To save time, a short disclaimer. None of the following Free Tips, Tools and Resources are April Fool’s jokes. They’re just what we do every day here – telling you about people and companies who are Moving the Free Line.

YouTube has recently dropped a new tool into user’s laps called YouTube Insight, which allows you to see who viewed their videos and when and what links they followed to find the video in the first place. So far the response to the new tool has been underwhelming. The actual results are really just too broad for most users to find useful, and even though the geographic information is interesting, it doesn’t shed much light on how a video becomes popular or why. But the idea is pretty cool and the current iteration is a good start.

Next, both CBS and Hulu are trying the waters with Hi-Def streaming, offering on demand free videos of television shows in high quality. So far, both offer good quality definition at a very fast speed, even though very few shows are available just yet. CBS’s offering is in beta and requires a special plug in for your web browser. You can get the link to the specifics in this Techcrunch article.

And a new video streaming site called Omnisio gives you the ability to take clips of your favorite videos and then easily stitch and edit them together online to create fun mashups to share with their friends. The interface is pretty simple, and even though this will never replace a high-profile, high-cost video editor like Adobe Premier, it will allow any non-tech user mix and match their favorite clips into funny and interesting ways. Look for more of this online editing functionality as we go along.

If you like to listen to streaming music online and have always wanted the ability to add these songs into your own playlist on your computer or iPod, look no further than the free music player Songbird. They just released a new stable download that allows you to browse a music collection on music blogs or streaming radio stations and then save them to your playlist, download them to your hard drive, or buy them from an online store.

And today’s Moving the Free Line Award goes to South Park creators, Matt Stone and Trey Parker. They decided to start offering every episode of their show online — for free. They said, and I quote, “We got really sick of having to download our own show illegally all the time. So we gave ourselves a legal alternative.” Hey guys, that makes three of us – so thanks for Moving the Free Line!

Paramount and FanRocket are combining forces to create VooZoo, a web application that lets you grab movie clips and send them to your friends on Facebook. These will be short clips, usually lasting from several seconds to a full minute, And below each clip a small button appears that allows the viewer to purchase a DVD of the movie.

The star of last year’s South by Southwest Conference on technology was Twitter, the microblogging service. This year, a website called Sched.org stole the show. It’s a calendaring application and it showed its real power by creating a schedule for the conference for attendees to synch up and use. Let’s hope other conferences get the idea and create similar calendars — it makes the experience of going to conferences — and figuring out where to be and when — a lot easier — especially the after parties

MyVox is about to make a big splash when it opens its phone-to-web API to the public this week. This system lets you create a voice message using your cellphone, and then put it on Google Maps, Facebook or any web page you wish. It’s free to use — the only cost of the service is listening to a small advertisement while you’re on hold.

Six Apart and Wordpress are at it again — feuding across blogs and twitter, trying to get users to switch from one platform to another. What started it this time? Looks like the creator of Six Apart casually remarked in a blog that maybe users should try switching to his platform rather than upgrading to the new version Wordpress. This sparked angry remarks from both camps. Man, people sure take their blogging platform allegiances seriously.

And today is the day that Hulu, the video web site founded by Fox and NBC Universal, finally goes live. That’s right — no more private beta. And the news gets even better — not only can you watch your favorite NBC and Fox shows for free, anytime, but they have added support from Warner Brothers, Lionsgate, the NBA, NHL and twenty other content providers.

最近Paramount 和 FanRocket联合组建了VooZoo, 它是一个让你可以与朋友们在facebook上分享电影片段的程序。 这些片段通常很短，差不多从几秒到1分钟，而且用户可以通过点击每一个片段的下面的按钮去购买该影片的DVD。

在去年的西南技术大会上Twitter这个微博客服务商的表现最为抢眼。而今年，一个叫做Sched.org的网站成为了新的亮点。这个日程表程序通过在大会期间为会员们提供日程表的同步服务展现了自己的光芒。我们希望其他会议也采取相同的办法，它确实使我们方便的了解何时何地去参与会议变得容易许多，特别是会后的party

MyVox在本周对外发布电话到网页API之后一定会引起很大的反响。人们可以通过这项服务，用电话生成一则语音留言，然后把它放在Google Maps，Facebook或任何你喜欢的网页上。你可以免费使用，唯一的花销是你在使用的时候需要听一则小广告。

Six Apart跟Wordpress之间又生是非，为博客跟twitter争论不休，都劝说另一方的用户转到自己这边来。这回怎么引起的？看起来是Six Apart的创立人在自己的博客里说也许用户们可以试试他的平台而不是升级新版本的Wordpress。这个导火线马上引起双方不满。我说，人们当然会为自己喜欢的平台说好话。

期待已久的视频网站Hulu，今天在Fox跟NBC环球的共同努力下，终于上线了。没错，不再是内部测试。还有更好的消息，你不仅可以观看你最喜欢的NBC和Fox的节目，免费的，你现在还可以观看华纳兄弟，狮子门，还有NBA，NHL等提供的节目。是不是觉得不错？

The video streaming website Hulu, a joint project created by Fox and NBC, plans to lift its veil of secrecy this month and let the world see the future of television, online. The videos will be television shows aired previously, supported completely by ads. A sneak preview last October left a big impression on users, wowing even the most skeptical pundits.

Well it looks like Yahoo isn’t the only website that Microsoft wants to buy. Apparently, both Microsoft and Google are making bids for the user generated news site, Digg.com. The founder of Digg says these claims are not true, but Michael Arrington of TechCrunch says his inside source still stands behind his earlier statement.

Thunderbird, a free email client, is getting its third release next month. This email application will get a major overhaul, including the addition of calendar support, instant messaging, and better searching.

看起来微软并不是只对雅虎的收购感兴趣。显然的，微软跟Google正在争夺那个由用户产生新闻的网站，Digg.com。Digg的创立者否认了这一传言，但TechCrunch的Michael Arrington说来自内部的消息仍然能够证实他的说法。
