Speedtest.net

Test your broadband speed.





Sadly, living just over one mile from the Newton Abbot exchange in Devon, this is the best speed that BT Internet can provide me with until they decide to invest some of there profits in upgrading the lines. This means I, along with the many thousands of other rural area dwellers are unable to take advantage some of the latest multimedia technology such as "BT Vision", which would ultimately increase their profits. I would say this shows a distinct lack of "vision" from BT !

Dizzler

Dizzler is a right 'bobby dazzler'. Sorry about that, giving away my north of England roots there. It's a media player which can search the web for streaming music, video, radio stations and games. Registering with Dizzler allows you to customise the player and create you own playlists of favourite media. You can either access it online or download it as a desktop application, with further options to embed it on Myspace, websites or as you can see below your blog.
Highly recommended for endless hours of entertainment.

RSS & Wiki's Explained

For anyone that has seen the terms RSS and Wiki but aren't up to speed with what they mean or what they can do for you, the following light hearted video reveals all in simple, "plain" english.

Netvibes

Netvibes is a personalised homepage which enables all your RSS feeds, blog posts, search engines, widgets and much more to be aggregated on one page or a series of tabbed pages. Yahoo, iGoogle and Windows Live all perform similar functions but the layout, ease of use, flexibility and the ability to read all your newsfeeds etc. without having to leave Netvibes makes it my personal favorite. To view a tab I compiled showing news and information about my local town of Newton Abbot, click on the 'Netvibe' button
