I also must note the scheduled announcements, launches, and demos on Friday afternoon. They’ve got 10 minutes (or less) to show us what they’ve got. We figured this was a great way for you to discover a few new tools – and actually watch them being used rather than reading written reviews:

• WetPaint – Launching!
• Bluedot.us – Launching!
• SecondLife – Demystification!
• Pixsy – Announcement!
• Farecast – Blogification!
• Melodeo – Announcement!

And now, for something completely different.

Use Optimize 3.0 to clear out your registry, and get rid of pesky errors that can threaten the stability of your machine. It's also easy to use to kill off unneeded processes that may be hogging up your memory - and will help speed up your boot times.
