YouTube is a website that allows users to easily post their videos for others to see. Since YouTube videos are viewed all over the world via computer and mobile device, it is easy to share videos with people and often videos “go viral”, or – in other words – people refer their friends to them and they end up being viewed by millions of people. Viewing videos on YouTube is fairly simple and uploading your own videos isn’t that much more complicated. You can learn to use the YouTube website effectively with just a little bit of practice.

Viewing videos is as easy as going to the YouTube website and typing in a search term. Videos are sorted based upon the title and the descriptive keywords, or tags, that the uploaded included with them. You have the option of watching them at different resolutions, and the resolution that you choose determines how quickly the video loads for you. Videos are also easily embedded on other websites, so you will often find them in places other than the YouTube website, and are also indexed in video directories like Google Video.

You have several options if you create an account with YouTube. First, you can save videos as favorites, like bookmarking websites that you want to come back to. You can also create playlists of videos, if you find several that you would like to watch without having to start each one individually. Also, YouTube included related videos, or the next video in a series of them on the sidebar, and on the screen when the video you are currently viewing has ended. Also, users can comment on the video they are watching as long as they have a YouTube account.

You can also upload your own videos if you like. Video bloggers post on YouTube and often gain followers that regularly watch videos, and school plays, musical and concerts is also a common sight. Videos of aspiring musicians, either performing their own songs, or covering another artist are some of the most prevalent YouTube videos out there. Uploading a video is fairly simple, if you have the file on your computer’s hard drive already, and YouTube supports a wide variety of formats, and recently has allowed HD videos as well.

The interface is simple. You just click on the upload button and select your video. It can be HD if you want, and up to two gigabytes in size. However, the maximum length that YouTube allows is fifteen minutes with few exceptions.

YouTube also allows you to record a video directly from your webcam if you want, and don’t need to do any editing to it, and you can easily share your video via your social media accounts like Facebook, Twitter, Orkut and MySpace. YouTube is an international phenomenon that is now a part of popular culture all over the planet.

Using the Facebook login screen is fairly simple once you get the hang of it, and after a few practice tries, you’ll be able to use Facebook and other social media websites as easily as if you had been doing it for years.

The first thing that you’ll have to do in order to log in to your Facebook account is to create one. If you don’t have a Facebook account yet, then it is easy to get one, simply by going to the Facebook homepage at www.facebook.com and typing in the name you want to use and the other required information like your email, password, gender and birthdate. Alternatively, you can choose to create a page for an organization, band or celebrity fan page at the link below the sign up button.

In the process of signing up, you will encounter a capcha, which requires that you type in a series of letter and numbers to prove you are not a computer making an automated request.

Then, you will be directed to a page that will inform you to check your email and confirm your mailbox before you can continue. Often, people encounter problems with the Facebook algorithm not recognizing the email address that they have entered.

For instance email addresses at domains with dashes in them may not be allowed, and email addresses at your own website are sometimes filtered out. In this case, if you have entered your email correctly and Facebook is refusing to accept it, you might consider creating an email account at Gmail, Yahoo or Hotmail to use in creating your Facebook page.

If you forget the email that you used to sign up for Facebook it is quite easy to retrieve it with several options. If you keep trying to log in and cannot simply click the link at the bottom of the login screen that says ‘Forget Your Password’.

You will be taken to a screen that will allow you to search by your email address, or phone number if you entered one, as well as by your Facebook username which is usually http://facebook.com/ followed by your first and last name separated by a dash. However, this may not be the case if yours is a common name that is used by a lot of people.

If you don’t know your Facebook user name or your email then you can search by entering your first and last name, and the first and last name of one of your friends. This will take you to a page where you’ll be asked if you want to reset your password, and will show you a very small portion of your email addresses listed on your account.

Hotmail is a service that is provided by Microsoft that allows you to have an email account based upon the web, with an address like you_name@hotmail.com, or one of the other addresses they provide. You will be able to receive messages and email at this address, by accessing it via the Hotmail website, as well as sending emails to others, and you’ll be able to attach pictures or files. Having an email account is vital in today’s world, and Hotmail is one of the best services out there to use, plus, as a bonus, it is totally free of charge and has an easy and intuitive interface.

The first thing to do if you want to set up a Hotmail account is to go to the Hotmail website. The first thing that you’ll notice is that when you type in the address of the Hotmail site, which is www.hotmail.com, you’ll be redirected to http://login.live.com instead.

This is because Microsoft now calls their email and messenger services Windows Live. However, it is still the same basic service as Hotmail was previously. The next thing that you’ll want to do is click on the sign up button right after the phrase “Don’t have a Hotmail account?”

Next, fill out the required information.

You can choose to have your email address end in live.com or hotmail.com depending upon your personal preference, and you can choose a username to go before that. Before you finish filling out your information you can determine if the name is available by pressing the ‘check availability’ button. If not, you’ll have to choose another user name. Fill in the information and press Accept to sign up for your Hotmail account. You’ll have to fill out your name, date of birth and fill in the word verification to prove you are a human being and not a computer program.

Next, in order to use your Hotmail account to receive messages, you’ll have to give out your email to people that you want to receive mail from.

Your email address will be the username you chose @ either hotmail or live.com. So, for instance, if your username is johnsmith, then your email address would be johnsmith@hotmail.com or johnsmith@live.com, depending upon which you chose when you signed up. Receiving your email is as easy as logging into your account at the live.com website and clicking on ‘inbox’ to view your mail.

To send mail, it is very simple. Click on the ‘New’ button on the top left hand corner to the right of the sidebar. Then enter the email address you are sending to in the TO field.

Then enter the subject and write your email in the larger box. Finally, attach pictures or any other files that you want to attach to your email and use the ‘Send’ link at the top right where the ‘New’ link was previously. You should then see a confirmation screen that your email was sent.
