Packrati.us provides a simple service that bookmarks every single link you post in your Twitter feed. Additionally it even bookmarks links in tweets you mark as your favorite. It also uses any hashtags you include as tags for your bookmark and includes the full text of the tweet in the bookmark comments.
Packrati is a wonderful lifesaver when you are in search of that link you tweeted ages ago but cant seem to find anywhere.
Clipgrab is an program that downloads videos from popular online video sites like youtube, vimeo ect and saves the video in the format of your choice. The application is very straight forward to use and provides a good set of options that make it easy for the user to customize their download.
Clipgrab requires the user to simply type in the url of the video. This can be copied from the web browser. Once done, Clipgrab gives the details of the video including the different sizes its available for download and the different formats it can be converted to. Hit the “Grab this Clip!” option to download the video.
Clipgrab also monitors your clipboard to pick up urls when ever they are copied. Then it throws a notification asking you if you want to download the clip.
Clipgrab is available for Linux, Windows and Mac and can be downloaded from here: http://clipgrab.de/start_en.html
For ubuntu systems you can use the PPA repository to download Clipgrab:

Facebook is fast becoming one of ‘the’ places to promote your blog. Integrating your site well with facebook not only drives great traffic but also provides great exposure for your writing. People share webpages on Facebook all the time, just include the url of interest in any message and FB will insert an image from the page and a short description below the message.

On my personal blog titled “New Sense” I recently included a nice looking toolbar at the bottom. The toolbar also provides a button for recommendations via facebook. Clicking on it will show a list of pages from my blog that were shared on Facebook (Click on Recommendations at the toolbar at the bottom)

At the bottom of the page you will find a form similar to the one shown in the image below. Type in the address of your blog and voilà you should get the list of shared items from your blog.
