1. Chat one, chat all

Chatting was meant to be fun, and it shouldn't be otherwise. But with friends scattered all over Yahoo!, MSN, ICQ, IRC and AIM, you should get a cross-platform messaging client that can help you manage all your accounts from a single chat application. With Trillian, importing your existing contacts from the other messaging services is child's play. Once you've done this, you'll find that it offers access to the most useful features from each of the top IMs-without making it too confusing to configure. Add to this features such as proxy and firewall support and auto archiving of chat conversations, and Trillian makes the top of the charts in the multi-platform messenger category. All this for free.

2. Scour the Web

Searching the Net for relevant information can sometimes be frustrating. Enter Copernic, a powerful search suite which combines the power of the best search engines. The Basic edition of Copernic 2001 is a free download that lets you locate information across seven search categories (Web, newsgroups, e-mail, etc) and 80 information resources, which is more than enough for most of us. It also keeps track of all your searches in the recent past, which can be useful for reference purposes. Browser integration allows you to highlight a term and search it with Copernic's search engine. So the next time you need to round up a Web trip, take a ride on Copernic.

4. Document reader

A lot of useful information such as manuals, documents and whitepapers are created primarily for print. Adobe's PDF (Portable Document Format) is the most popular format for distributing print documents electronically. To read documents prepared using Adobe's Acrobat software, you will need the free Acrobat Reader software. The latest release, version 5.0, will integrate smoothly with your browser and allow you to view PDF documents online without downloading them to your machine, or save it locally if you choose to. With the ability to zoom documents, navigate using previously created bookmarks, and select text and graphics, this is clearly the best PDF viewer so far.
