You can lookup IP addressees, check spam databases, check for free email addresses, reverse DNS lookup etc etc. It also has a nifty little function that allows the skin on the page to change to any number of more familiar O/S skins. The mapping of the IP address tool used google maps , and it only bring you to the city, not the exchange. Tools on Statcounter will bring you right to the exchange.
