Cool Web Tools

Have you ever wanted to build your own search engine? Want to only scrub sites that pertain to certain queries? Check out Rollyo.

Did you have a better name for Google than...Google? Rename your own 'Google' search engine. It's always good to dream...

Three school shootings in the past 10 days. I'm sure there was an impact on web searches, but the question is 'how much?' Yahoo's Buzz Index has some pretty interesting stats. Whenever a celebrity provides some watercooler fodder, The Buzz Index is a good reference to see what the world deems search-worthy.

On that note, if you want to see how the "buzz" correlates to search volume over time, check out Google Trends. Check out results for Google vs Yahoo. For US based comparisons, it also provides breakout of popularity by city.

Know of any other cool web tools?
