If you use an instant messaging client, give IMSmarter a try…assuming your company firewall lets you set up a proxy. Adding no software to your computer, IMSmarter logs your IM conversations so you can refer back to them later. Coder David Weekly gives this example of IMSmarter’s value in an Engadget interview:

It?s 4pm; you?re at work and you remember you were going to meet your buddy for dinner tonight, but you?ve forgotten where. He?s not online, but you had IMmed with him last night from home to discuss where you?d meet up. Without IM Smarter, you?d be screwed—with IM Smarter you just log in to the web site, click on your buddy?s name, and see the chat you had last night.
