dotMSN - .NET MSN Messenger library

dotMSN - .NET MSN Messenger library:

"dotMSN is a class library to make use of the MSN Messenger Service. The library is built in C# and can therefore be used by all languages the .NET environment supports. The library is easy to use because of a clean object oriented approach which is offered by a modern language like C#. You can use this library for example to create MSN bots or for use in already existing applications who need to communicate through the Messenger service."

Cool...

Bloglines | Free, Web-Based News Aggregator

Bloglines | Free, Web-Based News Aggregator

Officially "Darn Cool"...

A free web based RSS reader. I've been using it now for about a month and I really like it.

Maybe doesn't have all the bells that a full client RSS reader, but it does the job for me.

One feature that finally really sold me is it's ability to hook up emails to my subscriptions.

The site gives you an unlimited number of free email addresses. Each address is added as a subscription... So want to get a mailing list? This is the perfect place to do it...
