Never heard of Firefox? Confused about what the heck Skype is?
If so, you're not alone... but you also need to get with it.
Firefox is quickly becoming the most popular browser on the web, and it's pretty clear why. Not only does it provide faster surf speeds, but it's free, has a sleek user-friendly design, and can be customized with a variety of neat gadgets. Try it, then customize your Firefox experience with these "15 Coolest Firefox Tricks Ever," found on Lifehack.org.
As for Skype, it's a web-based calling service utilizing Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) technology. It's like an instant messenger service (and actually includes instant messaging), but you call your contacts instead of messaging them. Totally free to download, your calls around the world won't cost you a cent, so long as you're calling computer-to-computer. Calling landlines is still dirt-cheap, though... costs vary depending on your location, but it's about 2 cents US per minute worldwide. Not too shabby.
One last freebie: Ever thought about designing your own website? Or, maybe you already do? If so, here's a great pool of resources for web design. Credit to the folks at Kayode Okeyode's Weblog for putting it together.
