What is it: I’ll just quote the page: “This World Stats Counter shows current statistical figures for world population, births, deaths, deforestation, and much more. Except for population and earth temp, all stats reflect the growth since the beginning of the selected time period. You can choose to show growth since the beginning of the year, month, day, or from the moment you click the Now button”.

You see, some nice piece of web-stuff but is it really worth a bookmark if you can find it here at any time? ;-)

What is it: A site that renders a web page’s HTML as a colored graph, i.e. a tree. Interesting to see what structure the HTML of a site has underneath, if it’s structured or wildly assembled. Most CMS’s have visible “signatures” if you know what to look for. Sometimes the Site is down for bandwidth reasons, so if it’s gone check again a few days later…

… ok, I cheated, not 1001 but still a lot.

What is it: It’s a periodic chart of visualizations. Just mouseover on the entries to see an example. If you need to visualize something it’s a great way to find better or simply different ways of displaying data.
