Spanning , which already offers a backup service for Google Apps , is now riding the coattails of Google Drive , promising to help people see, “What’s in your Google Drive?” Two days after the Drive announcement, Spanning released a free tool called Spanning Stats that analyzes your Google Drive account. The company says its report provides data including the percentage documents in your Google Drive by type, the 10 newest and oldest files, how much of the total storage quota you’re using by file type, the 10 biggest files, and the 10 users using the most storage space. It sounds like there were people who really wanted to see those charts and graphs.

Facebook added support for creating and managing offers through the API this week , but a spokesperson tells us that this is only available to select partners who already have access to the self-serve version of the feature. Offers are a new story type for page owners to post coupons that users can collect from News Feed or ad units. The feature is still in beta for premium advertisers and a limited number of pages in the U.S., New Zealand, Singapore, Australia, Japan, and Turkey. Facebook says it plans to launch offers widely in “coming weeks,” which might mean months from now based on how Facebook has used the term in the past

Restaurants just love to put Flash intros with auto-playing music and animations on their front pages. If you are trying to look at a one of these sites on your mobile browser without Flash, chances are there is no way to bypass the animation and get to the information you want because the complete site was designed in Flash. It’s not just these obnoxious animations that make accessing restaurant websites on the go a hassle, though
