Ashampoo Clipfinder Finds Videos, and Lots of Them!
by Lee Mathews Sep 24th 2008 at 6:00PM
Clipfinder searches YouTube, iFilm, DailyMotion, Blip.tv, Yahoo Video, MySpace, MetaCafe, and several others and displays thumbnails. Right-click to bookmark it in you Ashampoo's My Videos folder or download the FLV. Ashampoo will automatically file it under Downloads on the My Videos tab.
Each site can be searched individually, or you can search them all via the portal search at the top of the interface. Rolling up a particular site will hide its results, but be aware that it'll also keep Ashampoo from searching it from the portal search.
The program's settings screen contains a number of options, including an alternate black theme. The most useful: shutting off Ashampoo's "service channels," which was my first step after completing the install.
Mouse over a thumbnail and wait, and Clipfinder will play the clip - double-clicking opens full-size clips in a player window. Clicking the right arrow icon will expand all the clips found for a particular site.
The program installs in a "demo mode," but it's free to register. Proceed with caution, as Ashampoo will probably add the email address you provide to a "service letter" mailing list. I'd recommend using a disposable account like Bugmenot to be on the safe side. Once you've confirmed the activation email, look for the "freebie rgistration keys" to find your code.
Clipfinder is a fast, convenient way to search for videos without visiting multiple sites. If you're all about efficiency, check it out!

In Graveyard Shift, you take aim at zombies and other creepy-crawlies, blasting them into splatters of cartoony green guts. It's a casual first-person shooter, and it's very easy to get the hang of - use the mouse to aim, click to fire. Graveyard Shift has at least 15 levels, and it might even have some secret stages I haven't unlocked yet.
They key to getting good at Graveyard Shift is learning to use ...
