Kick back this week with a special episode of ChannelFlip Web. We've dug through the archives to find all kinds of outtakes and stuff that is downright embarrassing.
ChannelFlip Web hits a milestone today - its 100th episode! Today, the guys check out Bandcamp.com. This site is supposed to let any musician put together a great website for himself or his band.
How easy is it to use? Find out in this episode of ChannelFlip Web!
Also, check out our Bandcamp page.
Talking to your friends is totally overrated. It's time to talk to strangers. Maybe you're afraid that a stranger may kidnap you or your pet giraffe, but you can talk to strangers online using Omegle.com.
Is talking to random strangers on a web site useful at all? ChannelFlip Web investigates.
Your life just got easier. Lifehacker.com has all kinds of tips and tricks to help you come up with great ways to avoid problems in your online and offline life.
Trying to keep your life in order? Check out RememberTheMilk.com. This site claims to be the best way to manage your tasks. The ChannelFlip Web guys checked out the site to see if it is what they claim it is.
It's time for the first ever ChannelFlip Web Awards! Find out the best social networking site, the best music site, the sites we used the most (and the least) and lots more in this super-sized episode! We'll see you next year!
The guys pick a site found off of Wil Harris' Tweets. Wil had high praise for this particular site. The masters of the Internet, ChannelFlip Web, checked it out to find out if the site was amazing or not.
Life got you down? Well, FMyLife.com lets you share your pain with the masses. When you're feeling like you're going to snap and don't want to risk saying something stupid on your Facebook or Twitter page, definitely check out this site.
With hundreds of ways of communicating, maybe the old systems are antiquated. Google has come up with a new way of communicating with Google Wave. Does anyone really understand it? The ChannelFlip Web guys try to get a handle on Google's latest project.
Got photos that are less than perfect? No need to shell out money for photo editing software. Check out Photoshop.com from the makers of the super-expensive Photoshop. Oh, and it's free.
Social networking has gotten so big you can't find anyone with the same interest. Why not create your own social network? We know what you're thinking - "That's impossible, I'm not Mark Zucker-something!"
Don't worry, Ning.com can make a social networking site for you.
How do you find out if movies are good or bad? Why not find out what the entire Internet thinks? ChannelFlip Web checks out RottenTomatoes.com to see what they know about rating movies.
Writing down your thoughts is so antiquated. How about recording your thoughts with 12seconds.tv? This site lets you create quick 12 second videos right from your web browser.
Is this Twitter for vlogging? Rob and Iyaz find out.
Trying to stay informed online can be difficult. Some sites are slow to react to breaking news. OneRiot.com is here to bring realtime news to the public. It searches social sites like Digg and Twitter and then brings you the news with some context. Does it live up to "ChannelFlip" standards? We'll find out in this episode.
It's viewer request time as a person picked at random asks us to take a look at a small social networking site called "Facebook." The site is supposed to let you upload photos, videos, while keeping in touch with friends from all over the place.
Sounds like a crazy idea. Could this "Facebook" actually catch on?
We've covered a lot of sites. Now we're going to step back and take a look at some of them to see what's changed. Did any of them get better, worse, or even get booted off the Internet?
The answer to that question is yes.
Alright folks, it's up to you. Should this show continue? You can select an option from the poll below, e-mail us FiniteComedy@gmail.com, or reply on Twitter to @iyaz. For Twitter, write @iyaz Dinosaurs Live or @iyaz Dinosaurs Die.
So you want to download a something from a file sharing site, but then you've got to wait 30 seconds before you get to download because you don't have a super-mega account.
SkipScreen to the rescue. This Firefox add-on and website claims it can help you get around wait times at these sites. Is it easy to use? More importantly, does it work?
Watch this episode of "ChannelFlip Web" to find out.
So you've decided to join the world of social networking. You want to have a Facebook vanity address, you want @yourname on Twitter, and you want just one web identity. Now you could check all those sites and hope they have your preferred name available.
Or you could use Namechk.com. Namechk checks to see if your username is available or not on tons of sites? Find out more in this episode of "ChannelFlip Web."

One of our favorite movies is "Behind The Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon," the mockumentary/horror movie released in 2006. It is a great movie and we were lucky enough to have its director, Scott Glosserman, sit down with us for an interview.
If you haven't seen the movie, then you should Netflix it immediately (it's available as both a DVD and Watch Instantly). You can get the soundtrack at iTunes or Amazon.com, too.
Scott brought along 3 cast members from the movie: Ben Pace, Britain Spellings and Hart Turner and we found out a lot about the movie. Plus, find out what Robert Englund (actor who played Doc Halloran in Behind the Mask and Freddy Kruger in the Nightmare series) is really like!
We had a great time during the interview and hope you enjoy our interview with Scott Glosserman & Co.
Welcome to the 2nd episode of "Dinosaurs: Before They Were Fuels!" We've got news and we've got renowned paleontologist Jack Horner for an interview!
Download the complete interview with Jack Horner (uncut):
Complete Interview.
We wanted to watch a weekly dinosaur news show, but there were none. So, we decided to make one. This is "Dinosaurs: Before They Were Fuels," the show that covers dinosaur news and olds.
This episode covers a mummified dinosaur, a link between the T. rex and chickens, Walking With Dinosaurs: The Live Experience and time travel.
If you haven't been paying attention, there's been an Olympics going on in China. Maybe you've overheard some coaches yelling at athletes. Maybe you've heard some of those announcements over the P.A. system. The problem is you can't understand a word they are saying because they speak Chinese and you don't.
Welcome to ChinesePod.com. This is the place to learn Chinese. A billion people speak Chinese, now you can, too.
Plus, ChinesePod has been nice enough to give you ChannelFlip viewers a cool deal for free. Go to the comments section for details.
A DVD Special. We're looking at the "How I Met Your Mother" Season One DVD Set. The television show is good, the special features are good, but what's with the 4:3 aspect ratio? What is this? 1953? They didn't have DVD's then, but get with the program, CBS.
Ever ask someone to call your phone so you could find it?
What if that other guy doesn’t have his phone either?
PhoneMyPhone.com to the rescue!
This site calls you when you need it. Rob and Iyaz give you some ideas on how you can use this great little site to your advantage. Phone My Phone’s uses are limited only by your imagination.
Who watches the watchmen? Well, we watched the "Watchmen" trailer and try to figure out how the movie will be. Also, a quick recap of what made "Watchmen" a monumental comic book series.
"Dark Knight Week" spills over. There was so much to talk about, there's a whole episode where Rob and Iyaz discuss the inevitable Batman 3. Who will be the villain? Will there be a villain?
Ever watch a movie and wish it were better? Some people out there thought the same thing and then did something about it. FanEdit.org is the place to find movies edited by fans. Find out more in this episode of ChannelFlip Tech.
Rock Band has dropped for the Wii and we wanted to take a look. How does it compare to Guitar Hero? What happens if you forget to bring the kick pedal for the drums? Find out in this low key edition of "Killing Time."
Iyaz and Rob take a look at The Man Registry.
Those of you have who ever been married will know that wedding presents are great in theory, but terrible in practice. Yes, it’s lovely to have a set of saucepans. Yes, some new towels are grand. But what about the Xbox 360? The in-car GPS? The new Hi-fi? Why is it that all wedding presents seem to be bought for… well, girls?
The Man Registry aims to fix the problem. Can it deliver? Watch the video for the verdict.
So you're hanging out with your friends and you get into a discussion about women. You are bound to argue over certain women's attributes in your discussion. Where do you go to find your answers? Wikipedia? Nah. That place is old news, people. Go to Chickipedia.com for answers!
The third installment of "Dark Knight Week" is here. This time, the guys take a look at the Bat Gadgets in "The Dark Knight" like the batsuit, the batpod and more.
More "Dark Knight" for you. Rob and Iyaz try to figure out who will have to try to fill the role of the Joker. Heath Ledger's amazing performance is a hard act to follow.
We're kicking off "Dark Knight Week" here on FiniteComedy.com. Iyaz and Rob start it with a review of the unbelievable "Dark Knight." Is this the greatest movie ever made? Arguably.
Iyaz shows you the mod he did to a cheap HD Aiptek camera. Find out about the camera, the mic, and more. The video may look off because it's a bootleg. Due to compression problems, this is actually a video of a video. It's a bootleg cam special.
Want to read something new but don't know what to choose? Check out WhatShouldIReadNext.com. This great little site suggests books to you in a very simple, almost Google-like interface.
Ever get so frustrated that you want to yell? But then you realize yelling isn't the way to go -- publish your anger online. Where should you go to do this? Twitter? Facebook? No friggin' way. It's got to be JustAnger.com
Catwoman vs. Elektra. Which was the better movie? Which was worst? What happens when two guys watch the movies at the same time while conducting a "Power Hour?" Find out in this episode of "Killing Time."
Take a look at the studio and workshop. It's where all the magic happens. Then Bob the Builder constructs something big using his woodworking skills.
Ever have trouble trying to put together words? Want to get your thoughts out on the web? Then have we got the site for you! Check out BureauOfCommunication.com on this episode of ChannelFlip Tech.
A long time ago, Rob and Iyaz pitched ChannelFlip.com a show. They wanted us to try a shorter-form show. We said sure. Here's our first attempt at doing a show about websites. We reworked the idea and now you can see the results every Friday on ChannelFlip Tech where we discuss how to use online to live offline.
Ever get tired of listening to the same music over and over again? Goombah, a music recommendation engine, is here to save the day. See how fun it is to install this application and how useful the app really is in this episode of ChannelFlip Tech.
"Complicate Life" is coming back. Why? Because no one demanded it. That's why!
How manly are you? You can always be more manly. Rob and Iyaz show you The Art of Manliness.
We're back! Welcome to ChannelFlip Tech. Iyaz and Rob are your hosts on Fridays. Today we look at UrbanDictionary.com in an attempt to make I.A. more with it.
