One of my favorite tools builtwith.com was out of commission today. It was showing a 503 error Service Unavailable.
The builtwith blog mentioned that they were working on the issue. It looks like they are back and running now. I feel for the team, I’ve been there. It’s not fun. Their twitter post explained it: https://twitter.com/builtwith.
Another cool thing about builtwith.com is that it is written in C#. http://blog.builtwith.com/2011/12/15/what-is-builtwith-built-with/

I love technology. I love how the process of doing tedious tasks can be simplified. I can remember when creating an favicon was a true task. You had to download some type of app that would transform your image to a PNG then do some maniuplation to make it the right size.
Today there are some great sites that take your image (almost any size) and generate a favicon.

- http://www.html-kit.com/favicon/
- http://tools.dynamicdrive.com/favicon/
If you are creating an iphone or ipad app you can also create an image online. Here is a pretty good site for doing so. http://www.midnightmobility.com/iphone-icon/
I thank those who run the above sites and how they have made my life easier. Happy icon generating.

I typically use google webmaster tools to manage my sites. This includes things like search submission, keywords, and robots.txt. I recently got a partner email from Microsoft (the company I work for is a MS partner) and in that message was a link to Microsoft’s Tools Ad Labs. I did not know these even existed. I started playing with the location tool it is pretty interesting.

If you have used these tools and recommend anything let me know.
