Find out your IP address
Web Site Review on: www.groovyIP.comBut what the blazes is an IP address? Well, it's short for Internet Protocol. An IP address is assigned to a computer as a unique figure and as groovyIP.com point out it's just "like a telephone number". But what does it do? Actually it's fairly straight forward. An IP address allows computers to relate and exchange information over the internet or between groups of computers privately linked together.

This site has a cool feature that allows you to safely email your IP address to yourself. We tested this by setting up a fake hotmail account and using the service. It's been a few months and still no spam! This is a major bonus for the site.
If you like it and want more then there is a 'suggest a service' page. I'm assuming only lazy techies will use this feature. It would be interesting to know what emails they receive however. There is a some what odd resources and links page. Maybe this is a page in development.
Over all it's a cool little site that tell you what your IP address is in the coolest way. The use of a cool font in a flash movie is a clever and unique idea. It's one to bookmark encase you need to find out your external IP address in the future. Maybe you need to find out your IP address now?
