Geeky Clean: ICQ Toothpaste or Gmail Soap?

GeekSugar — Wed, 19 Mar 2008 03:30:37 -0700

What better way to "freshen up" then with your favorite geeky toiletries?! How about some minty fresh ICQ toothpaste for your pearly whites or lather-up with an exotic bar of Russian Gmail soap? Although I haven't had the chance to test out either product, I'm sure you'll come out of the bathroom feeling and smelling like a geek-goddess! To brush with ICQ toothpaste or scrub with Gmail soap, that is the eyebrow-raising question.

Meebo Adds Facebook and MySpace Into the Mix

If you have multiple instant messaging accounts that you still regularly use, sites like Adium and Meebo are great because they can consolidate all of your IM clients into one convenient spot.

Meebo not only supports MSN, Yahoo, Jabber, ICQ, AIM, and GTalk, but you can now use it for Facebook and MySpace's messaging services. I've noticed that it comes in handy when you need to talk to someone that you know is on your Facebook list but isn't added to your other IM accounts - just a little tidbit!

Meebo Goes Mini For The iPhone

GeekSugar — Fri, 17 Aug 2007 14:00:32 -0700

Last week I showcased some great IM chat clients made specifically for the iPhone. Well, now I can add Meebo to the list because they've just announced a new and improved version for the iPhone. Discussed on CrunchGear, you can now have all your IM accounts and buddies from AIM, Yahoo!, MSN, Google Talk, ICQ or Jabber in one place. No download is required to get started. Just log into your Meebo account and you're instantly connected. This IM client is guaranteed to load much quicker on both WiFi and Edge networks than previous versions. Such a great way to save money on long distance calls!

Geek Tip: Using Chat On The iPhone

GeekSugar — Mon, 06 Aug 2007 13:00:23 -0700

With so many bells and whistles on my new iPhone, I'm still learning the ropes of various applications, including chat. Unfortunately the built-in iPhoneChat client isn't the greatest to say the least. It can only handle ten minute chat sessions, has interface glitches, software issues and sadly only supports AIM. Consequently, I was curious to see what else I could use to make my chat experience more pleasurable. I've provided some suggestions below which I've found to be the best iPhone IM clients.

JiveTalk: JiveTalk by beejive is a beautiful IM program for the iPhone that looks similar to iChat (with the pretty bubbles), is very fast and supports AIM, MSN, Yahoo, GoogleTalk, ICQ and Jabber.
FlickIM: This chat program, specifically designed for the iPhone, allows you to send YouTube videos and Apple movie trailers over chat. FlickIM can load on the Edge Network in four seconds, whereas other chat programs like Meebo take 20. Probably because it only supports AOL’s AIM, whereas Meebo integrates many clients at once.

The User-Friendly USB Crystal Clip Cam

GeekSugar — Tue, 15 May 2007 03:48:26 -0700

Just clip, plug and play the crystal clip cam and you'll be chatting with friends and family in no time. This USB cam is as versatile as the playful USB happy-kid webcam, as it can clip onto your LCD monitor or just stand on your desk. It also takes still images and rotates up to 180 degrees for easy adjustment. Best of all, it has LED lights so you can chat in the dark (don't get any crazy ideas...hehe). Use it on ICQ, MSN, Skype, etc. Priced at only $19.
