Supernifty - nifty stuff

A radio station recently ran a survey asking listeners vote for their favourite songs, the result being a 500 song countdown of the “greatest songs of all time”.

Supernifty has produced a handy tool for you to play with the results, with a simple search function, charts of the most popular artists, and a breakdown by decade of the greatest songs.

Can you guess who the most popular artist is? Wondering if your favourite made it? Check it out.

Although the results are in many ways a reflection of the listeners’ demographic, it’s still pretty fun to play with.

See the top 500 songs of all time.

If you watched the last Biggest Loser series, Biggest Loser Second Chances, you might be interested to know that you can now see each contestant’s before and after BMI position on the Celebrity BMI iPhone App.

Once you’ve fired up the app, simply click on “Download”, choose “Biggest Loser 2009″ and voila, you have the Biggest Loser dataset available on Celebrity BMI. One thing that is immediately obvious is the spectacular amount of weight all contestants managed to lose, and how spectacularly unhealthy they were at the start of the show.

Whether you use this for your own inspiration, to compare to your own efforts or to marvel at what a motivated person is capable of, hopefully you’ll find this dataset useful. If there is sufficient interest, other Biggest Loser results will be added to the application.

Supernifty is pleased to announce a new service that enables website owners to keep track of their website’s popularity.

Alexa assigns a world ranking to all the websites on the Internet, however, they only keep historical data for the top 100,000. So if your web site is outside the hallowed few, you can easily lose track of how your site has progressed over the weeks.

Supernifty’s Website Ranking Tracker can do this for you. Once you’ve signed up, Supernifty will check your website’s ranking every day, enabling you to easily see how your site performs over time.

You can also download all historical data, for further analysis.

If you’d like to see how your site is faring in its journey towards world number 1, try it out.

It’s free for a month, then if you wish to continue using the service, upgrade for a very affordable fee.
