TechBargains.com, a leading deal aggregation website for electronic products, breaks down three simple tech-related ways to save on monthly energy bills while being mindful of Mother Nature in time for Earth Day, Sunday, April 22.

Adjust Power Guzzling TV Settings

Televisions, particularly Plasma TVs, consume large amounts of power. Most televisions are set to wow potential buyers in-store with high brightness and contrast levels. Be sure to avoid Dynamic or Vivid modes and turn TVs to Movie, Cinema or Standard mode to use less energy.

Sell, Recycle or Donate Old Gadgets

With the regular release of next generation mobile phones, MP3 players, laptops, and cameras most people accumulate gadgets they no longer need. One option is to sell the gadgets on sites like Craigslist.org or Gazelle.com. Best Buy also has a trade-in program online and in-store where you can hand over old gaming systems, televisions, musical instruments in exchange for a gift card.

Another option is to donate old mobile devices to Cell Phones For Soldiers, a non-profit organization that sells, refurbishes or recycles mobile phones and in turn provides pre-paid calling cards to military men and women overseas.

Install Energy Saving Devices That Pay for Themselves

Smart power strips and intelligent surge protectors can be purchased for under $ 30. These devices reduce the amount of standby energy consumed by televisions, computers and other consumer electronics that are plugged in 24/7. To monitor the amount of power each device consumes, invest in a Kill-a-Watt electricity monitor for under $ 20. The device determines how much power consumer electronics use and some premium models even calculate what an appliance costs to run.

These simple energy saving tips can not only put money back in your pocket, but they help the environment, said Yung Trang, President and Editor in Chief of TechBargains.com. As consumers devote more of their time and money to electronics, energy consumption becomes more of an issue. By taking a few minutes we can each do our part to painlessly and profitably start our own green initiatives at home.

Helpful resources for consumers can be found on Techbargains.coms YouTube channel which focuses on product reviews, product deals, gadget giveaways and seasonal shopping tips.

Montreal, QC (PRWEB) March 31, 2012

WatchMojo followed up its first full year of profitability in 2011 by surpassing 750 million all-time views in the first quarter of 2012.

WatchMojo finished 2010 with 245 million all-time views and then added 466 million total video views throughout 2011 to finish the year with 711 million cumulative views, crossing 750 million combined streams in February 2012.

Its important to put these numbers into perspective: the reality is that YouTube generates 4 billion views per day, for some aggregators or ad networks these numbers would be disappointing, explains WatchMojo CEO Ashkan Karbasfrooshan. But, he continues: for a content creator that owns a big catalog of evergreen videos, these numbers are pretty strong and serve as a validation of both our editorial vision and distribution strategy. Most importantly, the growth in these numbers will only accelerate as video becomes more commonplace on the Web, mobile and tablets.

Indeed, in a year that saw YouTube tower over its competitors, WatchMojos YouTube channel now features over 6,500 of its videos, generating over 125 million views. Meanwhile, WatchMojo has managed to diversify its distribution and revenue streams across thousands of top-tier, mid- and long-tail sites thanks to the breadth and depth of its library.

Since 2006, WatchMojo has created one of the largest libraries of professionally-produced, premium videos on the people, places and trends that have shaped the world.    

WatchMojo was founded in 2006 by Ashkan Karbasfrooshan and has emerged as one of the most industrious and polished video content creators with a catalogue of seven thousand videos on lifestyle, entertainment and knowledge. The companys pop culture and infotainment videos are carried on portals including Yahoo!, MSN and AOL, as well as video destinations like YouTube, Hulu and many others. Throughout the year, WatchMojo added Time Warners Roadrunner.com and many other distribution partners.

Expanding its tentacles away from the Web and into mobile, out-of-home, and over-the-top connected devices; WatchMojo also helps academic publishers teach global students how to speak English. Indeed, WatchMojo has become the de facto video provider to academic publishers, media companies and ad networks.

In out-of-home digital networks, WatchMojo generated well over a billion impressions throughout 2011 alone.

Additionally, the company:

    Crossed 10 million all-time audited mobile streams/downloads in the quarter, as well (the total number including unaudited views is much higher).
    Launched its iPad app to reach consumers on Apples popular tablet, which has sold over 55 million units thus far (it took Apple 22 years to sell 55 million Macs; 5 years to sell 22 million iPods and it took us about 3 years to sell that many iPhones).

Today, WatchMojo reaches 50 million consumers per month across its many platforms.
