,” it knows who to dial.
