Rapidstack – For Searching Rapidshare, Of Course

March 3rd, 2009 | No Comments | Posted in Webapps

This is one of those strange finds that happens when I’m thinking about starting a new project. I was downloading something from Rapidshare and I thought to myself “I wonder if I could scour the web for Rapidshare links? See what’s out there, and what not.” Yes, I talk to myself like I’m in a Sherlock Holmes novel.

Anyway… the point is that I searched to see if someone had already made and app to search for Rapidshare links and, in fact, someone had. I found Rapidstack, a nice ajax-driven search engine. It even claims that it weeds out all of the dead links before displaying the results. I’ve had no problems with any of the links I’ve found, so I’d have to say that it does its job.

It has left me wanting something more, though. Because of Google Analytics, I’m now addicted to graphs. Pretty pretty graphs. I can only imagine what the graphs of keywords from Rapidshare links would look like.

Twisten.fm Lets You Listen to What Others Are Twittering About

March 2nd, 2009 | No Comments | Posted in Webapps

Yet another music service using Grooveshark (or by Grooveshark… yes definitely by them). This one trolls Twitter updates looking for Tinysong links, and gives you a convenient play button so you can just start listening without navigating away.

It’s a great way to discover new music. That is, it will be until Twitter becomes so mainstream that all those people from Myspace start using it. Then it’s back to looking for needles in haystacks. Or just back to Last.fm.
