How to download YouTube, Google Video, Metacafe and others for free.

You probably watched several videos online and wanted to download them to your PC or laptop but just couldn't find an easy way, There are several ways to download YouTube or Metacafe videos, I'm going to go through, step-by-step, the two most easy and fast ways.

Extract the video file from your cache.

If you have watched the video previously, it may still be in your computers' cache. This means the video is stored in a folder on your computer. You can retrieve the video file from Internet explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome and many more easily with a tiny software (around 75 Kb). It is called Videocacheview. 

• Download VLC media player by clicking here: VLC Media Player, and install it.
• Download the latest version by clicking here: VideoCacheView.
• VideoCacheView doesn't need to be installed, just extract it and run it.
• Give it time so it can refresh (Takes about 2 minutes).
• Now Click on "Last Modified Date" tab so it arranges the video from oldest to newest.
• Select any video, click F9, and select VLC media player.
• If you want to save the video to a specific path, Select it and Click F7 and select the location you want to save it to.

Download Video straight from Youtube.

I recommend using www.keepvid.com Java extension. You can download any file from YouTube, Facebook, MegaVideo, Dailymotion, Flickr, Google Video, Metacafe, Vimeo, Photobucket, TED, Ning, TwitVid, eHow, Current, Clipfish.de, blip.tv, Tudou, Break.

• Copy this script: Right click here and copy shortcut. OR, if you're not using internet explorer, triple click and copy it (Ctrl + C) the following script: 

javascript:(a%20=%20(b%20=%20document).createElement('script')).src%20=%20'http://keepvid.com/js/bm.js',%20b.body.appendChild(a);void(0);

• Go to any video and paste the script you just copied to your address bar.
• Click enter. You should be redirected to a new webpage.
• Click on download High, Medium Low quality or even Mp3.
• Download VLC media player if your having trouble playing the file downloaded: VLC media player.

How to change the color scheme of any Facebook profile.

Unlike other social networks, Facebook does not have an option to change its color scheme. I consider it as a good feature that decreases page loading time immensely comparing it to MySpace or other social networks.

If you ever want to change the color of your Facebook profile, you should follow these simple steps:



How to change the color of your Facebook profile:

• You should be using Firefox as your browser. Download it from here: Mozilla Firefox.
• After you install Firefox, download this add-on: GreaseMonkey.
• Restart Firefox browser.
• Install Facebook color changer.
• Go to your Facebook profile, now click on Tools>GreaseMonkey>User script Commands> Customize Facebook colors.
• Choose the colors you like.
• Click "Set"

How to select all friends when inviting to facebook events (March 15 2011 update).

Facebook keeps on changing ways to invite friends to events. This is probably a strategy to prevent event invitation floods for users.


The script to invite all your friends is the following:


javascript:elms=document.getElementsByName("checkableitems[]");for (i=0;i<elms.length;i++){if (elms[i].type="checkbox" )elms[i].click()};

How to use the script:

- Just Triple click on this script to select it.

- Copy the scipt (Ctrl + C).

- Go to the event you wish to invite all your friends.

- Click "Select guests to invite" button.

- Now scroll down to the end of your friends list in the pop-up that appeared to load them all.

- Paste the script in the address bar (Ctrl + V).

- Click enter.

Now you should wait for the process to finish. It usually takes a couple of minutes and the browser will most probably freeze in that time, so be patient...

Ive tested the script on Google chrome and internet explorer, and invited around 1200 friends simultaneously.
