Pretty IP Address lookup

Pretty. And useless. No labels on anything, numbers arranged every which way and that, disrupting reading and removing the ability to skim and isolate the information you're looking for.<p>A completely counterproductive design that I pray was done as an artistic endeavour and not as a genuine "design" by anyone who would wish to claim to know UX.<p>Probably one of the worst offenders of "all form, no function" I've seen recently.

Looks like I'm one of the few that likes it so far!<p>I think it's simple, I like the fact that it does just one thing, and I enjoyed the geekiness of the extra encodings (binary, long and hex).<p>Almost every other network tool website is 50% google ads, 50% reverse-dns-propagation-zone-transfer style, with the actual IP address in small or medium size text. Double click selection works well in my browser too (FF 5.0).<p>You have my upvote!

Personally, I much prefer the design of <a href="http://ip.appspot.com/" rel="nofollow">http://ip.appspot.com/</a>

"Pretty difficult to read IP Address lookup" you mean.

Pretty? Sorry but it looks more like one of those tag clouds. A big mess in my opinion.

Looks like a bit of info you can get from thousands of other places, formatted to be useless. Fantastic.

Maybe I'm using the wrong browser (Opera) but I see a big mess of numbers. Nothing pretty about it.

When I cannot double-click any of the fields to select them for copying, it gets pretty useless.

First IP i tried and the RDNS goes "outside" of my display on the right instead of being centered. Lot of white space for nothing on the right. Hard to understand what every value means, I had to check the HTML source and the div id to understand.

I don't really think that's pretty at all... The information is really awkwardly presented and that makes it difficult to parse.

<a href="http://geoiplookup.wikimedia.org/" rel="nofollow">http://geoiplookup.wikimedia.org/</a> is better

The use of a signed integer value is a pretty glaring problem.

Clearly not as good as <a href="http://www.yougetsignal.com/tools/network-location/" rel="nofollow">http://www.yougetsignal.com/tools/network-location/</a><p>Although you don't get the IPv6 stuff.
