Viddix is a service that lets you upload your videos and then create cuepoints out of Web content that appear beside your original video. These cuepoints can be text, images, links, polls, RSS Feeds, or HTML. This can be useful for a number of reasons: You’ve created a video and want to add photos representing the topic you’re addressing, you want to get feedback about your video (this is where the polls would come in), or you may want to upload your travel video and embed maps alongside it to show where you’ve been. Your original video is completely uninterrupted so you can really add any sort of content without worrying about disturbing anything.

Viddix is in Beta and could use a help section as well as better navigation throughout the site. It’s extremely easy to add content to your videos but it’s not quite as easy to find your way from point A to point B. I’d still recommend fiddling around with it though because once you get past the initial navigation problem, it’s a fun way to change up your videos. Here’s my screencast tour of Viddix:

I think it would be safe to say that I have a wee case of Mac envy.  Now don’t get me wrong, I do love my brand-spanking-new Dell laptop but whenever I look at a friends Mac I just think “ooh…precious”.  One feature I’m especially mesmerized by is the pretty dock where all of the desktop icons sit.  So, this morning I decided to go on a hunt for a similar dock for Windows and about 2 minutes into my Google search I came across RocketDock.  RocketDock gives you quick access to all of your icons and definitely resembles the Mac dock (although the icons do not).  It also allows you to store minimized browser windows on the dock for easy access and if you use Vista you get real-time window previews.  The look and feel is totally customizable and you can auto-hide it any time you like.  Here’s my screencast tour of RocketDock:
