The Internet Traffic Report: Have you ever wondered whether the slow internet performance you have been experiencing all evening is something you are suffering alone or is part of a wider malaise? By monitoring the traffic levels, response times and connection reliability at various strategically placed routers around the world, this site might provide the answer.

While the report does not include any New Zealand routers, it seems to give a good indication of the big picture. Graphs that show the performance over the last seven or 30 days could be useful in determining a quiet period for a big download.

Where is Mir? This Nasa satellite tracking site might come in handy over the next couple of months, after the Russians' recent statement that they intend to land their space station 1500km east of Australia.

eCrush: Got a crush on someone? Know their e-mail address? If you said yes to both then this go-between service can send a message saying someone likes them. If that person has a crush on you too then eCrush will match you up, if not your name will never be revealed.
