A great countdown timer tool. Enter the date, time and title. The site generates a link for you to share or bookmark. So you can turn your browser off and come back to it, unlike many similar tools. Good for setting homework & essay deadlines.

A well designed and easy to use site that lets you bunch upto 5 links into one url to share. When you link on the link it shows you where the links are taking you.
