Stupid Links
Here are a bunch of things to check out …
Friendster and MySpace, haven’t decided if these are cool or not and which is better. I know Friendster isn’t supposed to be cool anymore but thats just all those internet dorks. If you don’t know what they are, you put in your pictures and a profile of yourself and add your friends then you can see who your friends friends are and find other people who like the same stuff as you. So far I think its pointless, but if some people sign up then I can make a final judgement.
Plaxo, some of you probably got an email from me to update your contact info. This site keeps track of all your contacts and lets you send out emails asking people to update. Plus, you can sign up then when you change your info it automatically updates for whoever has you in their contact list. People were concerned about privacy when this first came out but now its pretty solid. It also syncs your contacts with Outlook, which is useless for me but might help some of you.
Firebird and Thunderbird, these are why I don’t use Internet Explorer or Outlook anymore. They aren’t even released yet and are already way better than either of those programs.
MSN Messenger, most people probably have this installed and don’t use it. I haven’t played with it much because there isn’t anyone on my buddy list for it. AIM is terrible as I’ve always said, but my Axim will be here in a few weeks and MSN Messenger is the main IM program on there so I will be using that exclusivly to start on my PDA.
So to summerize: sign up for friendster and myspace. Sign up for plaxo. Use MSN Messenger. Then let me know if you do any of them.
