AIM Triton Beta
Good

Skype (2nd time around)
Don’t have a mouthpiece, but did add a contact, so stay tuned

Semagic LJ Client
Good.

IMVU
Eh…..it could be better.

Trillian
Cute :-P, but its OK

RSSOwl
Forget it. Until the “feed:” protocol becomes as big as “http:”-based rss, I’m not keen on working with this anytime soon.

Yahoo Desktop Search
Waste of Time. I’ve gotten far better with Google’s, anyway.

NewsMonster
Don’t you DARE fuck with this. You can’t uninstall it except through uninstalling and reinstalling Mozilla Firefox.

Yahoo 360 client.

Will do for Yahoo 360 what Semagic and LJ.NET does for Livejournal.

Besides, Yahoo’s integrating profiles in with 360 when someone does register for it.

Functions:

Update blog
Share photos
Create your page
Invite friend
Create Lists
Update Profile
Write reviews
Add feeds
Share Music
Post to Groups
Browse groups
x-post

Comes with plug-ins for Yahoo’s Music Engine, Messenger, and Desktop Search (and vice-versa).

Also, an extra plugin for your LJ, Blogspot, or Xanga client will allow you to update your 360 with/by postings to any of those blogs in particular.

My grand idea for the day!

Got high again. 3 consecutive stonings in one night!

And boy, was I fucked up for the rest of the night.

DO IT AGAIN!

Also, new community:

For the past couple of days, I’ve been shuffling address books from Yahoo (from Groups to the adress book there, and so on) to AOL/Plaxo, so as to see who has AIM, who is on Plaxo (dunno if I should screw with http://hi5.com anytime soon, since they want to invite, invite, invite, and nothing more, although I am registered there), and similar things.

Currently, I’m doing the same with my MSN (also directed to Plaxo….which, to its credit, is only an address book site rather than a pick-up joint).

Now only if AOL had a groups service like Yahoo….*sigh*, we could all dream.

I’m a sucker for sleek-looking bleeding-edge betas, so I decided to try out AIM’s Triton Beta.

Turns out that its bundled with AOL Explorer (a carbon-copy of Netscape, I guess), in the ever-shameless AOL tradition of things.

It looks OK, except for the fact that it also has the ActiveX component. Ewww!

Plus the AOL-E is as slow as dirt. However, I’m only using it since it has this nifty-looking Layout that could best MSN’s explorer. One of the few scores that this Beta has so far.

OK, so the Explorer sucks. However, they have improved AIM quite exponentially.

1) Importing address books from Yahoo, Hotmail/MSN, and Outlook, and the combining of both imports into Plaxo’s address book service (hmmm….OK).

2) The adding of all of those from the aforementioned address books who also happen to have AIM screennames to your buddy list (oooh, score!).

3) The largest address book that I’ve ever had in one place.

OK, I’m stoked. Can they make AOL open-ended as well?

Found out what’s been happening with Mom since the last visit:

Bellsouth shut her Internet down, thanks to a billing dispute between them and some third-party billing company.

Directv is no longer on (thank you God!!!).

She no longer buys milk on an active basis.

…………….

Well, Directv is better off dead, anyway.

But the DSL? Oh hell no!

Just now, I switched out ISP to Earthlink (particularly because its based in Atlanta….I need a job with them). Also, to perk up this day a bit, I finally upgraded this LJ to a free account!

Yay! Check out the new layout!

*sobers down, clears throat*

Well, this was a fine day, a fine day indeed.

I go back to school tomorrow.

Is there a page where stats for Yahoo can be documented? And when I say “stats”, I mean something similar to this: http://www.livejournal.com/stats.bml

Or something like this: http://about.deviantart.com/stats/

Or maybe even something like this: http://www.google.com/press/zeitgeist.html (although that’s not the point).

——————————————————————-

Frankly, all that I’m thinking is a site or aggregation of the following:

1. Age

2. Country

3. U.S. States

4. Gender

5. New Users by Day

6. Popular Interests

7. 360 Posts by day

8. Groups created by day

9. popular groups

10. Populated groups directories

And so forth.

I’m certain that, considering that Yahoo is this behemoth of a computer services company, such a stats gathering as I’ve considered will be as difficult as trying to find out exactly just how big the U.S. Bureaucracy is.
