Thanks Terri. I really like Diigo a lot as it is such a great way to spread the word about wonderful resources like these. I also like the weekly blog/digest that is sent it. I find it very helpful.

SafeShare is a website that takes YouTube videos and gets rid of almost ALL of the advertisements and junk around the main video. Safeshare even removes the ads that are often showed before popular videos. Using it is VERY simple and I really don't know why I did not convert all my videos before now. All you do is copy the YouTube link and paste it into Shafeshare.tv (see image below) Then you are given a new link to use instead of the YouTube link. Save that to your favorites and you are set.

This is great. Will have to check it out.
