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.

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.
