You can now chat with me live, right here on my website. Plus you don’t have to create any ID whatsoever. It’s simple and easy. And fast and quick!

I love this. This will allow users to chat with me in realtime (if I am online on Yahoo! Messenger) and express their views or whatever.

With the Pingbox, Yahoo! becomes the first major IM service to provide a tool such as this for users to integrate on their favorite social network or website. In fact this flash based tool is easy and customizable and you can put it up on any website.

I have done it here. Will be doing it on my other webpages, where I can. You can do it too. Create your own Pingbox.

Well, I must say that even though my preferred messenger (I have been using the service ever since there was v5.0 of the damn good messenger!), these days there’s been a lot of IM spam on it.

Since spam is like an evil that we have to live with. Pretty much the same way as we have to live with the fact that we haven’t found any extra terrestrial life and yet we (being as curious as we are) keep searching for even the faintest sign of even a micro-organism out there (in the big black space).

Anyway, let us get back to what we really are talking here.

Well, a band of former Google executives have put together a cuil (pronounced ‘COOL’ ) search engine. Or atleast that’s what they have thought of it themselves.

So, what does it have for us? Well, we have to test the results from this new search engine and check it out. I might test it for a couple of days from now and then match the results to that from Google’s own engine.

Yesterday, after finally accessing Yahoo! Mail, I decided to switch to the older version of the Yahoo! Mail client (which is now called Yahoo! Mail Classic).

Well, to my surprise, I found quite a number of changes in the client and then spotted the link at the top right, saying “What’s new?”, which would of course display to us what were the changes that have been made. It does include a complete list of changes but I will mention just some of them here for the rest you can read the complete list of features at Yahoo! Mail:

In another sign of how low corporates can stoop to, just to gain or retain market share, Yahoo! and Microsoft’s MSN have signed a ‘Self-Discipline’ pact regarding their internet services that will make them confirm to the strict compliance of Chinese authorities.
