Browsing around, I decided today to give Skype a try. All I heard until now is that it use end to end encrypted communication and the voice quality is quite good.
Skype is free internet telephony. As with other services (I mainly use siggate), you are charged when you call ordinary phones and it is cheaper than using regular phones (examples: Mauritania 0.291/min, France 0.020/min, USA 0.020/min). You can buy credits using your credit card.
The nice thing with Skype is the user directory. Just enter a name/location and let skype search. Once found, you can add the skype user to your contact list.
The sound quality is really good, subjectively I is better for me than sipgate (which us standard voip).
Please download, install and register on Skype and call me. I don't have many people yet to talk with (most people I know use standard voip).
Google alert is a service which send you an e-mail each time your search keyword appear in news. Pretty usefully when you want to be informed about every good and bad news of your company (or whatever else) without checking all news sites every day. Once you did enter the keyword, you will receive a mail and have to confirm for the registration. From now on you receive a mail each time your keyword appear in the top ten of google news. Read the FAQ for more information.
Check Yahoo comics to be sure to not miss your favorite comic. See Garfield
