YouTube to Allow Links to External Websites with Video Annotations

→Some good news here. YouTube publishers will soon be allowed to create clickable hyperlinks to their own website from within a video using annotations. Thus, if your YouTube video explains how to boil an egg, you can insert an annotation linking to your blog post where the steps are described in greater detail.Dror Shimshowitz, YouTube Head of Product for Creators, made this announcement last week while speaking at a YouTube Partner event in San Bruno.YouTube does support clickable annotations at this time but a limitation is that these links should either point to another YouTube video or a search results page on the YouTube website. With the new changes, publishers in good standing will be able to drive traffic to their own website from YouTube videos.Dror didn't exactly specify the time frame when this feature will go live but, hopefully, the wait shouldn't be long as another feature discussed at the same event – Invideo Programming – is already live on YouTube.Here's the full recording of Dror's talk:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V1Hdu5NVTcIAlso see: Best Chrome Extensions for YouTube This story, YouTube to Allow Links to External Websites with Video Annotations, was originally published at Digital Inspiration on 15/10/2012 under YouTube, Internet.

Every week, LinkedIn sends an email notification with a list of people who have recently viewed my profile on the LinkedIn website. The list includes only 5 profiles but if I were a premium member of LinkedIn, they will happily offer me the complete list of people who've viewed my profile the previous week. →This feature has been part of LinkedIn for a long time but the way they have been pushing it now makes me a little uncomfortable. If I am searching for a person on Google and land up on a LinkedIn profile, I would really not like LinkedIn to send him or her an email with the details of my visit.Fortunately, LinkedIn does provide a simple option to help you completely disable the "Who Viewed the Profile" feature from your account.Who viewed my profile on LinkedInYou can either click here and choose the "anonymous" option or sign-in from the Linked homepage, choose Settings and then choose "Select what others see when you've viewed their profile."Once you have disabled the feature, LinkedIn will neither share your visits with other users nor will you get to know about other LinkedIn users who have recently viewed your profile.Related: Update your LinkedIn Profile Secretly This story, View LinkedIn Profiles Anonymously, was originally published at Digital Inspiration on 15/10/2012 under Linkedin, Privacy, Internet.

Send Self-Destructing Messages with Google Docs
http://www.labnol.org/internet/send-self-destructing-messages/26125/
Oct 15th 2012, 12:52
Would you like to send a confidential note to a friend that self-destructs after it has been read so that no one else (including your friend) can ever see that secret note again? Maybe it has a password that shouldn't be stored anywhere. Or you are worried that the private note can get leaked online. →There are web apps – like Burn Note and Privnote - that offer an easy solution. They essentially create a temporary web page that auto-expires after it has been viewed once. Dashlane is another app also lets you send encrypted notes from the desktop and the recipient gets 30 minutes of reading time after which the note will vanish forever.Alternatively, you can even use Google Docs to send secret, self-destructing messages to anyone in few easy steps. Here's a quick video demo:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o5jX58eEicYSelf-Destructing Messages in Google DocsIt takes a minute to convert a Google Docs sheet into a self-destructing one.Click here to make a copy of the Google sheet in your own account. Once the sheet is auto-cleared, type your secret message anywhere inside the sheet and hit the Share button to send it to a friend. Make sure the permission is set to "Can Edit" in the sharing window.Your friend opens the sheet, reads the message and after 10 seconds, the entire sheet on his screen will clear itself. If you wish to send another self-destructing message, create a copy of the original sheet and repeat the steps.How does it work?The trick is simple. We have an onOpen trigger attached to the Google sheet that becomes active as soon as the sheet is opened. This trigger waits for 10 seconds (Utilities.sleep) and then runs the clear() command to empty all the cells of the sheet.Here's the Google Apps Script code that actually makes your "secret message" vanish.
function onOpen() {
var time = 10; // Wait Time (in seconds)
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
ss.toast("This message will disappear after " + time + " seconds");
Utilities.sleep(time*1000);
ss.toast("We are now sending this private note to the shredder");
ss.getActiveSheet()
.getRange(1, 1, ss.getLastRow(), ss.getLastColumn()).clear();
}
