Multimedia

People want to be constantly available these days,
causing new technologies to emerge
every single day...

Many new services and technologies are emerging on the net. Wireless applications are becoming commonplace and an increasing number of people have access to broadband. Chatting and filesharing are just two ways to enhance your internet experience. How about podcasting, news feeds and web monitoring? Instead of surfing to a website to check for new stuff, these tools will notify you whenever there's an update available. Another cool new technology is Voice Over IP (VOIP), which lets you use your computer as a phone.

Best Streaming Video Recorder
CamStudio

Runner-up:
Wink

The most effective streaming video recorders are actually applications that record the pixels on your screen as they move. So they're completely unhampered by video codecs, recording security measures and the like. Most of them allow you to record a region of your screen or follow your mouse cursor around as you record (auto-pan feature).

Frontrunners are FrontCam, Screen Rec, Wink and CamStudio, with this last one taking the cake.

List of Lists
This one's been around for a long time, but has been kept perfectly up to date and is one of the most comprehensive resources out there.

Pricelessware
The communities from the alt.comp.freeware newsgroups compile a new list of "the best of the best" every year. Started in 2000, I've been following it ever since and it became one of my all-time favorite resources.

No Nags
The folks at Nonags put together a large collection of 32-bit Windows software that has no disabled features, nags, time limits, or any other tricks. I usually check this one if the others come up empty.
