Explore web connections with Walk2Web


Every day we link to dozens, if not hundreds of blogs, software companies, news articles, and other web sites here at Download Squad. And most of those sites post links to other web pages.

Walk2Web is a tool that can help you finds new web sites by following the outbound links from a single page. For example, if you type in "www.downloadsquad.com," a few dots will pop up on the screen representing pages we've linked to. Since this blog is part of a network, some of the first links will be to our sister sites, like Engadget, Blogging Stocks, and The Unofficial Apple Weblog.

But if you click the "more" button a few times, you start to see some of the thousands of web sites we've linked to over the years. Click on each of those sites to see pages they've linked to, and so on. It's a great way of finding reliable sources of news, information and tips.

Walk2Web makes it easy to remember some of the sites you find by adding social bookmarking buttons to the interface. You can submit pages to StumbleUpon, del.icio.us, or Digg. Or you can just save your favorites at Walk2Web.

Build the highest tower with 99 Bricks - Time Waster

Wrapping your mind around a simple game like 99 Bricks is harder than you might imagine. The object of the game is to build the highest possible tower using only 99 pieces. Sounds easy enough, but you're playing with Tetris pieces and distinctly non-Tetris physics. If you screw up, you don't just leave gaps that you could have used to score points, you cause your whole tower to wobble and collapse.

Pieces also don't lock to a grid in 99 Bricks, the way they do in Tetris. You can wind up with pieces slanted diagonally, and there's an edge of the board that your toppled bricks can fall off of. 99 Bricks is kind of like Jenga, in that it's almost as satisfying to watch your tower crumble as it is to play seriously. Once you get the hang of the way the pieces behave, it's an addictive little game.
