When you need to search the internet for something, Google and Yahoo! are the two places you will ever need to go. But why visit Yahoo! and Google separately to search for the same query when you can do so at the same time.

Try Releton. Releton returns results for your query from both Google and Yahoo! search engines. You can choose how much significance you want to give to the two search engines using the slider on the website. By default the silder is 50-50, giving equal importance to both engines.

Try it & save time.

Want to know if how much time your blog takes to load on a browser or to know which component in your blog is taking the longest time to load ? Try Octagate SiteTimer. This AJAX service analyzes a blog and displays how much time it takes for each component in your blog to load.

The mechanism is simple. You specify the URL of the blog you want to analyze. Then SiteTimer visits your site and downloads each and every frame, image and other web components. Finally SiteTimer displays in a AJAX interface how much time each and every component takes to download.

You can see the analysis of this blog below.

From the graph, you can analyze exactly why your blog is loading slow and which component is taking the longest time to load on your visitor’s browser. You can then optimize the loading time of your blog by moving that component to a faster server or reducing the size of the component or even removing it, if it is not of much use.
