Scrutinize My Website

If you’re like me, you click around the internet collecting stats on your website. I want to know about keywords, compatibility, rankings and anything else that I can possibly find. Let’s face it, it’s good to know where your website stands in this great big interweb world.

Thanks to my friend Lisa, I now have a one-stop place to gather all the info I could possibly want and some that I didn’t even know I needed. The Scrutinze This site offers 256 tools all in one place.

Just be very careful; you could so caught up in this site that you may forget to stop for supper. :)

What’s That File?

If you’re using a Windows machine, chances are you’ve wondered about the files running on your computer. Anytime I have to troubleshoot one of our computers I usually check for running processes first. It used to be, with Windows98 and prior, that I could easily figure out which files were not usually listed and may be causing problems. With WindowsXP, that all changed. I don’t always recognize he files listed so I often spend too much time researching each file.

But there’s a better and faster way. Just type in the file you’re wondering about at What Is That File and watch as the information appears as you type.. Web 2.0 is cool like that sometimes.

If you don’t find your file in their database, you can add the file and any info you have for it, to the site. The more people who use What Is That File the better it will be. So the next time a file has you stumped, check there first. And be sure to add your own files so the database there  will grow.

If you want a quick and easy way to look up domain names for availability, check out the Instant Domain Search. This Ajax powered site will tell you as you type whether the .com, net or .org domain name is available or not. Try it.

Quick and easy.
