Flip Title lets you type u?op ?p?sdn!

I always thought typing upside down was an obnoxious novelty trick, but I admit it can be pretty fun. Flip Title, a site that flips over any text you input, showed me that it can also be useful. Upside-down characters can be part of URLs or passwords for a little bit of extra security. They can also be part of usernames on some services, which makes it a pain in the butt for anyone to add you without using copy and paste. Using the magic of Unicode, Flip Title totally flips your words, upside down and backward. If you want text that's upside-down and forward, you'll have to look elsewhere (or type everything backward into Flip Title). Despite the practical uses I described above, I'm still against anyone using upside-down text to annoy me in instant messages.
If you're looking for a text-flipping alternative to Flip Title, you might want to check out our earlier review of Reverse Fad's upside-down text tool.

Here's a line from Flip Title:

And the regular old Flip:
ǝılɹɐɥɔ oʌɐɹq ɐɥdlɐ
Result? Flip does just as good of a job, but sʇuǝɯsıʇɹǝʌpɐ ʇnoɥʇıʍ

Ooh, good point. I hadn't seen the other flip at first, and I usually browse with ad blocking on, so I wouldn't have caught that. Thanks!

Alas, Chrome does not block adverts, so that was the first thing I noticed.

There were a few people on Engadget posting comments like this and they never said how they did it. Finally, the secret's out. >_>;
