Interesting things to do with MSN, AIM, and Yahoo Messenger

[ki4jgt]

I am getting a ZipIt Z2 and was wondering if I could do some interesting things with it besides chat 24/7. I know they have a Linux distro for it and It offers sms, but I wanted to know if there were any interesting things I could do with the messaging providers. Like setup a relay to search Google, or something else to that effect. I know to search Google all you have to do is text 466453. Anyway the services are sms, AIM, MSN and Yahoo. The dullest IM choices I've ever seen.

Here is a link (http://www.hak5.org/mod/unlocking-linux-on-the-zipit-z2-a-50-hacktop) to an episode of Hak5 where they install Debian, X and Pidgin on a Z2, and if I remember correctly Darren (presenter) says he installed Doom on his Zipit! It also says "The Z2 also has potential for emulators, video streaming and more."

Note: Hak5 (http://hak5.org) is a cool video webcast about all sorts of hackerish and tech-head stuff. I watch it regularly and recommend it wholeheartedly to anyone with such interests.
