I was doodlebugging around and made a YouTube-based Google query builder. It slices a topical query five different ways and builds a list of keywords for each set of results. (Unique ones are a different color and marked with a star.) Click on the keywords to add them to your Google query, the results of […]
Browse 660 US TV Stations by State/Metro Area and View Recent Content

Goofing Around With YouTube’s API (and Throwing In a Little AI)
I discovered the YouTube API this week and I’ve been using it to take out all my frustrations at YouTube’s terrible search offerings.
