Something clever.
If your IM software leaves something to be desired, or is dead to you altogether, you may want to give Digsby a shot.
Digsby works with AIM, MSN, Yahoo, ICQ, Google Talk, Jabber, and even Facebook chat, so there’s no reason to be left out of friends on, say, Google because you use Yahoo.
It also lets you know if you have any new e-mail on Hotmail, Gmail, Yahoo Mail, AOL/AIM Mail and even POP accounts without having to log in.

If you’re a frequent user of social networking sites like Facebook, Twitter or Digg, or even perhaps just like tinkering around with the latest software technology, there’s a new Web browser you should try.
It’s called Flock. The browser integrates popular sites like Flickr and YouTube as well as Web mail from Google and Yahoo right into the browser. The concept is meant to save you time so you don’t have to visit and log into each individual site to get updates. It tells you if you have new mail or if a friend updated his or her Facebook profile right inside a minimal tool bar. It’ll even show you if your contacts have uploaded any new photos to Flickr and display the latest thumbnails in their photostream.

In another large step forward by gaming geeks in their quest to take over the world, Merriam-Webster Inc. officially crowned “w00t” the word of the year according to Reuters.
The word “w00t,” spelled with two zeros, is a celebratory phrase. Like “W00t! We just killed the final boss” or “I just sniped you in the head! W00t!”
The U.S. dictionary makers said via TeamSpeak that “w00t” pwned the runner-up word “facebook,” a verb meaning to use the social networking site.
