Take a Peek at the Back of Popular Websites

April 21st, 2011 | Comments Off | Posted in Design

Have you ever wondered what you’ll see if you can look at the back of webpages? Back of a Webpage has all the answers.

The birds are busy bringing you tweets (links, videos, photos, music, etc).

It’s pretty cool seeing the back of Flickr photos look like the real back of real photograph prints.

SparkTooth: Track Keywords on a Website and Get Notified

June 8th, 2009 | Comments Off | Posted in Tips N Tricks

sparktoothAre you patiently waiting for an article to appear on a website? Now, you don’t have to refresh or constantly visit the site where your desired keyword might appear. You can get an email notification when a phrase or keyword appear on a website or blog through SparkTooth.

All you need to do is enter the phrase or keyword along with the URL of the website you want to track plus your email address. You will be notified when the word or set of words appear on the website. The service checks websites every 10 minutes and once it finds what you’re looking for, your email will be removed from the system. The tool only searches the URL that you have provided and not the entire domain. This will prevent you from getting the wrong notice in cases that the website previously published an article or post with keywords similar to what you are looking for.

SparkTooth simply makes it easier for us to track certain keywords that relate to an article that we are interested in. I may not be an everyday app for some but for those who constantly track the web, this will surely come in very handy.

A Fun Way of Reading Blogs

August 20th, 2008 | 1 Comment | Posted in Blog Tips

This is not just for blog owners but for everybody. You may have probably read about a research on phenomenal power of the human mind. It has the ability to read and understand a word no matter what order are the letters are. The important thing is that the first and last letter of the word is in its proper order.

This is the sample of the text you might have read form a website or your email.

The paomnnehel pweor of the hmuan mnid

Aoccdrnig to rseearch, it deosn’t mttaer in waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoatnt tihng is taht the frist and lsat ltteer be in the rghit pclae. The rset can be a taotl mses and you can sitll raed it wouthit porbelm. Tihs is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the wrod as a wlohe.

Readingtest puts your mind to the test by making your blog or website be read in the same fashion. It’s very simple. Just type in the URL of your blog/favorite website in ReadingTest and you can start reading it in a ReadingTest manner. You will notice the letters are in different positions but you still have the ability to read and understand common words. When I tested it with Orangeinks I have a hard time reading unfamiliar words, especially the name of the companies that I have reviewed. Unless you are familiar with the words written, then you will have no trouble reading the content of a blog or site. Enjoy reading and testing your mind.
