We've decided to start a daily screencast highlighting some of the cool things we've found online. We're calling it the Daily Obsession and it will live in both posts here on Obsessable and on our YouTube Channel.

For our inaugural episode, first we take account of the recent news that Google is ending support for Google Notebook (among other services) and find that Evernote now has a Google Notebook Importer. Then we take a look at all the ways you were able to participate in the inauguration of the latest President of the U.S.A., and introduce you to the Obamameter. Finally, we examine a newly launched social media site, similar to Twitter, but which wants to know more than Twitter's default "What are you doing?" : Plinky. If you like what you see and you sign up for Plinky, make sure you follow Obsessable on Plinky.

You can find the just under six minute long video embedded below and don't forget to subscribe to our channel on YouTube. Let us know what you think in the comments below, tell us what of the things highlighted today was your favorite, and feel free to send us messages either in the comments below, via our tips page, or by sending us a message on Twitter @obsessable recommending sites you think we should feature in future episodes of the Daily Obsession. Also, if you think you have the tech chops to contribute some writing to Obsessable, keep in mind that we are looking to contract some more freelancers.

oh my 3 min rule is no video should ever be more than 3 mins, after much scientific research and bias, it has been determined to be the optimal online video length.
