			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Storing and sharing files in the cloud may perhaps be the cutting edge of office processes, but there are still a lot of people concerned about security to consider the way of the cloud. This is understandable, especially for non-tech individuals who are not familiar about how cloud computing works. Fortunately, Dialawg is a web app that focuses on security and exchanging confidential information in a seamless interface.</p>
<p><img src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/dir/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/1015.png?570cd5" alt="communication dashboard" /></p>
<p>Dialawg allows you to send documents with messaging and real time chat behind a layer of enterprise-grade security. It supports file revisions, useful for multiple parties who are going over a contract. It is also useful during negotiations online if both parties want to ensure that no third-party can snoop in on these chats. Compare Word documents through your dashboard, set up a contact form, and even drag and drop files.</p>
<p>Dialawg&#8217;s strongest features are the ability to self-destruct your account, edit your messages and files until read by participants, and confirmation once the message is read. It also has an iPhone and iPad app so that you can bring your business anywhere.</p>
<p><img src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/dir/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/1024.png?570cd5" alt="dialawg" /></p>
<p>Dialawg offers free and paid options depending on the amount of storage and additional features you want for your account. This app is useful for lawyers, doctors, accountants, project managers, or anyone who take security much more seriously.</p>
<p>Features:</p>
<ul>
<li>Store your files and dialogs on the web securely.</li>
<li>Schedule self-destruction of files and accounts.</li>
<li>Confirms if files and messages are read and sent.</li>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It can be quite time wasting to keep shifting from your web browser window to your instant messaging client&#8217;s window. But because of BuddyFox you can now seamlessly integrate instant messaging with web surfing, without any window switching.</p>
<p><img src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/dir/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/buddyfox.png?570cd5" alt="firefox instant messaging" /></p>
<p>BuddyFox is a browser addon for Mozilla Firefox. Once installed in your browser, it acts as an instant messaging client. On the addon&#8217;s installation page you have to sign up for an account and then click on the activation link which you are emailed. After activation, click on the addon&#8217;s icon in the bottom right of Firefox and login to your BuddyFox account.</p>
<p>A window at the bottom of your webpage will pull up. This is BuddyFox&#8217;s section. Here you can see other BuddyFox friends and communicate with them without having to move away from your then open webpage.</p>
<p>The addon does not offer extensive features; the addon only wants to serve the essential need of chatting alongside web surfing and it does that excellently.</p>
<p><img src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/dir/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/buddyfox1.png?570cd5" alt="browser based instant messaging client" /></p>
<p>Features:</p>
<ul>
<li>Mozilla Firefox browser based instant messaging client.</li>
<li>Integrates chatting and web surfing.</li>
<li>You will no longer have to waste time switching from window to window.</li>
<li>It can leave offline messages.</li>
<li>You can drag&#8217;n'drop text into message windows.</li>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Kakomessenger is a cool and very simple fun tool which lets you send short text messages in the form of a song sung by one of the two singers- Gina and Humphrey at the kakomessenger site. It&#8217;s like a site for sendig funny voice messages but you get to decide what the message will be.</p>
<p>To start with, you can select one of the two singers and then type your message in the box. Once you are done, hit play and check out the resulting funny song. You can then replay it or modify it. Once you are sure it sounds good, email it to the person whom you&#8217;d like to listen to that song composed from your message.</p>
<p><img src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/dir/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/kakomessenger.png?570cd5" alt="funny voice messages" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-5493" /></p>

<p>I think this service could be best used by love birds for conveying messages to each other, especially when they aren&#8217;t talking to each other for some or the other reason. Argue with your girlfiend, send her a singing telegram and melt the hardest heart.  <img src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/dir/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif?570cd5" alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>BuddyUpdates is a cool service from AOL which lets you stay up to date with your AIM buddies&#8217; status updates in various other social networking sites like twitter, delicious, Facebook, MySpace and many other sites. It covers almost all the main social media sharing networks.</p>
<p>When you visit the website it allows you to download a plugin for your AIM messenger which further facilitates the process of checking your friends&#8217; updates within your AIM chat window.  The updates appear as alerts in your chat window and you can read them instantly or at a later time.</p>
<p><img src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/dir/images/buddy-updates.png?570cd5" alt="status messages" /></p>
<p>We have seen such features in multi-protocol IM clients like <a href="http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/pidgin-tips-and-tricks/">Pidgin</a> and <a href="http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/why-im-digging-digsby/">Digsby</a> but this time it has been introduced by AOL itself and hence AIM fans need not rely on third party products or log on to other sharing sites again and again to check their friends updates.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Online instant messaging service that lets you access several IM programs (MSN Messenger, Yahoo Messenger, AIM and Gtalk) from a single webpage.

<p>Features:</p>
<ul
        <li>Supported clients: MSN Messenger, Yahoo Messenger, AIM and Gtalk.</li>
<li>IM messages can&#8217;t be printed, coped, saved or print screened.</li>

Simply add relevant Vicito ID to your IM buddy list and tell it (1) what keywords you want it to track, (2) how frequently it should check for latest news and (3) the max. number of stories for each update. While I am not really fond of the idea of getting news to my chat client, the option to filter news by keywords makes it rather compelling.</p>
