Pinger: Fast and Fun Page Link Checker (FireFox)
It's been quite some time since we had a new broken link checker reviewed here. At last I've come across something simple, fresh and useful!
Pinger is a great FireFox addon that checks all (or selected) links on a page and does it very fast!
To use it, you just need to:
- Right-click anywhere on the page and select "Ping all links";
- Select any links on page and click either "Ping all links" or "":
After running through the page links, the tool returns a summarized report:
The above statuses stand for the following:
- Link returned HTTP code between 200 and 300, meaning it's ok
- Returned code was either 404, or some of other 'can't get here'
- Every link has 45 seconds to open and return header. "This one didn't make it, so you better check it yourself"
- Link didn't return any HTTP header. Either is server down, or it's redirecting to protocol other than http / https.
The tool also visualizes the link status nicely by highlighting working links in green, broken links in red, skipped links in grey:
Other broken link checkers we have tried previously:

Google Integrates a Virtual Keyboard to Search
Google has just rolled out a new search feature that would benefit those who search using non-English language. If you're one of these people you'd be glad to know that Google search now features a virtual keyboard that would let you type search keywords in your own language.
Wait, it's not really a touchscreen virtual keyboard like what the iPhone and other touchscreen phones have but an "onscreen keyboard" which you control using your computer's keyboard. You can either click on the virtual keys or by pressing the corresponding keys on your computer's keyboard.
You will see this virtual keyboard if you use Google search in any of the non-English languages supported by Google's virtual search keyboard. A keyboard icon will appear on the left-most corner of the screen which when you click on it will bring out the virtual keyboard.
More details about the Google Search virtual keyboard can be found here.
