not bad for an ASP “… privately held Salesforce has 2,800 companies that pay it to manage about 50,000 people worldwide, and it is on track to record some $25 million in revenue this year. “The quality of our revenue is special because it’s an annuity, so we know within 1 [percent] to 2 percent what we’ll have in revenue next month,” he says.

Trillian IM

Trillian is an IM client, which currently supports AOL IM, ICQ, MSN

using it for a week it feels more stable than any Jabber client I’ve used
and worth the download if you need to cross-IM with people. (sorry dave, no
mac client ;-)
