Free Web Application for Merging Online Videos

DragOnTape is a service that will let you take as many videos, posted online, as you want and have them remixed into a single clip that can run as long as you want. Obviously, this is something that musicians and music lover are going to maximize more than anybody else. Musicians will be able to take different videos of them performing at the same venue that have been shot by friends and posted individually on YouTube and then come up with a clip depicting the show in its entirety. I guess, even if you are not a musician, you can find a use for this free new Web 2 application.

A simple search, drag, and drop will get you started, or you can copy and paste links to your favorite YouTube videos in Dragontape's search bar. Drag and drop your video choices into the time line, arrange them in the order you like, and begin watching instantly. You can save up to three hours of continuous play per "tape" and share links to your Dragontape playlist. The tapes you create are accessed through a single URL, so you can easily share with friends or embed them in a webpage. The source clips remain in their original locations, DragOnTape simply remembers where to find them.

DragOnTape is currently in beta and requires Flash for video playback. The company says IE and HTML5 support is in the works, and they're also working on support for Vimeo, Dailymotion, Metacafe, and other sites.

Panoramio – Google’s Community of Geolocated Photos

There are tons online web sites where you can store your images. It is hard to make something different to attract customers in fierce competition. Panoramio was able to get out of crowd and earn respect and solid reputation in the online community. Mere fact, that the company has been acquired by Google in 2007, proves value of its services and intellectual property.

Panoramio allows you to allocate photos on the map exactly over the place they were taken. So, every photo is linked with the particular place both physically and in your memory. You can store up to 2 Gb, approximately 2000 photos with 4 Mega Pixels camera, and your photos are stored at your personal area in their original size and quality.

The opportunity to link photos with particular place is particularly handy for tourists, backpackers, and travelers, where location makes a lot of sense in understanding of the photo content.

Note that Panoramio is absolutely not the same as Google Earth, even the sites are sharing some mutual technologies. So, uploading photos onto Panoramio does not automatically mean they will appear on Google Earth, and it will not happen instantly. Basically, photos get updated and nominated by the Panoramio Team as "Popular" and can be seen in the Popular Tab of the Panoramio World Map. These photos are then forwarded to Google Earth who then make their own selections.

When you have logged into the Panoramio site, and can see your photos, Blue Compasses next to the photos indicates that they have been approved for Google Earth and may get included in the next batch upload to Google Earth which usually happens on a monthly basis.
