Another tool gets Web 2.0-ified (well sort of, it’s just Flash, though it is marked beta). No longer are speed tests boring! Thanks to Speedtest.net, you get an interactive map and speedometer-like gauges to see how fast your Internet connection is. From Blog Esoterica:

The site allows you to select servers to ping from around the country on an interactive map and graphically displays connections as they travel with varying speeds along the way. It also lets you store results of tests for your computer and sort them by date, time, speed and distance.

I tried it out, and it seems pretty good. I wish there was something more to the service though. Basically it’s just a flash interface on the same speed tests that have been available for the better part of a decade. That said, if you like fancy graphics, Speedtest.net might be just what you’re looking for!
