Sort YouTube Videos By Date In Chrome


When searching on YouTube, one often faces the dilemma of being unable to find recently uploaded videos on top of the search result list. Suppose you are looking for the recent highlight of a football match, YouTube will instead show the results of matches that were held some one or two years ago. And if you are searching for a recent movie trailer, you might end up getting older videos on top of the search result (e.g. trailers of the previous part of the movie). These are just two of the countless examples. If you get frustrated by this, then Double Click YouTube Sorted By Date extension for Chrome will come useful. It sorts videos on YouTube search result page by date. Therefore, you can view the most recent videos on top of the result rather than having to sweep through old videos to find the recent one.
In the below screenshot you can see that some very old YouTube videos are being displayed on top of the YouTube search result. With the help of this extension, by double clicking on the search page, the recent videos are displayed first (as shown in the next image).

As you can see the YouTube page got sorted by the recent videos on top of the search result by double clicking on the same YouTube page.

How To Get More Useful Results From Your Google Searches


Have you been following the discussions on the interwebs lately about problems with Google’s search algorithims and spammers? The basic argument is (and has been for a while) that SEO people and content factories are creating content at such high rates these days that, for any keyword that is worth monetizing, it is nearly worthless to even bother doing a Google search because all of the top results will be overtaken with spam.
So, what happens is, say you want to do a search on something like laundry machines or whatever, to figure out what laundry machine you should buy. The contention is that entering the information into Google is worthless because here’s what you get:
But . . . if you filter these results by selecting “Discussions from the “more” sidebar, you can get better information:

The results you get this way will be culled from discussions throughout the web about the topic. And at least for the time being, this is still going to be the best way we have of performing things like product review searches, short of going from site to site to perform a search, even if one of those sites happens to be Facebook.
