The new Yahoo Messenger Beta is now available, with better support for voice chat, making it a serious competitor to Skype. It also integrates well with Yahoo 360. Other cool features:

• it now acts as an answering machine / voice mail: if you make a call and the person is not there, you can leave a voice message.
• drag and drop pictures into your IM window to share them.

Go here for a full list of features and grab your copy.

[update]: I have just tried the voice chat and I don’t think it’s that good. Skype is still much much better. But Yahoo beta is, well, still in beta, so maybe we can expect some improvements? Let’s see…

Adam has just told me that GMail has rich formatting. Yay!!! This is one of the features that I’ve been hoping they’d implement. GMail keeps getting better and better. Not enough? Storage space has been increased to 2Gb.

I got myself an invitation to Yahoo 360º. Thanks to Kent Brewster who sent it to me (thanks a lot, Kent!). I will extend this courtesy to others who might want an invitation too, so leave your name and email in the comments if you want one. Currently having fun playing with the new toy.

I currently have 85 82 81 invitations.

UPDATE: COMMENTS ARE CLOSED FOR THIS ENTRY AND I CAN’T SEND ANY MORE INVITES.

I’ve read at Simply Geeky about this game and now I’m completely hooked!!! Not for everyone, I guess – you must have at least a little bit of geeky blood running through your veins, think outside the box, be creative and good with puzzles. Some levels are easier than others but so far all I can say is: be ready for giving your brain cells a good workout, use Google and other programs other than your regular browser and if you’re the type of person to give up easily, don’t even bother (this requires some patience and persistence). I’m now in level 8 and have been playing for a couple of hours. I foresee a long night ahead. Very cool!!!
