YouTube - The Complete Profile


One of the companies that would easily classify as a poster-startup for Web 2.0 is YouTube. Since its launch in February 2005, it’s managed to attract crowds, cross milestones, create fads, top lists, and even get a mention at this year’s Emmys! Founded by three early PayPal employees, YouTube is a free service that lets users upload, share, and view video clips. It’s been the center of a lot of discussion lately, so I thought it would be interesting to profile YouTube from top-to-bottom and discover the ideas behind its history, business, features, culture, sections, and phenomenon.

What is The Levelator?


It's software that runs on Windows or OS X (universal binary) that adjusts the audio levels within your podcast or other audio file for variations from one speaker to the next, for example. It's not a compressor, normalizer or limiter although it contains all three. It's much more than those tools, and it's much simpler to use. The UI is dirt-simple: Drag-and-drop any WAV or AIFF file onto The Leveler's application window, and a few moments later you'll find a new version which just sounds better.
