This is a great lightweight web app (web 2.0) for creating chat windows on your web pages. It’s a barebones chat environment, but it gets the job done for simple and easy in-browser communication. And, the best part is that it’s free — as in lunch.

It seems that the market is generally quite volatile these days. Apple’s iPhone has had a good response from consumers and the projections for sales in 2008 are quite hopeful. iPod sales are still strong, and even Mac sales (iMac) aren’t too shabby.

My advice: Invest your money in AAPL and then take a 6-month vacation from watching the numbers. It will benefit both your heart and your pocketbook.
