+As we mentioned in the ever-prescient morning reboot, AOL has announced version 6.0 of their popular instant messaging service. New features include the ability to send messages to offline users, increased buddy list size (now 1000 buddies), grouped chat windows and more.
+The increase in buddy list size brings AIM up to speed with other popular IM services such as those from Yahoo and Microsoft.
+Other features include a new "dashboard" which AOL says will make it easier for users to access mobile features like the new IM forwarding. IM forwarding allows you to have messages sent while you are offline forwarded to your mobile device.
+AIM 6.0 also adds further integration with the new "AIM Pages," AOL's blogging and social networking feature. You can subscribe to your buddies page (via RSS) and receive updates in your instant messenger.
+Some news reports have mentioned that the subscription abilities extend beyond AOL's limited offerings to include sites such as YouTube, Digg and Flickr, but I couldn't find anything about that on the AIM website.
+The AIM service remains a lone wolf when it comes to interoperability. Unlike Windows Live Messenger and Yahoo Messenger, which both allow you to chat with members of either service, AIM is a closed system. 
+AOL says it is in talks with Google about the possibility of linking AIM with Google Talk. Presumably this would function somewhat like the way AIM works with ICQ or Apple's iChat.
+AOL has provided an new open SDK for developers so those of us who use the AIM service but not the the client program can expect to see third party developers incorporate the new features soon.
+The AIM 6.0 client is thus far Windows only and requires either 2000 or XP.

+A post from the founder [LibraryThing on the tech blog Mashable][1] caught my eye this morning. [LibraryThing][3] has a new couple of new search features that seem promising so I thought I'd have a look.
+I use LibraryThing to grab book covers for display on my blog, but I've never really tinkered with the site too much. However the new feature "UnSuggester" sounded interesting.
+But let's start with LibraryThing's "BookSuggester." LibraryThing claims to have 7.1 million books and over 9.5 million user generated tags in it's database. The new BookSuggester feature combs through those books to find things you might like, based on the title of a book you know you like.
+The obvious question is why use this over Amazon's recommended books feature? Well for one thing, Amazon's results are included so you get those plus more. LibraryThing also offers more results and separates them into tag-based results and actual humans-have-read-and-liked results.
+At the top of each results page there's an intriguing link for Library Thing's other new search feature, called "UnSuggest" which offers "bad" recommendations.
+[UnSuggester][2] is a recommendation engine turned on its head. Instead of telling you what you'd like based on what you already like, UnSuggester tells you what you wouldn't like based on what you like.
+At first I thought it was a kind of funny, one-off feature that you play with for half an hour and forget about. After all, I don't need a search engine to tell me that a love of Immanuel Kant probably precludes a deep affinity for *Confessions of a Shopaholic*.
+But then I started thinking about something Robert Anton Wilson writes about a lot: expanding your reality tunnel. 
+Based on the Unsuggester search results you can force expose yourself to other things that might otherwise pass quietly by you. The potential for new discoveries is actually much greater with negative suggestions than it ever will be with those that cater to your mold.
+With the tunnel narrowing features like selective RSS news feeds and niche base social networks popping up everyday, it's become relatively easy to hear only what you already know you want to hear. UnSuggester can be refreshing chance to expose yourself to books outside your usual preference. And who knows, maybe I would like *Confessions of a Shopaholic.*

+*	A phenomenon called "evanescent coupling" could [allow for wireless power sources][1]. The technology uses resonant frequencies to transfer energy without wires over a distance of several meters. So far the idea is just on paper, but the MIT scientists involved say they are working on a prototype, which frankly, would be the coolest thing since the wireless remote.
+*	Apparently [Zune is incompatible with Windows Vista][2]. Yes, as other have said that's ridiculous, but to be fair, Vista hasn't been released yet. If Vista is released and it still isn't compatible, then you can start jeering.
+*	[AOL announces version 6 of its popular AIM messaging service][3]. Among some of the cool new features is the ability to forward IMs to you phone when you're offline so you can see what you missed.
+*	[iTWire reports][4] that cellphone company BoostMobile has launched "a cellphone-based social networking service that enables users to plot the location of their friends on a map." No word on the accuracy of the service.
+*	And finally, news of the strange kind: [YouTube sent a cease-and-desist letter][5] to the popular tech blog, TechCrunch.

+[Yamipod][6] is the only tool out of the bunch that supports all three major operating systems. It's also free. Yamipod can transfer songs to and from our iPod and offers a good range of options for how to handle duplicates.
+In addition, Yamipod will find and remove duplicate files on your iPod, though as with this feature in iTunes you have to be careful since you may have live versions and other "duplicates" that you want to keep.
+Yamipod also offer some extra features not found in the other programs including the ability to create playlists, send information to last.fm, growl notifications and add lyrics to your iPod.
+There's also a feature in Yamipod that I haven't seen elsewhere called "Find Lost Music," which will recover songs on your iPod but not listed in the library. I don't know how that happens and Yamipod didn't find any such files on my iPod, but if you've ever had music disappear from your library, Yamipod might be able to recover them.
+Yamipod is a universal binary and was one of the fastest applications tested on my Macbook. 
+Stay tuned for a wrap up later this week.
+####The Lowdown
+**Good**
+*	Can sync iTunes to iPod with one click
+*	Nice additional features
+*	Supports all major operating systems
+**Bad**
+*	Some problems with video iPod and iTunes 7 (see Yamipod forums)
