Windows/Mac/Linux (All platforms): Freeware Voice-over-IP (VoIP) application Gizmo Project makes phone calls from your PC similar to the popular Skype. Like when we first mentioned Gizmo Project, it still boasts several excellent features like voice integration with other Gizmo Project users as well as Google Talk, Windows Live and Yahoo Messenger users, support for AIM and MSN chat, and a free call-in number—making it sort of a kitchen sink version of Skype.The latest version of Gizmo Project supports video chat (though it’s not as high quality as Skype), an improved interface, and several worthwhile fixes. If you’ve tried Skype but you’re looking for more functionality and integration with other communication standards, Gizmo Project is worth a go. If you’ve been using Gizmo Project since we first mentioned it, let us know how it’s working for you in the comments. The current beta is Windows only, but will presumably support Mac and Linux soon.
