Recently when the alpha version of CHIKKA web messenger was released i tried using it when i’m at work since the client is block on our office from making a connection. The alpha version looked really cool and works fine except sometimes it hangs on my firefox browser and i’m not sure if its a bug of CHIKKA or FireFox. Then just today, i saw that there’s a new CHIKKA web messenger and its the CHIKKA v2.0 called X-Messenger and looks way much cooler and works better than the previous release. Though it doesn’t have much features yet and only have the usual CHIKKA texting and the inter-IM connectivity. But hey, its really nice, easy, and cool to use :)

Krispy Kreme

Just this morning when i went in our office’s pantry, i saw a pile of Krispy Kreme boxes on one table. It reminded me of my Krispy Kreme Original Glazed Doughnuts cravings.. sheez… here i am again craving for those yummy soft donuts. I’ve never been a fan of donuts, really. But only one donut company made me want it - not Gonuts Donut, not Dunkin Donut, not Mister Donut, and not any other donut …. only Krispy Kreme Doughnuts! hehe. Back when it first opened here in the Philippines, we had to send some helpers to order donuts for us. From company-wide meetings to our own sub team meetings, we had our share of Krispy Kreme. Good thing more branches are now opening and one latest store at the Mall of Asia. oh well.. for this month they have the Krispy Kreme’s New Holiday Doughnuts for a “kremey” holiday experience! … looks like i’ve gonna grab some this weekend… yum yum!

PinoyTwitters

I just found out about Twitter a month ago and i really got into it. I don’t know but all of a sudden i had this Twitter Fever. haha. And so, i put up PinoyTwitters to satisfy my craving for more twits. If before i enjoyed spending my time browsing forums and reading blogs, this time i find myself reading what others has to twit about and have myself twit too. I think its really fun and well it seems like a stress reliever for me. Anytime i wanted to say something, i just twit it up not really caring if anyone would be reading it and yet if someone replies its feels nice. I twit on my computer or on my phone. There’s lotsa ways to do it. I just usually do it the fastest or the easiest or the cheapest way .. depending on the situation :)

Follow me and i’ll follow you back: Kuting

Instant Messengers I Like

I never fail to use instant messengers. Its already part of my social and internet life. I do have the Yahoo messenger and Chikka messenger installed on my computer and the YehBA* messenger on my phone. I never liked using softwares that integrates most IMs because i prefer using them alone and being able to use their full features. I use these IMs most of the time and its good that most of my contacts are accessible already incase i’m using only one. When i’m at the office, we only use MSN there. Its good that i can access my YM thru MSN, inside my YahooMail, thru Yahoo WebMessenger, thru Chikka WebMessenger or thru YehBA* on my phone. I don’t have to install YM and Chikka anymore on my office PC. I can also now just go to Chikka webmessenger if i want to send free sms on any computer while i can chat on YehBA* and still be able to connect to my YM and MSN with it on my phone when i’m on the go.

I like the new Chikka web messenger. I tried it and well i’m very much impressed. I like its layout, looks pretty cool to me and its ad-free. It is feature-packed allowing you to send free sms (no need to install the Chikka client on your PC!), download free stuffs for your mobile and connect to your IMs like yahoo, msn, aim, gtalk, icq and more to come.. all in your browser! I’ve been using Chikka before to send free sms to my friends when i’m on the computer. Its been very useful to me and i just love it. And now with the new chikka web messenger, i don’t need to have it installed on the PC, i can now use chikka on any computer. I can do my usual texting plus chat on my other IMs too with it :)  See my post on Chikka X-Messenger.

But if you are a an avid Yahoo Messenger user like me and want most of YM’s features especially the part where you can chat with your MSN friends through YM, you can use the Yahoo web messenger. It has most if not all the features of the regular YM client. It has a simple and easy to use layout. Just don’t mind the huge banner ad on the side.And if you still prefer the YM client, check out the new YM version 9. Though in beta stage, i tried it already and i could say i love YM still :)

For those who prefer chatting on their phone, i would recommend using YehBA* IM. Its easy and cheaper to use than any other mobile IMs out there. Plus its more Filipino-oriented that’s why i feel at home using it, meeting fellow Filipinos on the chatrooms and allows free/cheap international texting. It also has some cool mobile services which you can use. I’ve been using this for two months and i really love it. I can chat, text, and even connect to my YM and MSN messenger accounts in it. I can also update my Twitter with it. Its cheap and easy to use and very useful especially when i’m on the go.
