Leave a comment
For organizing bookmarks and web material, bookmarks are the right thing, and it’s only too bad that there isn’t something similar in Mac for your files. While files are theoretically organized into folders, there is often the problem of distinguishing identical files that are, in fact, different versions. It isn’t just the file names that make it hard to find them again; often you forget what a file is called, or don’t have the time to add it to the right folder. Favorites is a Mac app worth $4.99 in the Mac App Store that lets you rate files by their importance. It acts as an organizer for these rated files, and lets you create folders for the type of files you need to mark. Files can be filtered by their rating or searched for. The app also lets you quickly preview a file, or open it. Read More

Your friends can then rate your images and help you in sorting them out according to their ratings, its like those Hot or Not games you'd often play with your friends. The application allows you to share individual images, whole folders or set custom filters according to the Total number of votes, Likr Score or Personal rating. Once an album has been viewed, rated, liked and disliked by your friends, you can choose to either move low rated images to recycle bin or move best rated images to a new folder.

YouTube Ratings Preview Shows ‘Like Bar’ On Video Thumbnails [Chrome]

Have you ever clicked a video thinking it was interesting because of the thumbnail preview and it turned out to be either boring or useless or both? Just as you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover, you shouldn’t judge a video by its thumbnail and it is precisely why YouTube has a like bar. The like bar serves to tell users if a video is good or bad but the problem is you don’t see the like bar until you click on the video. Search results only show you the number of views for a video and you probably think, so many views can’t be wrong. YouTube Ratings Preview is a Chrome extension that lets you see the like bar on the thumbnail of a video in both search results and suggested videos, so you know if a video is worth watching or not.
