I hope you did your laundry, because today is No Pants Day. A tradition started in Austin, Texas (no doubt a part of the "Keep Austin Weird" conspiracy), its goal is simply to "revel in the absence of pants." (And, no, kilts don't count.) Before you hit the town in your bloomers, have a look at how we did it one leg at a time this week:
- del.icio.us gets foxy: Firefox users just got a del.icio.us treat — a new Firefox extension that fully supports Firefox 3 (while working just fine with Firefox 2, thank you). Its handy features include keyboard shortcuts for accessing bookmarks (just hit F2) and a new bookmark-saving layout. It's a beta release, so the team is eager to hear if you have feedback before the official launch. More here.
- YT? Can you hear this?: Got Vista? Check. Got Yahoo! Messenger? Check. Now you can make PC-to-PC calls to your Yahoo! Messenger pals, or even dial landlines and mobile phones. Just for fun, you can even animate your voices as you talk. The all-new voice-enabled beta version of Yahoo! Messenger for Vista also lets you SMS your friends' mobile phones for free. The team's been busy adding features you've been requesting, and now they're setting their sights on webcam video, archiving, photo sharing, and more. Hang in there with them. Download the new version here.
