The Website Shadow site will give you an idea of how much your site may be worth depending on a variety of parameters and factors. It gives you more information than just what’s it worth though, so it can be a handy little tool for a variety of reasons.

Just as an example, I typed in Facebook.com to see how much it was worth, which ended up being $5,217,501,744 by their estimates.

The other interesting information provided though include your traffic rank, Google PageRank, how well your website performs related to speed, demographics, traffic, geography, WHOIS information and more.

If you have your own website or manage the sites of others, you might want to add Website Shadow to your list of tools to use for some information recon. You can get details about your own clients and your competitors.

Now if you’ll excuse me I’ve got to go increase my own personal website’s value by about $5,217,501,700 to catch-up to Facebook.

Uncover the details about your website with Website Shadow.

The Dopplr website is a very interesting travel tool that doesn’t serve as a reservations assisting application, but is used more for sharing and interacting with your reservation after they’re booked. In addition, it also lets you share your travel plans easily with your friends, family and other people you trust and want to see your travel itinerary.

If part of your professional career puts you in the category of a "road warrior" for always hopping all over the globe, the Dopplr site could show you when you’ll be in the same city as other friends and coworkers if they’re also using the site.

You can get the scoop on the destination cities your travels take you to, as well as sharing your own tips for travelling along the way.

The end of every year Dopplr will send you a report of your travels for that year. If you have lots of travel scheduled for an entire year they can also show you a nice timeline of what your travel itinerary is going to look like over an extended time.

Uncover information about your travel with Dopplr.

MediaWeek has released their 2009 Digital Hotlist that covers just what has been happening in the world of the web and technology.

1. Facebook – up from #2 on the list in 2008. This site is larger in population than most of the other countries in the world. I used to think Facebook would be replaced sometime by something cooler, not so sure now.
2. Hulu – I’ve been using this more to get some free entertainment. I’ve spoken with a number of people who are debating getting rid of cable/satellite and just relying on sites like Hulu and others for their entertainment fix.
3. Twitter – I think maybe I liked it more when there were less celebrities involved in twitter, but I’m still addicted to this 140-character micro-blogging tool.
4. Google – it’s Google, what else needs to be said?
5. iPhone – I still don’t have one, trying to figure out if I’m upset about it. Is there an app for that?
6. Huffington Post – lots of left-leaning news is getting more popular these days and they’re expanding their topic base to more than just politics.
7. Bing – it’s not a search engine, it’s a decision engine and lots of people have decided to really give it a try and have liked it.
8. Wall Street Journal web (www.wsj.com) – do what? a newspaper that’s still making money online and off? What are they doing right? It appears everything.
9. Federated Media – keeping advertising interactive and relevant, all those eyes watching the other 9 sites are worth a lot of money.
10. Addicting Games – I’m not playing many games these days other than Bubble Breaker and Farm Town. Maybe I should join the millions of other users having fun here.

10-year old Dalton Sherman spoke to the a back-to-school kick-off event for the Dallas Independent School District in Texas. His speech is an inspiration to teachers, or should be and it should also remind us all of the inherent value in each child that steps into the schools every day along with our own children.

My wife is already fearful that I’ve got the swine flu, the other white virus. I personally like to call it just feeling like crap and that my head may explode at any minute.

Microsoft has setup The H1N1 Response Center website to help me confirm that idea by teaching me more about the virus and whether or not my symptoms are worth getting worked up over and wasting a co-pay on at the doctor’s office.

“If current estimates are correct, many emergency departments across the nation could be overwhelmed by two groups of patients — those who have H1N1 and those who believe they have H1N1,” said Angela Gardner, M.D., FACEP, president of the American College of Emergency Physicians. “It is going to be essential that we use every tool and service at our disposal to contain this illness, and online H1N1 self-assessment tools, such as the one offered by Microsoft, can be helpful in providing people with ways to determine whether they should seek emergency care.”

The self-assessment took just a couple of minutes and has confirmed my own thoughts that I’m not suffering from the swine flu, I just feel like a big sow that’s been sitting on the couch all day trying not to move.

If you desire you can save your results in Microsoft’s Health Vault service. If not, you can just visit the Microsoft H1N1 Response Center website and see if you’re pig sick or just regular sick.

The Drop.io website is another listing in that same group of sites. One of the biggest differences from my experience in sharing about these different sites is that Drop.io provides a significant amount of space for users to enjoy for free.

The Drop.io site allows you to share an unlimited number of files that can be up to 100MB in size each. The per file limit is something that’s different from many of the file sharing sites that I’ve had experience with. Knowing I wouldn’t run out of space because I wanted to really use the site is a plus for me as well.

With collaboration being a key feature, Drop.io has a number of applications available to take advantage of their services and integrate them with your needs: Firefox plugins, iPhone apps, Desktop app, widgets and more. Making an online tool integrate with your existing system and processes is a feature that really makes it an easy migration to everyday use.

Drop.io gives you the opportunity to try out their service for free for 30-days.

Then this evening I hear about the Qipit website which promotes sending documents in just that way. Use your camera on your phone to take a picture of a document and then share that document using the network connectivity of your phone.

Qipit does more than just send documents. You can also just store them, actually fax them, email them or even publish them directly on the web if you choose. All of that with just your phone and a picture.

Chances are, you carry a cell phone with you everywhere you go. And more than likely, that cell phone has a camera. Qipit turns this handy device into a portable scanner, copier and fax machine, and the user-friendly Qipit service also works with your digital camera at home or the office.

The patented image-processing science behind Qipit is complicated, but the concept is simple: use Qipit to capture and share anything written or printed. Whereever you’re at. Whenever you need it.

As you use Qipit and share your documents, the Qipit website keeps track of your documents for later use or retrieval if you need them. I just signed up to use the service, I like what I see and will be giving it a try from my own phone soon.

Go to PassiveAggressiveNotes.com and enjoy photos of some of the best examples of passive aggressiveness that you’ve seen. Many of them seem to be related to your corporate work environments and the sneaky theft of food among coworkers.

What I didn’t really expect to happen is that surfing through the site and taking all the examples I started to smile and laugh a bit. Who new passive aggressive behavior could be so entertaining?

The PassiveAggressiveNotes.com website is extremely entertaining to just browse through. I wonder how many people have visited the website and seen a note they wrote or were the person responsible for the actions that initiated the note in the first place. If so, shame on you!

The key to enjoying passive aggressive people is to just be thankful it’s not happening to you. Go uncover the PassiveAggressiveNotes.com website and learn what NOT to do and how NOT to treat others!
