I’m going on a month long trip later in the year and wanted a way to communicate with my customers without having to pay huge long distance and hotel fees. Skype gives me the flexibility to communicate with my friends and with my customers. Most of them will never even know I’m using it.

Get your Zwinky now.
OK … I actually had to do a bit of digging around to figure out what this is all about.
When you go to this site, what you are doing is downloading a search bar that will work with your Internet Browser (Internet Explorer, Netscape, etc). On the search bar is a Zwinky link …
ZWINKY: This feature allows you to create and modify avatar characters, save your avatar settings, post them online in a profile page and be viewed by other users, search and view other users’ profile pages, post messages on your profile page and access online chat rooms.
So … what on EARTH is an Avatar? I’m familiar with them from chat rooms and forums … the little “icons” that you use to represent the “hidden” you.
CLICK HERE to download your toolbar, complete with Zwinkys, smilies and a pile of other stuff.
You know … I’ve already got way tooooooo much business related stuff loaded onto my Explorer page. Has anyone tried one of these? Comments?

Melanie
PS … Any country. You are supposed to be over 13 for this … though I have NO idea how they would know this!
Here’s two avatars I relate to … depending on the day!

Here is a great freebie for my Canadian readers.
What you get is TWO weeks of free DVD rentals. The DVD’s (huge selection) are delivered straight to your door. There are NO late fees. You can watch the DVD’s at your leisure or you can become a power watcher.
What on earth is a “power watcher”? I got the label from a friend who literally watches a movie every day using this plan. A bit too much time on the couch for me!
There are several plans available, from $11.00 to $50.00 a month so you have loads of choice AND you never have to deal with the late fees again.
