Download Yahoo Messenger with Voice: IM Phone Calling Card

The era of International Calling Cards will soon become passé as Yahoo! today launched a web-based long distance phone service that will rival eBay's Skype, current internet telephony market leader.

With the new Yahoo Messenger 7.5, your friends and family members worldwide can call your computer from any conventional landline or mobile phone (Yahoo Phone In). You can also call any phone number from your PC via Yahoo IM client (Yahoo Phone Out)

Yahoo! subscribers get a personal phone number (with any city area code) for receiving incoming calls to their PC from regular phone lines and mobile phones. So even if you are located in New York city, you can still choose a number with San Francisco area code.

Yahoo! Messenger PC-to-PC calls remain free and there are a couple of other interesting free enhancements to these services, including a new Contact Search Bar within the interface and free voicemail (for both PC-to-PC calls and Phone In calls).

MSN is also testing a PC-to-phone service. AOL says it will have PC-to-phone calling available later this year. All IM services like Yahoo, Skype, AIM, MSN Messenger and Google Talk offer PC-to-PC VoIP calls for free.

How to Download Contacts from Facebook To Outlook Address Book

Facebook users are not too pleased with the "walled garden" approach of Facebook. The reason is simple - while you can easily import your Outlook address book and GMail contacts into Facebook, the reverse path is closed. There's no "official" way to export your Facebook friends email addresses or contact phone numbers out as a CSV file so that you can sync the contacts data with Outlook, GMail or your BlackBerry. Some third-party Facebook hacks like "Facebook Sync" (for Mac) and "Facebook Downloader" (for Windows) did allow you to download your Facebook friends' names, emails, mobile phone number and profile photo to the desktop but they were quickly removed for violation of Facebook Terms of Use. How to Download Contacts from Facebook There are still some options to take Friends data outside the walls of Facebook wall. Facebook offers the Takeout option allowing you to download all Facebook data locally to the disk (include

PhishTank Detects Phishing Websites by Digg Style Voting

OpenDNS, a free service that helps anyone surf the Internet faster with a simple DNS tweak , will announce PhishTank today. PhishTank is a free public database of phishing URLs where anyone can submit their phishes via email or through the website. The submissions are verified by the other community members who then vote for the suspected site. This is such a neat idea as sites can be categorized just based on user feedback without even having to manually verify each and every submission. PhishTank employs the "feedback loop" mechanism where users will be kept updated with the status' of the phish they submit either via email alerts or a personal RSS feed . Naturally, once the PhishTank databases grows, other sites can harness the data using open APIs which will remain free. OpenDNS would also use this data to improve their existing phishing detection algorithms which are already very impressive and efficient. PhishTank | PhishTank Blog [Thanks Allison] Related: Google
