January 29, 2008  10:01 amThere’s a New Tool in Town

This is the living proof that you really should consider guest posting from time to time. A guest post from Janusz on Blogstorm.co.uk pointed me to his link analysis tool; Link Diagnosis. This is a great FireFox plugin, that analyzes link profiles very thoroughly. Check out the post at Blogstorm for some screen shots or check it out yourself.

July 27, 2007  10:49 amWiep.net in audio: Odiogo

Earlier this week, I StumbledUpon Michelle MacPhearson’s blog (see, it works). On her blog, I noticed a weird plugin next to the PlugIM and Sphinn buttons. When I clicked it, I was quite impressed.

There are several audio tools and plugins available for blogs, but I never came across one that was 100% understandable. The one Michelle uses, Odiogo, actually is. Because of a good intonation, Odiogo offers “Near-human” quality text-to-speech.

I decided to give Odiogo a try as well. It also offers stats, so I can remove it again if nobody uses it. This means that you can listen to SEO related posts while jogging or travveling, but it also means that Wiep.net is available for the audially disabled from now on.

July 10, 2007  9:16 pmClip ‘n Save

Disclaimer: This is NOT a paid review. I am not affiliated with Clip ‘n Save/ Dynalink Technologies in any way, nor am I making money with this blog post. A rel=”this_is_not_an_ad” tag has been attached to all links in this post.

When you’re building a website, you’ll need some images. And if you can’t shoot or design ‘em (like me), you’ll have to CCP them. Some people use other tools, I use Clip ‘n Save. This is quite an ancient tool (since 1990 or so), but I guess there are still folks out there that don’t know Clip ‘n Save. Oh, and did I mention it has a free unlimited evaluation period?

Clip ‘n Save let’s you cut an image of whatever you want. Whether it’s a part of an existing image, or whether it’s a piece of right click-protected text, Clip ‘n Save copies it.
The interface of the program is really easy, it’s nothing more than this:

Step 1. Press CTRL+R
Step 2. select whatever you want to copy or save
Step 3. press CTRL+V to paste what you just selected wherever you want.

It’s really that easy. Interested? You can download it right here.

Feel free to share any tool or other thing you can’t live without. I love tools.

July 2, 2007  8:38 pmThat’s it, Alexa sucks!

I’ve had some doubts about Alexa as a metrics tool, but now I’m sure: it stinks. Don’t get me wrong; I already knew that Alexa is far from flawless, but I didn’t think it was this bad.

Because this blog is still in beta (you’ve got to keep it 2.0…) I haven’t posted a link to it anywhere. Besides Erik-Jan -who happened to track his Technorati RSS and saw a new link pointing to his website-, I didn’t receive any visitors. Erik-Jan + me = two visitors last week. According to Alexa, Wiep.net was ranked 209,704 last week…
