Using Remember the Milk’s smart lists [Hack Your Day]
One of the best features in Remember the Milk is the smart list, which is essentially a search option, but your searches can be saved permanently. Normally you would want to save a search because you perform them often, but in Remember the Milk there are more benefits.

Flock - Productive social browsing [Hack Your Day]
I finally decided to give Flock, a Mozilla based browser a go, and I’m very, very happy with the results so far. You can reap most of the benefits if you’re into social sites like Youtube, Del.icio.us and the bunch, but even if you’re not, it’s basically Firefox, so you can’t really go wrong.

Stop IM spam in Pidgin [Hack Your Day]
