I just found the easiest way to download Youtube videos to your PC without installing any software.
Before, I used to go to Zamzar and have them convert the videos for me then send me a link where I could download the file. The problem with Zamzar is that it could take around 15 to 30 minutes for their e-mail to arrive.
Here's a much easier way if you're interested.
1. First, locate the the URL of your Youtube video. I'm going to try it on this video of Lady Gaga's performance on Oprah.
2. Then on your browser, swap the " of the Youtube address with a number " so that it becomes 3outube.
3. When you go to that address, you will be taken to a page where you can download an MP4 or an FLV version of your video. I chose MP4.
4. A download dialog box prompted me to save the file and that's it.
What's good about this one is that you can drag your MP4 to iTunes and immediately sync it to your iPod without doing any conversion. I tried it with my friend's iPod Nano and it worked like a charm.
Go ahead and try it out!

How to Display Selected Friends Only on your Facebook Profile Page
You may have heard that Facebook gives importance to Privacy. That’s the reason why many of us like it. They allows us to customize most of the widgets and information in the profile page easily.
But had you ever thought that you could even edit the widget like the ‘Friends’ box, which shows random result. Facebook has options for this too. Even though many other social networking sites like like orkut, twitter etc too have these features, only Facebook values our privacy and helps us customize this.
Remember that, there are many users who evaluate you, just by looking at your friends. They may rate you just by checking your friends. If they see a ‘John Chow’ or ‘Problogger’, you may be someone respectful for them and if your profile shows pictures of your colleagues (it’s random, so it can be anyone), they will surely skip you. So instead of all these just highlight the pictures of some friends, whom everyone respects and make others see only them in your ‘Friends’ box, in the profile page.
