Heello.com – Another Way To Tweet

August 15, 2011

Looking for alternatives to Twitter? If you are, please feel free to check this new web service out. Heello has been created by TwitPic’s founder Noah Everett, and although the site has existed for more than a year, it’s just become open to the general public. Any person who visits it now will be able to create an account for free, and (to all intents and purposes) send out tweets that are meatier by default.

You see, what Heello enables people to do is to send micro-messages (140 characters in length) that can include media such as images and videos. These micro-messages go by the name of “pings”, and something that sets the site apart from Twitter is that it has a stream of messages which is updated automatically. That is, the site features a continuous flow of messages. If you do begin using the site, you won’t ever have to update anything manually.

And that’s the extent of originality as far as this new service goes. There are no features that could really take Heello above Twitter. Not even a notch. And (unfortunately for its creators) there’s nothing that makes Heello better than any of the innumerable Twitter clones that are already available elsewhere. Ekko, Identica … they mostly do the same. And they got there first, too.

Just-Ping.com – Ping Any Website

March 12, 2011

Just Ping provides people with a remote website monitoring service that costs nothing, and that can be used from any PC or Mac. This service is powered by Watchmouse, and it basically lets you do an online ping from any of 50 different worldwide locations.

In case you have no idea what a ping is, it suffices to say that it is an Internet protocol utility that can be used to determine to which extent any site is reachable. A ping is instrumental in establishing the round-trip time for messages that have been sent to a destination computer on the Internet protocol network that is being tested.

In other words: by doing a ping, you will get to realize whether people can access your site as you intended or not.

As a service, Just Ping comes with a wealth of different commands for testing specific issues. For example, you can suppress the loopback of multicast packets, and allocate (and set) 20 bit flow labels on echo request packets. I know this is all a bit technical, but if you try the site out now you will realize things are easier than they look on paper.

PingBrigade.com – See How Fast Your Site Really Loads

August 21, 2010

There are lots of tools for benchmarking websites, and it is only natural. Today, the number of people who have sites (or blogs) of their own is staggering.

These individuals are competing with each other for supremacy, and having a site that loads even a couple of seconds faster then his competitors’ is a small victory in itself.

Ping Brigade will let just any webmaster determine how many reasons he has really got for taking the champagne off the ice. The site will let them measure ping, web page loading speed and web server latency.

You will be able to learn how your site is loading for people who are spread throughout the world. That is made possible because when you input a URL you will be allowed to have your pick from any of these three main search options: “United States”, “Europe” and “World”.

And a service such as this one is even more important if we bear in mind that aspects such as web server speed will soon be taken into account by Google for determining a website’s PR.

DNSFetcher.com – DNS Tools On The Web

September 10, 2009

My older brother has something of a mania when it comes to DNS. He is always looking up who tried to gain access to his computer, where that person was located, why he wanted to do it, and if there were a way of figuring out what color of socks that person was wearing I bet he would try and learn that too.

If the same happens to you, first of all – take it easy. Second, you will be glad to know that this online resource gathers together an endless series of DNS tools and utilities, all of which are browser-based, and which can be employed for free.

For example, reverse lookup functionality is provided along with a port check and a “Get DNS Records” feature. Besides, routes can be traced in an effortless fashion and you can always fetch WhoIs results by pasting the address on the provided input box.

Granted, this is not the kind of site that will appeal to a large public. But I felt it was important to cover it since these tools (when used judiciously) can give you a better overall understanding of the Internet as a whole.
