February 26. imo.im
I love imo.im's chatting system. It allows users to chat with all of their friends on Facebook, Skype, GTalk, and more in one place. And you're not limited to texting, you can also chat via voice and video chats as well. Best of all, it puts all of your chats into one window, so you don't clutter up your screen with lots of windows and tabs. It's amazing!

February 11. Netflix App for iPadI finally started watching Lost (I know. . . welcome to 2004. . .), and I’m kind of obsessed with it. I’m pretty much thinking about either smoke monsters, time lapses or hatches at any given time of the day, and with Netflix on my ipad, I can take Lost with me everywhere. Long car ride? I’m cool; I’m watching Lost. Can’t sleep at night? No big deal. Lost. Stuck waiting forever at the doctor’s office? Whatevs. Lost. Loved by Katrina (aka Scooter) |

February 2. The Cloud!"The Cloud" refers to the delivery of computing power as a service rather than a product, where software is shared online through digitized hardware. What this means is that an individual user or company can pay for only the amount of bandwidth they need, and ratchet that amount up and down on the fly when their needs change. We use cloud hosting to host Tendenci, but it I also love the Cloud in my non-work life for services like Pandora, DropBox, Gmail, etc. Learn more about the cloud!
