Yahoo! Messenger 11

Yahoo! Messenger, to date, is by-far one of the most used applications in any computer and one of the easiest means of communication. And after a while now, Yahoo! is going to release version 11. But for now, we'll have to do with the BETA. YES. The beta version of the 11th version of Yahoo is out.

Like it's number 1 competition, The Live Messenger, the new version is focused on the bigger picture of the social network and social messaging.

One of the latest additions is the support for Facebook and Twitter Chat support! You can even link your accounts so statuses and posts are synced! Also, social gaming options have been added to the list of new features. Mafiar Wars and Fishville are on the list! 

Windows 7 users will be happy to know that they can change status, send messages, and sign in and out via Messenger 11's jump list.

Smart Communications new handsets and plans

Smart Communications is currently holding a 3-day event. It started Yesterday and is ending tomorrow, November 21, at The New Eastwood City Mall Ground Floor Lobby.

If you missed it or can't make it tomorrow, don't worry. They're holding another 3 day event at the PowerPlant Mall on December 3-5. They're using the event to introduce the Samsung Galaxy Tab, The Blackberry Torch and the HTC 7 Mozart.

They're the latest handsets from each Samsung, Blackberry and HTC respectively.

The Galaxy Tab is a 7inch Internet Tablet. The Torch is a Full touch screen with a vertical qwerty slide out and the HTC 7 is a full touch screen running the latest Mobile OS from Microsoft.

Here is Smart’s pricing plan for the HTC Mozart
