2009-11-13T15:47:41Z 101762 0 Well, it's free and it's the most popular. What more can you say? I'm actually waiting for the next best thing to come along. The interface is too clunky and retarded for my liking. 2135124352 2008-10-09T13:38:01Z 150898 2146-01-07T20:19:39Z Facebook 30143 2009-12-01T23:22:24Z http://www.facebook.com http://wakoopa.com/software/facebook-web http://mallow.wakoopa.com/avatars/000/138/055/normal.png?1251211227 http://mallow.wakoopa.com/avatars/000/138/055/thumb.png?1251211227 35450 Facebook http://wakoopa.com/developers/facebook 23 Social networks http://wakoopa.com/categories/internet/social-networks web Facebook is a social networking website launched on February 4, 2004. The free-access website is privately owned and operated by Facebook, Inc. Users can join networks organized by city, workplace, school, and region to connect and interact with other people. People can also add friends and send them messages, and update their personal profile to notify friends about themselves. The website's name refers to the paper facebooks depicting members of a campus community that some US colleges and preparatory schools give to incoming students, faculty, and staff as a way to get to know other people on campus. 2009-11-13T15:30:40Z 101759 0 This is a great browser-based interface for using Twitter and Facebook. I use it more for Twitter than Facebook, so all I can say about the Facebook aspect of it is that it matches up well with the actual look and feel of your regular news feed. The Twitter aspect of it is really great! It's very easy to use and I LOVE how you can see pictures and videos inline, rather than having to click out to another page to view them. The instant messenger style box for DM conversations is also really handy. Oh, and it supports Twitter lists already. 5426363 2009-09-04T09:18:00Z 294480 2145-12-20T17:01:46Z Brizzly 1865 2009-11-25T00:05:26Z http://brizzly.com http://wakoopa.com/software/brizzly http://mallow.wakoopa.com/avatars/000/159/826/normal.png?1256663651 http://mallow.wakoopa.com/avatars/000/159/826/thumb.png?1256663651 97509 Thing Labs http://wakoopa.com/developers/thing-labs 23 Social networks http://wakoopa.com/categories/internet/social-networks web Brizzly is a web-based application for Twitter and Facebook, currently in beta.

I've used it in OS X, where it was pretty good, and I've used it in Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala, where it seems to really kick ass. It lets you choose which parts of a torrent you want to download and you can flip through a few screens of stats, like peers, etc. Standard stuff. 79323606 2007-05-10T18:58:01Z 11193 2009-12-02T23:26:20Z Transmission 5728 2009-12-02T12:46:46Z http://www.transmissionbt.com http://wakoopa.com/software/transmission http://mallow.wakoopa.com/avatars/000/020/339/normal.png?1240074271 http://mallow.wakoopa.com/avatars/000/020/339/thumb.png?1240074271 4641 The Transmission Project http://wakoopa.com/developers/the-transmission-project Sharing data with others 10 File sharing http://wakoopa.com/categories/internet/file-sharing mac linux Transmission has been built from the ground up to be a lightweight, yet powerful BitTorrent client. Its simple, intuitive interface is designed to integrate tightly with whatever computing environment you choose to use. Transmission strikes a balance between providing useful functionality without feature bloat. Furthermore, it is free for anyone to use or modify. 2009-10-18T20:23:46Z 96277 0 Google Wave isn't all that special. It incorporates a lot of existing technologies, but ultimately it fails in the performance and ease of use departments. It runs horribly on my wife's laptop, both in terms of speed and in layout. The majority of content in the Waves is cut off because it goes too far to the right. There's no left/right scroll bar. The thing is also horrible with going through Playback. It's just so busy that Playback is near worthless. The worst part is that there's no way to lock a Blip in a Wave to prevent someone else from editing it, or from deleting everything in the Wave. It's pretty heavy on resources and makes your fans spin up. I also heard that if you leave it open it starts dragging more and more. This thing is not an e-mail killer. I honestly can't even think of a reason to use it other than to test it out and say I've used Google Wave. 26158161 2009-06-09T14:19:30Z 241405 2146-01-08T00:25:43Z Google Wave 8481 2009-12-02T13:03:26Z http://wave.google.com http://wakoopa.com/software/google-wave http://mallow.wakoopa.com/avatars/000/127/752/normal.png?1249173032 http://mallow.wakoopa.com/avatars/000/127/752/thumb.png?1249173032 10267 Google Inc. http://wakoopa.com/developers/google-inc Communicate with others via chat or instant messengers 5 Messengers & Chat http://wakoopa.com/categories/internet/messengers-chat web A wave is a new communication platform and technology, much like e-mail is today, but so much more. Developed by Google but open-sourced, you can see the preview of this technology in action on Google's wave server, conveniently named Google Wave. It's not a social network, not a web tool, not a proprietary software; but a whole new communication device evolved from e-mail, forums, chat, social sites etc. 2009-06-26T15:42:54Z 70137 0 Regarding the OS X version: Safari 4 has a very clean interface. It's very easy to use and it's very fast. Some of my favorite features are the Top Sites tab, the Snapback to Search Results feature, and the visual history. There are a few plug-ins I miss from Firefox, but it's easy enough to find a few bookmarklets to get around that. Safari just feels like a snappier, faster interface. It definitely starts up faster. Every time I try to go back to Firefox I find myself reopening Safari. 2147483647 2007-05-10T12:32:41Z 10971 2016-08-25T06:27:32Z Safari 19839 2009-12-02T07:10:18Z http://www.apple.com/safari http://wakoopa.com/software/safari http://mallow.wakoopa.com/avatars/000/129/179/normal.png?1249386099 http://mallow.wakoopa.com/avatars/000/129/179/thumb.png?1249386099 14397 Apple Inc. http://wakoopa.com/developers/apple-inc Check what's happening on the web 1 Browsers http://wakoopa.com/categories/internet/browsers mac win It’s a browser.

Works perfectly with Microsoft Windows 7 2009-06-08T19:22:08Z 65594 0 Not a bad search engine, overall. I really enjoy the user interface, especially how the image search results appear in a sort of endless column that you scroll down through. On the other hand, Bing doesn't do adult searches or something that may result in something that's even closely related to an adult search, which can be annoying. Also, it seems to have something against the home page of my blog. Still, I'll keep at it for another few days and then make my final choice between it and going back to Google, but so far, I think I'll be going back to Google. 76421706 2008-10-09T18:25:44Z 151018 2146-01-06T05:08:29Z Bing 28530 2009-11-27T07:58:50Z http://www.bing.com http://wakoopa.com/software/bing http://mallow.wakoopa.com/avatars/000/122/333/normal.png?1248177275 http://mallow.wakoopa.com/avatars/000/122/333/thumb.png?1248177275 13908 Microsoft Corporation http://wakoopa.com/developers/microsoft-corporation Tools that will find what you're looking for online 61 Search Engines http://wakoopa.com/categories/internet/search-engines web Bing is the name of Microsoft's web search engine, and it is designed to be a "decision engine" which is a different approach to compete with traditional search industry leaders Google and Yahoo!. Bing is accessible through "Bing.com" and other Microsoft products such as Windows Live, MSN, Internet Explorer. Bing offers some innovative features, such as the ability to view website information straight from the search result page (instead of clicking through results one by one) and the infinite scroll on image search result, meaning no "next page" is required to click when dealing with very large amount of visual results. 2009-05-23T07:38:50Z 61514 0 This is a really easy to use screen sharing tool. I've used it to help my mom fix problems with her PC so many times! She calls me or IMs me a lot with questions about how to get things done. It's easier to use this and just show her than to talk her through it from memory. 26068299 2007-05-02T13:12:39Z 1209 2019-10-14T02:26:24Z TeamViewer 3642 2009-11-28T14:28:20Z http://www.teamviewer.com/index.aspx http://wakoopa.com/software/teamviewer http://mallow.wakoopa.com/avatars/000/002/513/normal.png?1238515638 http://mallow.wakoopa.com/avatars/000/002/513/thumb.png?1238515638 593 TeamViewer GmbH http://wakoopa.com/developers/teamviewer-gmbh 65 Remote Desktop http://wakoopa.com/categories/utilities/remote-desktop mac win TeamViewer establishes connections to any PC all around the world within just a few seconds.

I was using... something before this, but this is just an incredible application. It's so smooth and easy to use, and once I got it I felt more able to delve into the "Twitterverse."

Besides the real time anti-virus monitoring it monitors changes to your files and alerts you based on your settings. My only complaint is the list you get for suspect files that you have to manually move to your safe file list. It should be more intelligent. Obviously, files that are signed by Microsoft or HP should be trusted automatically. 7828015 2007-05-02T11:10:59Z 723 2019-09-16T16:35:11Z Comodo Internet Security 2004 2009-12-01T11:22:59Z http://personalfirewall.comodo.com http://wakoopa.com/software/comodo-internet-security http://mallow.wakoopa.com/avatars/000/020/239/normal.png?1240054459 http://mallow.wakoopa.com/avatars/000/020/239/thumb.png?1240054459 329 COMODO http://wakoopa.com/developers/comodo 34 Firewalls http://wakoopa.com/categories/security/firewalls win Comodo Internet Security is the free, multi-layered security application that keeps hackers out and personal information in.
