The creators of the world's most popular Online Alarm Clock go video, with their release of a new Video Alarm Clock that lets you use online videos as browser-based alarms.

Berlin, Germany, January 06, 2010 (PressReleasePoint) -- That clock site has struck again! Yes, another wild idea has come from OnlineClock.net. They’ve released a new Online Video Alarm Clock. The Video Alarm Clock is an idea from the same creative masterminds who created the world's original Online Alarm Clock, and they claim to have had this idea for a while, but just needed time to figure out how to best execute it, using today's technology.

OnlineClock.net is the most popular Online Alarm Clock on the web and they found it fitting to begin using videos from the number one video provider online: YouTube. Using the online Video Alarm Clock, users can easily use YouTube videos as alarms in their web browsers.

The original Online Alarm Clock remains unchanged and users can access the online Video Alarm Clock separately. The creators and code-monkeys at OnlineClock.net devised several easy ways for users to connect a video to their alarm clock. Users may enter a YouTube video URL or a ID for a particular video into the OnlineClock.net website to select a video alarm. The Video Clock also has a search function that will recognize keywords and guide users toward a video related to those keywords. However, the most powerful tool in Online Clock's video selection toolbox is their Video Alarm Clock Bookmarklet.

The Video Alarm Clock Bookmarklet is a simple add-on for a web browser. It adds a button to the browser and allows the users to choose a specific YouTube video as an alarm with literally one click of a button. The Bookmarklet can be installed from the OnlineClock.net website. Depending upon the browser the user is running, the button can be installed by either dragging it onto the toolbar or right-clicking and selecting "bookmark this link".

The Video Alarm Clock does not require any special software and uses browser functions that most users already have enabled: cookies, JavaScript, Flash, and an active internet connection. YouTube videos must allow embedding for them to be used as alarms. At this time only YouTube videos are supported, but the people who run OnlineClock.net are open to suggestions. If they have enough requests to work with other video providers, support for videos from additional video portals may be added in the future.

Users will not be required to choose between the original Online Alarm Clock and the Video Alarm Clock. They will be able to switch back and forth between the two as desired. The Online Video Alarm Clock has the same customizable features as the original: users are able to adjust the size of the numbers as well the color of the background.
