Feed the Hungry, Learn New Words.
Saturday, February 23rd, 2008In honor of the 500 millionth download of its browser, Mozilla Firefox is encouraging people from around the world to donate 500 million grains of rice at FreeRice.com.
It’s free for you to do. All you do is visit FreeRice.com and learn new vocabulary! There’s no money involved…all you do is play the word game and with every word you get right, 10 grains of rice are donated. It’s kind of addictive to tell you the truth…so GO HAVE FUN and DO SOMETHING GOOD today!

Want to make free calls from your computer?
Friday, February 22nd, 2008Apparently so do Skype users!! According to the Skype blog, Skype has served 100 billion minutes worth of Skype-to-Skype calls!
This is a huge milestone for Skype and I am very happy to hear it!! Why? Because Skype is a great way for individuals and businesses to call other Skype users for free using their computer. I have Skype, my company has Skype, my friends have Skype…and you should too!
Read more about Skype and download their free software. You will find just how easy it is, and it can help save you money.

Mozilla Thunderbird is Growing Up
Tuesday, February 19th, 2008Thunderbird is growing up and I am very excited about it!! According to a recent press release by Mozilla:
Mozilla Messaging, the new mail focused subsidiary of the non-profit Mozilla Foundation, today announced that it has begun operations.
The initial focus for Mozilla Messaging is the development of Thunderbird 3, which will deliver significant improvements, notably integrated calendaring, better search and enhancements to the overall user experience. Thunderbird is a free, open source email application that is used by millions of people around the world and is built using the same open source development model as the award-winning Mozilla Firefox Web browser.
DOWNLOAD THUNDERBIRD 2 FOR FREE
For anyone who wants the BEST, FREE email program on the web…you have to check out Mozilla Thunderbird. I’ve been using it for years now and have loved every minute of it. It’s fast, easy, secure and has the ability to add extra extensions to personalize your email program.
FYI - Thunderbird is created by Mozilla, the same people who bring us my favorite web browser, Firefox.
In the meantime, I will be waiting anxiously for Thunderbird 3!! Screenshot of the new website for Mozilla Messaging below.
