Remember Spotify? Voddler is also a free streaming service, only it streams video, not music. You will need an invite to use it. You also need to install the Voddler player, which requires Adobe Air. The video and sound quality is great for a stream to be.

Annoying thing that Windows 7 has new gui and controls, but fear not if you want to have your msn client minimized to the system tray. Follow these 4 steps(and it will behave as in Vista):

1. Close Msn completely.

2. Go to Program Files->Windows Live->Messenger right click on msnmsgr.exe and click properties.

3. In the "Compatibility" tab, check of "Run this program in compatibility mode for", and select "Windows Vista (Service Pack 2)" from the drop down list. Click OK.

4. Start Msn again. When you now click the X button in the top right corner, it will minimize to the System Tray!

EtherPad say its the only "really real-time" web-based word processor. At this time its possibly true. Its really fast. They also added a playback function of the history of the pad, almost like in google wave.

You can create a pad to chat, write, brag or just tell a story. Generally, only people who know the URL to your pad will be able to access its contents. In this way, you can control access to a pad. You can think of the randomly-generated URL as a sort of password.
