We have created this page to share some of the unique items
that we have found on the internet. It is still a work in progress so
watch your step. Most are pretty useless, but fun.
Cool Tools for the Internet - You don't need them, but they sure are
neat!
URLinfo
This is awesome!! You can find out EVERYTHING about a website that you
could possibly want to know. URLinfo is a tool for handling web pages: finding
information about it, translating it, finding related pages, etc. To use it,
type a URL (web page address) into the box in the top frame. Then choose a
tab (such as General or Cache), and click on the name of the
specific tool you wish to use. The Translate and Search tabs
require a bit more, but should be self-explanatory. Click on the [info] link
at the end of any tab for details about it. URLinfo includes 101 tools.
