Watch how visitors surf your website [Web analytics tool]Sometime ago we showed you how you can get real-time notifications on your desktop when your website is viewed by someone. Today we feature another such analytics tool that gives you an idea about how visitors actually surf your website by recording their every gesture.

GhostRec - web analytics serviceGhostRec is an online web analytics service that essentially records mouse movements and clicks done by your visitors and stores it as a video which you can playback later. Hence you can precisely observe how a visitor deals with your site, what interests her, how much time she takes reading your content, how she browses your web-pages, etc.

Upon registering a free account, you’ll have to copy-paste their code into your site’s HTML which will record the mouse gestures of your visitors. You get 30 free recordings. If you need more, you’ll have to buy them. So it’s not a free product. But the pricing is very decent. Plans start from $1.95 for 100 recordings to $32.95 for 2300.

I say even 100 recordings are more than enough unless you have an online empire. You need just samples here, right? You need know the pattern of how a visitor perceives your site. And for that, 100 samples are enough to give you the idea.

All in all, a very nice service. You must try it out yourself.

Spell-check entire website / blog quicklySpelling check is one of the most boring yet important task in publishing. Online publishers and blog writers will agree that no matter how much care you take while writing a post, you are not 100% sure that your content is error free. And what’s worse is that you are simply unaware of your silly mistakes. Here’s something that can help online publishers to spot spelling errors on their websites and blogs.

Spellr.us is a web-based app that detects site-wide spelling errors within a minute. You just need to feed in your website’s / blog’s URL and it takes care of the rest.

Spellr.us

The app lists out errors in three categories: likely, unlikely and possible. And the best part is, as I mentioned above, Spellr.us checks the entire website / blog for errors.

Enough said, I know you are looking for the link :)

How about a Pencil Printer?How about a printer that uses graphite as ink to print on paper which you can easily erase later? Sounds nice eh? That means, less wastage of paper and no more cartridge and ink problems. Currently just a concept, designed by Hoyoung Lee, the Pencil Printer does what may bring a smile on environmentalists. The pictures below, courtesy Yanko Design, depict the working of the Pencil Printer.
