Edit your movies directly on Youtube!

Youtube.com is now offering Adobe’s web based video editing tool, Premiere Express. The brand new beta version of the service was named Youtube Remixer.

The users (you and me) can upload movies, pictures and music and mix everything together. There’s also a nice selection of transitions, frames, speech balloons, titles and a whole lot more available.

If you’ve ever uploaded from your cell phone, wished for an easy way to add titles and transitions, or just wanted to remix your own videos, Remixer is a great place to play. It lets you assemble your new video in an easy drag-and-drop timeline, and then publish it right back to YouTube. Your original videos will stay exactly the same.

When Mark Zuckerberg showed up in Palo Alto three years ago, he had no car, no house, and no job. Today, he’s at the helm of a smokin’-hot social-networking site, Facebook, and turning down billion-dollar offers. Can this kid be for real?

I’m just lucky to be alive.” Mark Zuckerberg, the 22-year-old founder and CEO of social-networking site Facebook, is talking about the time he came face-to-face with the barrel of a gun. It was the spring of 2005, and he was driving from Palo Alto to Berkeley.

Who’s Mark Zuckerberg, and why is he interesting? Well if you’re into Facebook then you should probably catch up on the story about and behind the founder and CEO mentioned above. Fastcompany.com has written an interesting story/bio about Mark, which sheds some lights on one of the brilliant young guys making the Internet a more interesting and challenging place to visit.

The Top Ten Design Mistakes

Summary:
Blogs are often too internally focused and ignore key usability issues, making it hard for new readers to understand the site and trust the author.

To reach new readers and respect your existing readers’ time constraints, test your weblog (blog) against the following usability problems.

I suppose a lot of you saw that the magic numbers for decrypting/decoding HD-DVD’s on Linux got dug to the front page of Digg.com yesterday. Later the same day the link/post got removed (on demand from MPAA I believe). This of course triggered a storm of mirror’s from thousands of digger’s, and as far as I can tell the code is still on the front page.

Not only did Digg suffer from the massive numbers of visitors (actually the site went down for the first time) but they somewhat violated their own mission statement;

Digg is all about user powered content. Everything is submitted and voted on by the Digg community. Share, discover, bookmark, and promote stuff that’s important to you!

By deleting links/posts they’re censoring user powered content that they (or some powerful organization) don’t see fit, which in my opinion makes Digg a less desirable site to visit. The removed information is still available all over the Internet and I don’t think Google has removed any of their links yet…

Update: Digg listened to their community and made a very promising turn today. Read all about it in their blog.
