Favicon.ico Generator: Make those little graphics for web pages
Favicons are those tiny graphics in the tabs when you open a webpage. If you don’t have one for your site, you’ll get a little blank page graphic, and that’s no longer the cool thing to do.
Favicon.ico Generator will help you generate the tiny 16×16 pixel graphic — upload a graphic or paint your own.
Cool Text: Button and Logo Generator
Need a quick button for your site? I love this free tool. Cool Text creates simple logos and buttons in a few minutes. I’m more fond of the buttons than I am the logos, but they’re both worth a few minutes of experimentation.

Search Engine Mania
This post comes straight from a longtime reader. Thanks for the list, Mark!
A colleague just shared this list with me, and I thought this might be something to include on your list of free and low-cost tools. With so many ways to search the Internet now, you shouldn’t necessarily stop just because you don’t find what you’re looking for with the first search engine you first try!
www.goodsearch.com – when you use this one, they will donate money to a charity/cause of your choosing, or to the one they have chosen for the day – makes you feel good!
www.cuil.com (pronounced “cool”) – searches for and ranks pages based on their content and relevance. It claims to have a larger index than any other search engine.
www.gapminder.org – you can view statistics in kind-of a 3-D bubble graph the moves as the data/facts/dates/ increase.
www.waybackmachine.com – you can find the original link for anything that has been online…the archived version.
www.bing.com – very similar to yahoo.com and google.com
www.searchme.com – Multimedia searches
www.blinkx.com – you can enter a word/phrase and any video that has this word/phrase in the text should appear – this one is fun!
