If you have not heard of Eduard Khil (Edward Hill), he is a Russian accidentally viral YouTube star. There is a video of Hill singing a song called “I Am Glad I’m Finally Going Home” — but on the Internet the song is known as Trololo. Here is a link to the original video [YouTube]. There is an iPhone app that is inspired by Hill on the App Store too [P2].
Below is a parody of the Trololo video. It features a cat making similar expressions as Hill whenever he gets rubbed by the owner.

Mobile social network Foursquare has announced a new milestone. They have hit 725,000 users and have hit about 22 million check-ins. Foursquare especially gained popularity at the South by Southwest (SXSW).
Foursquare is a service where you “check-in” to a restaurant, bar, or other establishment. The more you check-in using the service, the more likely you are to receive a virtual badge. If you visit a place a certain number of times, then you get the “Mayor” badge for that venue. Once you actually try it out, you might become hooked right away or not get it at all.

I have a white board in front of my desk and have a sticky notes software on my desktop, but I still never think that is not enough for me to make a solid to-do list of tasks. I need to constantly remind myself of the list things to be done. Now that Google Chrome is my default browser, I’m going to try out the Google Tab to Tasks extension.
Every time you open a new tab, it will show you your to-do lists via Google Tasks. The New Tab to Tasks extension is free. Let us know what you think about it. [New Tab to Tasks via Lifehacker]

Check out the video above. The video currently has over 25,000 views on YouTube.
