If you've ever dreamed about how great it would be to have the possibility to chat with your friends while using a public computer e.g. in the library, Internet café or in your friend's house but you coudn't because there was no Messenger installed I have some news for you.
You can do it now with new MSN Web Messenger. It differs from the "traditional" Windows Live Messenger since it doesn't have to be installed on the computer you are going to use for your chatting.
All you need is a computer with an Internet connection and then just type http://webmessenger.msn.com in your web browser (no later versions than Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0, Netscape 7.1 or Mozilla 1.6).
If you use Explorer you can also add this site to your "favourites" straight away by clicking Ctrl+D.

There are so many mobile phones in use nowadays that it would be enough for half of our planet's population.
The first mobiles appered 26 years ago. According to the latest survey there are 3.3 billion phones in use worldwide today. Of course, it doesn't necessarily mean that every second person on Earth owns a mobile phone. The reason is that it is common to have two or even more devices per person in almost 60 countries while there are no phones at all in some parts of the globe.
People don't use their phones for-calls-only anymore. Also devices with Windows Mobile system are becoming increasingly popular.
When I'd visited Redmond campus (Microsoft headquaters) I was lucky enough to be introduced to the musician who composes ringtones for these mobiles. Benjamin Bethurum is one of the coolest and most energetic people I've ever met. You could've come across his music also on the Czech radio station - Radio 1 few months ago. Benjamin is going to release a new CD soon and it is going to compete also in one of the Czech hitparades.

It's Friday. Again. This one's being quite slow and sleepy. At least here in Prague. It's cold, it's raining, people are not nice neither to themselves nor to others... Therefore I was really pleased to find out that among all those new blogs that are emerging each day is at least one that wants to make people laugh. David Salaguinto has started this brand new blog in a bit untraditional way - it's a web comics. Have a look at it, start smiling and enjoy your weekend!

Business Tuesday session I'd attended this week in Prague focused on the social networking phenomenom. LinkedIn, Facebook and XING seemed to be most popular among the audience. Most controversial topic was Second Life. Presentation about this unique virtual world was shown by a mayor of the Czech city called Bohemia - Martin Dvorak. This is a place where mainly Czech and Slovak communities get together.
It's one of those where I teleport myself regularly during my visits to the Second Life. Another favourite place of mine is a beautiful Strawberry Island with beaches and lots of fun stuff to do. It belongs to a friend who keeps working on it whenever he gets a chance. He also hosts regular Sunday parties and keeps creating secret invitation-only places. One of his recent ones is the Magic Forest. He's made it for a very special event - his wedding. Well, have a look at this beautiful couple on the photo yourself...
