I am sure that I find something new to use every few months with Google. They have such a massive resource of amazing web applications to use. My latest ones that I’m becoming quite fond of are Google Reader and Google Talk.
This is a handy little application that allows you to add all of your web sites into, such as favourites and then it will tell you when they are up-dated, and how many up-dates there are. So instead of having to troll through of your favourites, you just click on one website, and then you can also read them within Google Reader. It halves the time I spend going through my favourites, making me think “geeze theres nothing on the internet, just like TV.” 
Skype may have the strong hold on computer video chatting but it can be pretty messy. Google also have their version Google Talk attached to Gmail, and you can do audio or video calls PC to PC for free. It is much clearer, and more reliable connection than using Skype. I will be thrashing this in the UK!
