Ian's (almost) daily recap of what spikes my interest

This is really cool stuff. Connectotel has created a SMS gateway interface for Skype that allows your to bypass having to peck the message on your mobile. Instead you're able to send text messages from your skype window. For those of you who don't know what Skype is, you're probably living in the United States, for this Instant Messaging/VoIP client has got to be the one of the best ways to take full advantage of that $40/month broadband connection you've got piping into your home. Our friends in Europe have been saving cash for months now! Just download this bit of software onto your computer (mac support available too) and you're off and running making free phone calls, albeit speaking through your computer, to other Skype users. Purchase a few euro worth of talk credits, and you're able to place phone calls to land line users at very attractive rates (1.7 euro cents a minute to the US and Europe)! This service also lets you instant message with other users and now, using Connectotel, send SMS to mobile phones around the world..
