2008 was a year to download and share interesting content. With the departure of OiNK more than a year ago have been supplanted with new sites, but have also appeared trackers that are focused on specific topics.

Also for some of the editors ALT1040 has been the year when we started to use other methods to get the latest episodes of our favorite TV series, new music (not available elsewhere) and specialized content.

Even as we are about to finish the year, we make a list of the best sites for downloading music, TV series, films and support the passage of campaign If you’re legal, shares .

BitTorrent

1. What.cd : We grieved the loss of OiNK , but What.cd has done an excellent job replacing it. Directory of artists involved, a huge database of music. You need invitation to enter.
2. The Pirate Bay : No directory trackers to BitTorrent be complete without The Pirate Bay.
3. Mininova : One of the essential.
4. Demonoid : One of the trackers older and therefore larger than there is in internet. He had problems a few months ago but it works well again. You need invitation to enter.
5. BitmeTV : Focus on TV series.
6. Vortex Network : Focus on Mac OS X.
7. MacNBits : I also focused on Mac OS X.

Usenet

1. Newzbin : The best search Usenet. It is so good and so effective that, apart from needing an invitation to enter, you must pay to use it.
2. Giganews : The best provider of Usenet access, retention of 240 days in binary. The advantage of using this type of service is that it works as a download directly.

Directory

1. tvRSS : Generate a RSS TV series that you can put in the software BitTorrent to your favorite software for the automatic downloads are.
2. EZTV : A group of people who catch the episodes of the TV and turned into downloadable files. Of the best ways to find out what’s new.
3. EPGuides : The best episodes of TV Guide with a link to TV.com.

If you know some better website please write comment.

Juan Luis Polo to Territory Creativo makes an interesting list of things most likely not spend during 2009. Generally I agree with every one of those points, I’d like to summarize:

1. It will be the year of mobile marketing in the
2. The blogs will not change the world this year that begins
3. The marks do not learn to listen to customers
4. Traditional media will not disappear
5. Twitter will not become a tool of payment
6. The Social Media will not be a haven for Advertisers
7. The budgets for advertising and communication will grow
8. Cheese not search the Web 2.0
9. Respect for the license Creative Commons will not be extended
10. The easy availability of money from previous years will not

The

( detailed explanation of each of these points in the original post) - good way to demystify some of the concepts, ideals and hopes unattainable. I think that if 3 or 4 steps back and look at the 10 as a whole I was absolutely clear that 2009 is the year of the uses will be extremely difficult to sell the technology being technology, users / consumers / look at the Internet as tools (work, entertainment, procrastination, whatever) and simply marks does not mean .

In the days that we make efficient use of energy is not just something to do for the environment, but also can save some if we assemble eurillos well. One use efficient that we can do is turn off your computer when you are not using. Most of us do not be embarrassed because we are turning the equipment off, but the teams we have today does not require a computer to boot over a minute.

It's normal that if you are not used to turn off the computer each time you stop using us can forget, but that comes into our lives AllOff . AllOff is a small application for Windows that we can shut down your computer automatically when you are not using.

They will have to set a few parameters, and after the indicated time of inactivity AllOff On a countdown to a minute to turn off the computer. The countdown can cancel and if we do not finally shut down the computer.

It's that simple, the application does not have anything else. Works with Windows , is in English and to be able to install it must first register on the website of its author.

When using Windows could not live without and now I'm Launchy user Mac I learned to love Quicksilver for the same reasons why he loved Launchy . Application launchers are extremely useful, and that did not know until you learn how to use one.

Well, it must think that the creators of SiteLauncher to Firefox , which have brought the spirit of the application launchers andalusia browser. Setting a series of previously favorites with a pair of keyboard shortcuts can access them quickly.

To set up shortcuts to our favorite places we simply andalusia menu SiteLauncher and the menu that we can change that are already predefined or add new ones, taking into account that we can not repeat lyrics. To access a particular favorite simply press SHIFT ALT X where X is the letter you've configured for direct access.

When you press CTRL Spacebar to access the on-screen menu with a list of shortcuts that we have set and push the letter by which each have a set of shortcuts.

The application is tested in Windows Linux and Mac , and while it is in English, nor is it a major problem for their use. Undoubtedly SiteLauncher is a great idea, very well done.

Tweet Manager is a tool for Twitter, or rather a set of them, as it offers several features such as Self user on a given keyword, auto replies, or sending mass messages to more than 1,000 users .

As regards the tracking is very useful to begin to follow who write or comment on certain issues that are of interest to you. Just enter a keyword can be Twitter who let you off the news instead of having to look for yourself.

The ability to send mass messages (up to 1,000 users at once) that offers Manager Tweet looks good and appropriate at times, but will have to see if their abuse does not end by creating too much unnecessary traffic.

You can also send tweets scheduled in time to tell it, and you can choose to work in two Twitter accounts at once. As you can see more of these tools and we have known for some time here in Visualbeta.

This is the case of Twuffer or FutureTweets (schedule tweets), transla Monitor to track tweets on a particular topic, or Matt and EasyTweets to Twitter using two accounts at once. The clear advantage of Tweet Manager on all of them is to offer all in one place, so you do not have to go running various services.

In addition, customize a number of issues, and we will be able to add pages, lists of types of tasks, data fields and other applications, but few applications are currently available.

All that remains for us to access the different pages you've created, and each one of them can continue the activities, with the possibility of leaving notes, generate different types of lists of tasks with due dates can , upload or create documents, manage the people of our work groups, and also assign values to the data fields that we have created.

Already there are social networks that allow us to classify and segment our networks of friends , such as FriendFeed or Facebook, although in the case of Twitter is not yet possible. All our contacts are equal in our lists, without distinction between them.

But if we need to classify and divide our Twitter contacts, and thus filter tweets, twiTangle will help us do so. The first thing we need is access to our data access, landing on our list of friends, or better said, we continue to users.

For each of them need to establish a valuation depending on our relationship with them, assign labels and groups. As for groups at the top will find an option that allows its management. It basically allows us to create new groups and add them to the different users of our lists. In this way, we create our timeline group, where we can filter tweets by groups of users have created.

But is not the only timeline we have, as from the home page can filter tweets for periods of time, by groups and labels.

We also have a search in which we have a number of operators to use as needed in our search.

For now offers nothing more good if, in each Tweet we will assess the options, and grouped taguear directly, but what we offer is the ability to respond to users and write our own tweets. < >
