Cool little AIR application that allows you to download YouTube FLV videos by simply dragging or pasting in the video’s URL. After the video downloads the application will expand and show you a preview of the video. The file is saved to the desktop as video.flv

Follow the steps below once you get it installed:

1. Open the application. It will remain on top of all other applications.
2. Navigate to the YouTube website. Either drag a link into the input box or simply copy and paste one in. The link should look similar to http://youtube.com/watch?v=KNaJ9WS5nCc.
3. Click the download button. It will now make a request to YouTube to try and get the FLV URL.
4. If everything goes well you will see a progress bar showing the download progress.
5. After downloading is complete the file will be saved to the desktop and it will begin playing.

Google announce a new application The Google Email Uploader.

The Google Email Uploader is a open source desktop utility for Microsoft Windows. It uploads email and contacts from desktop email programs (like Microsoft Outlook® ) into your Google Apps mailbox. It preserves information such as sent dates and sender/recipient data, as well as the folder structure used by email programs.

System requirements

• Windows XP and Vista
• Outlook 2003 and greater for Outlook support.
• A Google Apps account

New google service http://code.google.com/appengine/

Google App Engine lets you run your web applications on Google’s infrastructure. App Engine applications are easy to build, easy to maintain, and easy to scale as your traffic and data storage needs grow. With App Engine, there are no servers to maintain: You just upload your application, and it’s ready to serve your users.

You can serve your app using a free domain name on the appspot.com domain, or use Google Apps to serve it from your own domain. You can share your application with the world, or limit access to members of your organization.

App Engine costs nothing to get started. Sign up for a free account, and you can develop and publish your application for the world to see, at no charge and with no obligation. A free account can use up to 500MB of persistent storage and enough CPU and bandwidth for about 5 million page views a month.

During the preview release of Google App Engine, only free accounts are available. In the near future, you will be able to purchase additional computing resources.
