100 super useful web sites allowing one simple task each

I just came across this post on imgur showing lots of cool little helper sites. Sadly there were no links in the description, so using some Sublime Text Magic, I converted them.

Just to find out later that not only do imgur posters either post screenshots of links or unlinked links, no, all of this was once again stolen content.

The original list is maintained by Amit Agarwal so please go on to:

Excellent work, Amit, shame people don’t respect it.

To make this not a total waste of blogpost, at least here is how I used Sublime Text to turn a list of non-links into a list of links using a bit of regular expression knowledge (go fullscreen).
