Miranda IM
Miranda IM is a small, fast, easy to install instant messenger with support for multiple protocols. Miranda IM is designed to be resource efficient and easy to use while still providing many features including support for AIM, Jabber, ICQ, IRC, MSN, Yahoo, and more. Supplemented by hundreds of plugins and other content, Miranda IM is very flexible. ..... the official description on the web site ... and this is pretty much true.
I use it since it is less resource eating compared to trillian.

emoze - Free push email & pull email software for mobile devices
emoze - push email & pull email software for mobile devices. A clever solution to set up push email for free. I have not tried it as we use exchange and win mobile 5, but of course not for free.
emoze is probably a good solution for the kids to have push email, as they all want to be up to date on technology all the time. Plus it will reduce the cell phone bill. Once they can email, they talk less on the phone.
Pando | File Sharing
Pando | File Sharing Allows to share files up to 1 GB. It is easy use and quick to set up. Just install a little application and off you go. I have been using pando since it was out in beta. Many people have thought about how to send large files - IM file transfer has limitations, other options as well. Pando solves the problem.

The World Is Flat - A Brief History of the Twenty-first Century
The World Is Flat : A Brief History of the Twenty-first Century: Books: Thomas L. Friedman Here is another interesting book about globalization . It shows underlying trends and main drivers and effects globalization has on our life, politics and business. The only downside is redundancy and repetition, which makes up maybe 20% of the book. Still, I think a book offering great value in terms of understanding what's going on and how things might develop.
