How much is your website worth? Find out with dnScoop

find out how much your website is worth with dnscoopdnScoop is an online tool that bunches many popular domain lookup tools into one.

It's a location where users can check out the traffic of a particular domain, see the domains history, popularity, PageRank, count inbound links, and perhaps the coolest feature, get a site's dollar value report.

Start off by entering your chosen URL, and then choose a category from the 10 supplied. dnScoop will spit out the results pretty quickly after running through a number of checks and balances.

For instance, in a search on downloadsquad.com, we see that the domain has a Google PR value of 6 with 1,390,153 inbound links. Alexa traffic ranks are provided, as well as the number of indexed pages downloadsquad.com has in major search engines. Last but not least, the most interesting feature, the value report. dnScoop takes all of the above results and calculates them with a special formula to give them a dollar amount. In this case, downloadsquad.com is valued at $5,654,000. And of course you can show this amount off with your very own valuation button to add to your website.

It's a neat figure to show off to your friends, but I wouldn't base any real life transactions on dnScoop data.

Yahoo! integrates with Zillow for instant Real Estate valuations

Yahoo Real Estate logoI've not used the Yahoo! Real Estate service before, but this post to the Yahoo! Search blog perked my interest...

Yahoo! has integrated a few of it's services with Zillow to give you instant home valuations of any address in the US.

A map of the area is displayed using Y! Maps beta technology (so you can move it around \ zoom \ switch to satellite) that displays comparable homes in that area - but you don't get the 'Bird's Eye View' option that you get from Zillow's mapping (it uses Windows Live Local for that)

The Yahoo! team have also added a new Y! Shortcut - type in 'home values' into a Y! Search bar and the first entry will allow you to input an address to lookup.

I've played with Zillow before - it's quite a bit of fun comparing your house to those in the neighborhood, it's also scary just how much information they have on you.

Forumwarz - a potentially offensive time waster

I pwn UAfter spending the better part of an hour on Forumwarz I still can't decide if it's just sick or if it's kind of fun. It's a bit like a car wreck on the highway. I know I shouldn't be looking but I can't quite turn away.

It's sick, it's twisted, it's the internet on it's worst level and darn it, it's kind of fun. At least for a little while.

Forumwarz is a parody role-playing game that takes place on the internet - or at least the Forumwarz version of it. Your goal is to complete missions that are given to you through a mock up of GoogleTalk called Sentrillion.

Your first "friend" is ShallowEsophagus who begins giving you missions to pwn various forums by being a troll. Depending on the character type you are assigned at start up, you have tools like drooling on the keyboard or bashing your head on the keyboard that you can use to destroy forum threads and eventually, pwn a forum.

Future missions involve buying illegal software from the Russians, pwning more difficult forums and other internet oddness.

Completing missions gives you cash, called Flezz in game, and items that you can pawn or use in other missions. The game is NOT for those easily offended. It's crass, coarse and there are frequent f-bombs in the fake chat sessions.

This is also a game for a more mature audience as it requires you to shop at the Drugs R Fun store to get various concoctions to improve your playing, engage in certain cyber activities to get more Flezz and just generally use a more adult perspective.

If you can get past that, here are the more enjoyable and time-wasting aspects.
