My Opinion about AIM for Windows Mobile Beta 2

So far I think that AIM for Windows Mobile is a decent program.  It is kind of sluggish at times, but it is still in beta.  I did send the development team an email about my concerns and issues with the application.  I also would like to see a future version take advantage of the touchscreen and allow me to use finger gestures to scroll through my contacts.  I definitely like how I can manage my conversions on the left side of the application.

For now, I am still going to stick to using the OZ Instant Messaging app that was preinstalled on my Sprint Touch.  But AIM for Windows Mobile is definitely worth the download to try out.

Google ventures into virtual reality with ‘Lively’

SAN FRANCISCO – In the latest expansion beyond its main mission of organizing the world’s information, Internet search leader Google Inc. hopes to orchestrate more fantasizing on the Web.

The Mountain View-based company unveiled a free service Tuesday in which three-dimensional software enables people to congregate in electronic rooms and other computer-manufactured versions of real life. The service, called “Lively,” represents Google’s answer to a 5-year-old site, Second Life, where people deploy animated alter egos known as avatars to navigate through virtual reality.
