You can start today by installing and using the Mahalo Firefox AddOn which you can even configure it to dual / triple / quad post to del.icio.us (and many other social bookmarking sites) at the same time for full future-proofing your efforts !

For example I've made my start @ :

FON and BT have partnered to create the BT FON Community to cover the entire U.K. with hundreds of thousands of BT FON hotspots. FON, the world’s largest Wi-Fi Community, and BT is one of the leading broadband providers in the world, and the birth of our BT FON Community means something uniquely special for broadband users in the U.K. and all over the world.

FON has now been integrated in BT and now more than more than 3 million Total Broadband customers are invited to join the enormous global community of people sharing their WiFi. FON equity investors include Excite, Google & Skype amongst others !

VOIP over Wi-Fi has now arrived in the UK as a viable mobile phone alternative !

Yuuguu is a tool that lets you see, share and take control of each other’s computer screens and applications.

Yuuguu also lets you speak to and message individuals and groups whilst you screen share so it feels like you're together in the same room.

Yuuguu shows you when your workmates and friends are online too, so you can switch them ‘on’ when you want them, and ‘off’ when you don’t.

World Community Grid's mission is to create the largest public computing grid benefiting humanity. Our work is built on the belief that technological innovation combined with visionary scientific research and large-scale volunteerism can change our world for the better. Our success depends on individuals - like you - collectively contributing their unused computer time to this not-for-profit endeavor.

This month a Fonero can refer three friends to get a FON for €/$ 20

There are three kinds of Fonero:

• Aliens are people who don’t share their WiFi yet and are charged €/$ 3 for a Day Pass to access the FON Community.
• Bills are Foneros who, instead of free roaming, get to make money from their FON Access Point.
• Linuses share their WiFi at home and in return get free WiFi wherever they find a FON Access Point.

One of my del.icio.us contacts has just posted a link to Yahoo!'s new service exclusively for teachers !

I;ve just plugged in my FON and turned it on then ran wi-fi radar and discovered there's now a choice of eight access points in my house.

WiFi-Radar

You can install WiFi Radar from Ed/X/Ubuntu apt/aptitude/synaptic or get a tarball from wifi-radar.systemimager.

Let's hope they are operating on different channels (there are only 11 aren't there)

Anyhow I connected and logged onto FON_AP
