Chill – Create & Share Collections of Cool Videos

Chill.com – Facebook may be the master when it comes to sharing photos with your friends; but when it comes to video there’s still something missing: the ability to create a nice big collection of all your videos, and also collections of cool videos you’ve found on any particular subject across the internet, and show them off in one place. And luckily enough for us avid consumers of online video, Chill’s creators have addressed this gap.

You sign up with your Facebook account, follow a few suggested users based on your interests, plus any of your Facebook friends already ‘chilling’. And then you can view cool videos either from a stream of all these users put together, or by clicking on any user’s individual feed. The feeds are great looking, and really do come out like a lovingly created scrapbook of shareable videos. This idea really works best when it comes to creating a ‘collection’ of videos on any particular subject, like this (albeit slightly Apple-geeky) collection of Steve Jobs videos I decided to follow and share for example. And there’s also a bookmarklet that allows you to post videos you find around the net that you like onto your Chill board (and Facebook and/or Twitter if you want!) for you and your friends to view and share on.

A great concept that’s developing a growing following, click here to watch some cool videos on Chill.

Nerve Dating - a new, social network-style approach to online dating

Nerve Dating – The Facebook of Online Dating?

Nerve Dating – Do you use online dating? Come on now, don’t be shy! Did you know 1 in 8 couples who got married last year in the US met online? It’s getting more and more socially acceptable to use the internet to find flings, dates, love and marriage. But many e-dating sites are still inaccessible and, in all honesty, a little bit embarassing! Nerve Dating has taken note of this to create more of a social network feel around the e-dating meet market. To borrow directly from the words of its creators: “Think fewer awkward “About Me” essays, and more conversations about what you did last night and what you thought of latest buzzed about restuarants.”

I really like this idea, being a proponent of online dating myself. It makes it much easier to fill out a profile, because you’re answering one-liner questions on your opinions and habits that pop up in very user-friendly places on the webpage. They’re actually quite fun to answer, and this feed of answers on your profile in turn gives a potential date an easy way of starting conversation with you. The usual suspects of online dating remain – your profile picture and stats for example – but again these are very easy to complete. All in all, if you do date online, this is a new, different approach worth your attention. It’s for anyone to use, whether you’re interested in men, women or both, and it’s free to fill out a profile. You only have to pay the $20 monthly fee to get the absolute most out of the site.

So click here (or on my tongue-in-cheek effort at a profile below!) and see if you can find a date in your area.
