Yeah I agree, MacTV is not perfect, also not very elegant but it gets the job done. I think the ultimate app for downloading YouTube, and videos from other similar video services is Web 2 Delight. http://www.globaldelight.com/web2delight/w2d_overview.html

@Ben: I just found MacTubes myself and am giving it a go, although I watch most of my YouTube through Boxee these days. MacTubes doesn't fit quite as nicely on this list, but from playing with it for some time I can see it's a much better app than TubeTV (despite a few bugs). Thanks for the comment and the link. (Also, I grabbed the RSS feed for your blog. Cheers.)

Am checking out TubeTV now, there’s a similar app call MacTubes http://brpg.hp.infoseek.co.jp/mactubes/index_en.html

Thanks for the list!

Hi artifact.

I’ve never really gotten into Skitch, although it’s been recommended to me more than once. Evernote also looks amazing, but the trouble with the program (I think I heard this on the Mac Roundtable podcast) is that all content you put into Evernote is formatted in their own proprietary format, the practical implication of which is that it’s difficult to get it off again. And if Evernote one day disappears, so does your data. (Please correct me if I’m wrong about the formatting issue.)

I admit that LittleSnapper is a bit expensive for a screenshot management app, but it really does look great. I haven’t myself shelled out the cash for it yet, but I am considering it.

No need to apologize for the comment. I thought it was quite useful. And thanks for the kind words about the blog.

Hi, this is artifact from Twitter.

Thanks for the post. Songbird and Fluid are new to me, and seem worthy of giving a try.

LittleSnapper also looks great, but have you tried Skitch and Evernote? They, in a combo, can do similar jobs as LittleSnapper does, and they both are freeware.

Nice blog, I am following
