Have you ever came across any web applications or services that you might think it's not necessary to use it at all? Well, I have two here (manage to find two only). So let take a look at these two web services.
1. ReferHide
ReferHide.com will hide your website's referrer information from website's that you link to.
Unless you are putting links to porn sites or any illegal sites on your blog, otherwise you have no reason not to let the website that you link to, to know that your blog is the referrer right? So you don't need this web application at all!
2. StumbleUpon Checker
StumbleUpon Check (sucheck.com) is a web application that allows you to easily verify that a page has been stumble (on StumbleUpon) by a certain user.
... You'll be given a Status (it'll show if the user actually stumbled that page or not) and you'll also be given a Certification Image.
So basically, you might want to use this service to verify that you have stumbled a page, especially when doing stumble exchange with other bloggers. StumbleUpon Checker will then rewards you with a certification image or I called it "Stumble Certificate". But no thanks, for me, it's just a lame web application and most of you don't really care about this.
Well, if you do want such certificate, I will reward one to you. Just stumble this post and you'll get your certificate. Here is an example. :-)
Anymore to add?
Any other web services that come across you mind that you think don't bring any good to you? Leave me a comment to share it. :-)

Tips n Tricks
I always have the problem to eject my external hard disk from my laptop. So I already get used to this error message which was kind of annoying sometime.
The solutions that I always used are by unplugging the external hard disk directly even though I get the error message or turn off the computer and unplug it later.
But now I have a better solution to fight this problem. I am using a free Windows application called the
Unlocker, purposely used to delete locked files with error messages.
Other than the above error message, Unlocker also works fine to get rid of the following type of error messages.
and these too :
Cannot delete file: Access is denied
There has been a sharing violation.
The source or destination file may be in use.
The file is in use by another program or user.
Make sure the disk is not full or write-protected and that the file is not currently in use.
How to use the Unlocker?
Once you have the Unlocker installed, simply right click on the file or folder with the error message and click Unlocker. You will see a pop-up dialog box, click Unlock All and you’re done!
