Although this is not generally a topic we blog about, I recently came across two websites that most people would find to be very useful:

• mediaconverter.org: A great site, which enables you to download any video from the Web in pretty much any format. There have been many instances that I wanted to download a video from YouTube, but was unable to do so. This site not only allows you to do that, but it also enables you to choose your desired format. It also offers 2GB of online storage, if you want to store a video or audio of yours. A pretty cool site that I am sure I will use often in the future.

• resizenow.co.cc: A very useful Israeli site that enables you to resize any picture online, then download it to your hard drive. Pretty simple concept. There have been so many times that I got an email with picture attachments that were so huge, they were extremely difficult to view. On all those occasions, I thought to myself, why couldn’t the sender just resize the picture first? The answer is that most people do not know how to use applications to edit their photos. This site makes that task completely idiot proof. Also a great site I will definitely use in the future.

Just thought I would share these sites, hope you enjoy them!
