JAJAH dials the phone for you (and saves you some money)
So last week when I posted Plaxo dials the phone for you, I didn't realize that the JAJAH-powered service is actually available Plaxo-free, in the form of a web service or Firefox extension. In case you missed the Plaxo post, what JAJAH does when you enter a friend's telephone number is call your phone, then when you pick up, dial their phone number. This would be unremarkable except for the fact that through the power of VoIP, JAJAH will cost you a fraction of what a normal long-distance or international call would. For example, long-distance calls within the U.S. cost less than two cents per minute, and a call from the U.S. to Japan costs a little more than three cents per minute. That ain't bad, and is decidedly more simple to set up (and explain to your grandmother) than, say, Skype. At the JAJAH web site you can get a free five-minute trial without having to sign up for anything and Mozilla Update has the extension that adds JAJAH to your Firefox search box.
So, just how good at time waster games are you? Think you've got the stuff? Well, The World's Hardest Game 2.0 doesn't think you do.

It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place. That is, until I tried the game.
The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...

We have developed a Desktop phone buddy for Jajah, which will take the currently selected number in a windows application and dial the number using a hot key, plus redial and quick dial functionality.
