Handy Dandy Applications

There a ton of useful applications spread across the net both online and for downloading, and allot of them are free. I wanted to highlight a couple that I liked in particular:

Yagoohoogle
This site is pretty kewl, so I thought I would highlight it. It allows you to search Yahoo and Google at the same time. It splits the screen in half and has each search engine's results displayed in two seperate sections. Check it out here

YouSendIt
How many times have you wanted to send a file to someone through email, only to have the email bounce back cause the attachement was too large for thier mail server to handle. YouSendIt solves this problem, by letting you upload up to a 1 GB file to their server for retreival by your receipiant. It is totally free and comes in handy when you need to get something to someone remotely. Check it out here.

Skype
Skype is for calling other people on their computers or phones. Download Skype and start calling for free all over the world. Check it out here.

IRCSpy
Allows one to browse any number of IRC channels for goodies. Check it out here.
