Skabble :Chat with the fellow visitors to Sites you visit
Skabble is an innovative application that let’s you chat with the visitors of the sites you are currently browsing. It will let you chat with only those people who have Skabble installed on their systems too, well that’s pretty obvious. It’s a downloadable application and yes it’s absolutely free to use.
Not only the exact websites, but skabble also lets you chat live with the other skabble users who are browsing similar themed sites, like if you have interest in sports websites then it will let you talk with the other people who also like sports websites. So, it’s about interests matching.
Skabble has good support to audio and video, that makes it a killer application. The only thing I didn’t like is the downloadable application, they should bring out web based widgets too. Let’s see if we get hold of their web-based services any time soon.
One more thing, the application completely safe to download and use on your pc, it’s spyware and malware free. You can check their website at Skabble.com

Google Talk and Yahoo Messenger getting connected
Yahoo! and Google have announced that they will integrate their instant messaging services - Yahoo Messenger and Google Talk respectively. The announcement was done along with the big announcement of their Non-Exclusive Search Advertisement Deal.
We users are going to love it. Everyone knows that maintaining so many accounts with having so many messenger clients is a pain. Integration between Google talk (Gtalk) and Yahoo messenger will allow anyone to cross-talk between the two instant messaging clients, that means, a person sitting on Google Talk will be able to talk directly with a person on Yahoo Messenger, and of course vice versa. Sounds cool!
We already have Yahoo Messenger + Windows Live Messenger
It’s not the first time that two IM Giants getting into a same bed. We earlier saw a very similar agreement between Microsoft’s Windows Live Messenger and Yahoo Messenger. It was a superhit among users. I myself is using the inter-connectivity quite heavily.
Don’t forget Google Talk + AOL Instant Messenger
Sometime ago, Google also tied with AOL to let the Google talk (Chat in Google) users to link their AIM screen-name, which lets you connect to you AIM buddies while you on Google Talk.
Let’s see how much time does it take to inter-operate between Yahoo Messenger and Google Talk. Users are happy, what else.
