Blackberry chat blues are over
FINALLY!!!! I have a chat software that rocks on my blackberry. I wasted $50 on IM+, which was a total disaster. Worked fine during the 7 day trial, but died on me only a few days after I had paid for the darned thing. The interface also sucked royally.And then last night, i stumbled upon Jive Talk by Bee Jive. Even though I could try it free for 30 days (60 days actually since I’ve also got a blackberry from Ufone now, which I’m still testing), I have decided not to wait, and paid them the $30. I could have saved $10, but since I could end up using the Ufone blackberry more, and could need to transfer my key to the second device.Jive Talk has the slickest multi-connection and multi-protocol chat interface I’ve seen for a blackberry, and it works flawlessly. I’m not just impressed, but relieved. For whatever reason, all my business contacts still use AIM as the primary chat medium, and the link for downloading AIM to blackberry has been broken for the longest time. With Jive Talk, I’m even more connected than ever before…. didn’t think it was possible, eh? ;-)

Talk google to me
I love Google Talk, and more and more want everyone who wants to talk to me, to use this exclusively. The needless weight of Yahoo, MSN, and AOL messengers is too much; and I’m yet to gain any real appreciation for Skype.
My favorite chat program just got even better. Whether you’re already using Google Talk or not, I suggest you go straight to the Google Talks Labs Edition.

Trillian - Get out of my life
Trillian worked for me ever since its inception some years ago. But I just can’t deal with having to pay to use Google Talk on it. Oh well. Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeere’s Pidgin. A nice and clean website, which seems to be the order of the day. Simple download. Quick installation. Flawless connection to every kind of chat that is out there. I love you my sweet little Pidgin. Eat crap Trillian.

Microsoft - Pack Your Bags
I must admit that I still use Microsoft Office for writing letters and making ridiculously simple spreadsheets. I don’t know why. However, I’m an unashamed fan of Microsoft OneNote, which is the best thing since sliced bread. I’ve been using it for over a year and have a HUGE document repository on it. Then came along Microsoft’s Foldershare and fixed the only missing link for OneNote to get even better. I could now keep my OneNote files synced between the laptop, home, and office PCs. Life was never so good. Until yesterday. I discovered EverNote.

I don’t need no…. Program Launcher
Some days ago I had talked about sTabLauncher which would help put your frequently used links in tabbed groups. Some people commented that I’d be better off using things like Colibri or launchy. Thanks for those comments, because it got me thinking, I have the best launcher already installed on my computer. Those of you who have installed Vista, and obviously already gone back to XP (any sane person would do that), the only thing you could be missing is Vista’s built-in desktop search thing. Well… don’t feel so bad. If you’re sensible, you would have both google desktop AND Windows desktop search, installed on your XP machine. How does that help? These two screenshots should answer the question. In case you don’t notice, Windows search SUX in comparison to Google’s desktop search

Microsoft Foldershare
When Microsoft bough “foldershare” in November 2005, it looked like they just wanted to take out competition. But when a major update was released yesterday, I was pleased to see that foldershare has got the feel of live. And thank God Microsoft hasn’t blocked foldershare like it has done Skydrive for Pakistan. Since I have already been desperately looking for a solution to keep my various computers synchronized, in particular my onenote files, foldershare seemed like a godsent.
People don’t seem too impressed with the new foldershare and there are complaints of it crashing very frequently. However, I have installed it on my laptop and my home computer, and it seems to be working like a gem. Foldershare is keeping selective folders in synch across computers, and also letting me browse files on all connected machines through its web based interface.
I’m not sure why people are having trouble with the app. If it works for you, it’s definitely worth a try.

Picnik goes Freeeee.
I have fallen in love with Picnik, the web based image editor. So far the yummy filters and effects were reserved for premium users, but I have just received notification that they’ve made all the juicy stuff free.
If you still haven’t used Picnik, I suggest you get there ASAP. It is definitely a winner.
