Trendmetr: find out frequency of search term in Twitter

I love Trendmetr http://www.trendmetr.com for providing a minute by minute updates on keywords I choose. The frequency shows as bars and you can add as many (it seems) keywords as you like.

This is a real time view on what is being said on Twitter. Useful if you want to know how trends are happening, as they happen, rather than rely on the Twitter "Top Ten".

Convert files online to make icons

If you are a web developer or just someone who wants to make some nice icons to use in your documents then creating these seems simple until you try. Reducing file sizes and creating the right type of file is sometimes difficult.
I've found an easy way which requires no software download and the process is really straightforward

http://www.converticon.com/ is a website dedicated to doing this - simply.
