Blog from my phone

Trying out adding a blog entry from my phone using email. Currently laid in bed about to go to sleep, hopefully.

Just got into bed when skype started ringing. Skype is an internet telephone program. It lets you talk to any other skype user for free but also lets you call a normal landline very cheaply to just about anywhere in the world. It costs 1.1p a minute to just about any major country. Only problem i have is i havent plugged a microphone into the computer yet, slight drawback. thinking about buying a proper headset but not sure how much i would use it.

Some other stuff i had a quick look at tonight were friendster, a9 and flickr.

friendster is a way to meet up with old and new friends online you can do all sorts with it. Only any use if your friends use computers a lot of mine dont.

A9 is sort of a search site. It lets you search several major river from the one place such as google, imdb, amazon, etc. It keeps a record of every search you make and lets you look at your search history. It also has extra features if you install the tookbar in your browser, such as browser history and other stuff. Only thing i dont like about the idea is a company knowing who i am and exactly what ive been searching and browsing. A9 is by amazon.

Flickr is an online photo album which lets you upload your pictures and create comments, slideshows and other stuff.

The above 3 sites i havent yet tried properly just read up on them. A9 i originally looked at months ago when it was 1st launched but was put off due to the privacy issues.

My fingers are about to drop off after typing all this on my phone. So thats it for tonight!
