Lost in Translation
Wednesday, May 11th, 2005Recently I went to Google’s Language Tools to translate a Web page from Dutch to English. Unfortunately, Google doen’t offer Dutch translation.
Babel Fish Translation and Dictionary.com do. Babel Fish will translate the entire page. With Dictionary.com, you need to copy and paste the text.
Whois Directory
Wednesday, May 11th, 2005Network Solutions Enhanced Whois Directory is a service that tell you who has registered a particular Web site, using a “Whois” database search.
Some corporations and people mask their Whois records by using agents to register the domain name.
Some of the listings haven’t been updated in years, so they may be incorrect.
It’s also possible to use a proxy service to hide your information; GoDaddy.com offers a private registration in addition to the domain registration fee.
Google Web Accelerator
Thursday, May 5th, 2005Google Web Accelerator is an application that uses the power of Google’s global computer network to make web pages load faster. Google Web Accelerator is easy to use; all you have to do is download and install it, and from then on many web pages will automatically load faster than before.
Happy Cinco de Mayo!
