Div Counter: A Fun Little Web App That's Unnecessary

I ran across this cool little web 2.0 web app the other day called Div Counter. Sounds interesting, huh? Basically, it allows you to enter the URL of a web page which it then analyzes and spits out a chart showing the number various opening and closing HTML tags. Just for fun, I tried it on a couple of my sites. Naturally, they all had a perfect balance of opening and closing tags which made me beam at the monitor. Then suddenly it dawned on me that Div counter is the perfect example of a web 2.0 app just for the sake of a web 2.0 app. The reason my sites have perfect tag balance is that my HTML editor turns tags red when I forget to close them. Duh!
In the end the only real application I see for the Div Counter is a quick and dirty way to point a self-righteous finger at the competition for not balancing their tags well. Still, it's oddly alluring. Here's the analysis for Bits O' NewMedia.
