The Perfect Video Blogging Camera for Mom

While it doesn't take rocketscience to transfer video from the camcorder and upload it to YouTube, a new video blogging camcorder called "Flip Video" makes the whole workflow much simpler for the not so tech-savvy crowd.

Capture the video with your Flip Video camcorder, plug-in the device to your computer (PC or Mac) via the USB port and it'll upload your video directly to YouTube.

Other than sharing video on the web, carry your Flip Video camera to the nearest photo lab and they'll burn a DVD of you precious moments. The vidcasting camcorder retails at $119.99 for the 30-minute model and $149.99 for the 60-minute model.

Advanced users can also edit video clips, add custom music or extract still photos from video. The camera can also connect to your large TV screen with the included cable. The video quality may not be the best for TV viewing but decent enough for the 320x240 Youtube screen.

The reason is simple - while you can easily import your Outlook address book and GMail contacts into Facebook, the reverse path is closed.

PhishTank Detects Phishing Websites by Digg Style Voting

OpenDNS, a free service that helps anyone surf the Internet faster with a simple DNS tweak , will announce PhishTank today. PhishTank is a free public database of phishing URLs where anyone can submit their phishes via email or through the website. The submissions are verified by the other community members who then vote for the suspected site. This is such a neat idea as sites can be categorized just based on user feedback without even having to manually verify each and every submission. PhishTank employs the "feedback loop" mechanism where users will be kept updated with the status' of the phish they submit either via email alerts or a personal RSS feed . Naturally, once the PhishTank databases grows, other sites can harness the data using open APIs which will remain free. OpenDNS would also use this data to improve their existing phishing detection algorithms which are already very impressive and efficient. PhishTank | PhishTank Blog [Thanks Allison] Related: Google
