Sometimes (very often, in my case) you'd like a web site or service to cut through the crap and just keep it simple, right? Well, every now and then a service that's really easy to use ends up in our mailbox, and it's a shame not to share it. These sites have no extra annoyances that defer from their purpose; it really doesn't get any simpler than this.
No. Or yes. That's what you really want to know, right? Do you need the damn umbrella, or not? Well, this site will tell you, in the simplest possible terms.
Your website is down. But is it really down, or is it just your Internet connection acting funny again (and you promised yourself you'd switch ISPs last month, damnit!)? Well, you can easily find out on this site: paste the domain name and find the truth.
This file sharing service has recently been redesigned, and although it was very simple to begin with, all of the extra fat is now removed. If you don't care about the extra options, you don't have to see them: just choose a URL, add the files you need, hit "drop it" and you're done.
Ok, this is not very useful, but it's immensely satisfying when someone bothers you about something that can easily be found on Google. There's no point explaining what the site does; just try it out. No, you don't have to hide that smug smile every time you send it to someone: it's part of the experience.
Need a very simple way to create an avatar? Just type in a name - any name - and this site will automagically generate one for you. The images generated aren't particularly beautiful, but if you like retro-styled avatars they might work.
