Youtube on Roku… Finally!
Youtube on the Roku
The Roku Digital Video Player is a great little set-top box that brings tons of online video content (including Revision3, TWiT.tv, Netflix, and Amazon). You may have seen my post back in November which outlined a way to use the new Mediafly channel to play Youtube videos. Hours after my post went up the work-around was displayed somewhere along the supply chain and I was without further recourse to pull Youtube clips onto my TV without the aid of a laptop.
Thankfully I did what I normally do, waited for a solution to come by. Hobbiest Roku Channel Developer TheNowhereMan has developed a private channel that allows you to access Youtube videos straight from your Roku. It’s as simple as linking your box to the Roku.com website and entering a Private Channel code. He has full instructions and the code at his site. as well as instructions on adding his other awesome channels like Pod TV and Woot!.
By the way, you can always find experimental channels to put on your Roku over at the Roku Forums.

New App for Android and Facebook Lets Users Exchange Secrets
trade secrets
Many applications on the web and mobile platforms ask for personal information, but how many give you something in return?
Meeks Mixed Media has announced a fun new app for Android phones and Facebook users that allows users to trade their secrets anonymously and get other user’s secrets in return.
Accessing Your Collection on Android
Users simply enter a secret in one of fourteen different categories and select how many people they want to share their secret with. After submission, that same number of secrets is added into the users collection for them to browse whenever they like. Once a secret has been shared the requested amount of times it is sealed off, and only those who have already received it can access it.
trade secrets on Facebook
User-submitted secrets are never linked to their user account, and the database is randomized several times per day to ensure complete anonymity.
trade secrets is available as a free application on Facebook and for only $0.99 on the Android Market.
Facebook App: http://apps.facebook.com/trade-secrets/
$0.99 Android App with the ability to get up to 15 secrets at a time: http://apps.doubletwist.com/trade-secrets/-7938986245535818284
