You use plain English to tell E.ggTimer what window of time you need counted down. The time variable is plugged right into the URL—if you need a 20 minute countdown you use the URL http://e.ggtimer.com/20minutes. You can use combinations of years, months, days, hours, minutes, and seconds with the same plain style, just by entering the variables in logical order: 01days before 00hours, then 20minutes, etc. The timer starts when you load the URL in your browser and counts down in large block letters in the browser window center, with an animated black and white border that slowly fills in as the time passes. While it might not be a practical count down tool for retirement, it's extremely handy for a quick monitor on your brewing tea, or your next break to stretch and get some fresh air.
If you need to upload a file to multiple sharing sites, Gazup can mirror your file across many of the popular free file hosts. 
No more triple-clicking for every file you want to send over Gmail. Clicking "Browse" now lets you select multiple files at once to attach to a message, and tiny progress bars are displayed while each file uploads sequentially. Nice improvement over all that clicking, and fewer guesses as to whether "Still working ..." means progress or eminent browser crash. [
Windows only: If you need to grab both video and still screen captures, but don't have the need or budget for professional software, Extensoft Screen Capturer can do both with ease.
