Anyone who listens to the radio over the internet knows that while it’s certainly possible, it’s not a particularly smooth and user-friendly experience. ‘Radio? Sure!’ (that name should give you an idea of the goals of this program) creates a nice little portable interface (no installation necessary, meaning that it can easily be used on a public or work computer) that catalogues over 12,000 radio stations that are available online, and makes it extremely easy to find, play, and even record them. There are customisation options, enabling you to add any new stations or change the look of the player.
Over the past 14 years I’ve used quite a few web browsers (from Netscape to Internet Explorer, to Opera, and even settled for a while on the little known Avant), but it wasn’t until I started using Firefox 3 in June last year that I didn’t want to change. The best thing about Firefox is that with its myriad extensions, the ability to tailor it exactly to your requirements is phenomenal. Add to that, the “awesome bar” (a combination address/bookmark/history lookup field) and you’ll wonder how you ever worked with anything else. It’s the perfect combination of features and customisation.
Here’s a question for anyone that uses Microsoft Outlook 2003; how annoyed are you by the lack of a legitimate search tool? That’s where Xobni (it’s ‘inbox’ backwards) can help. It sits in a sidebar, and once it’s done its initial scan, you’ve got practically instant search functionality by keyword, name, date, or even attachment. It also gives you the threaded conversation layout that Gmail has spoiled us with for so long. I would give it full marks, but sometimes it can be a bit of a resource hog; although that aspect has been vastly improved in the latest release.
