few usefull services, thanks to KillerStartup.com

Downloading online (Flash) video as off-line video

Vixy.net - Download Online Videos Free

The service of Vixy.net is free although they do request that users make donations through PayPal to keep the site running and to pay for costs occured by keeping the site up and free. This site basically operates in the same fashion that the others of its kind do, however on the site it states that because of the compressed domain transcoder technology it uses there is less lost in the download of the video than if you were to use other sites utilizing different technology. The site can transform the videos into five different formats depending on what computer the user is on and what they want to download the video for, you can download to AVI, MOV, mp4, mp3 and 3GP.

Stickis.com - Leave Notes On Webpages

If you got excited eons ago when the old Macs came out with the "Stickies" feature and promptly peppered your screen with little reminders, you might have a similar reaction to the new webpage-based note system, stickis. Basically, stickis is an amped-up version of "Stickies" which allows you to write and view notes which can be posted on any page on the internet. These powerful notes can hold literally any type of web content (text, images, video, etc) and can be made public or private. Public notes are only visible on the stickis website and the site the note links to, whereas private ones are only visible to you and the friends you allow to view them. You can build a network of friends by inviting the ones you already have via email, or by making a new connection through the stickis site (just add the person to your network). Site registration and the toolbar download are free (make sure to install the toolbar or you won't be able to enjoy all the site's features).

TinyURL.com 

Are you sick of posting URLs in emails only to have it break when sent causing the recipient to have to cut and paste it back together? Then you've come to the right place. By entering in a URL in the text field below, we will create a tiny URL that will not break in email postings and never expires.
