Language Translation in your IM client
There is a new program to help you communicate with people who speak other languages than yourself. BigHal allows for live translation between over 60 language combinations inside of a instant messaging program for under $10.
This is a great tool for being able to communicate with people from anywhere in the world, although I think most speak English at least to some level currently, but for people who don't or who often talk with people who don't speak their language this could be very useful. People do have to remember though that just because a program can translate your words for you, you still should know something about the culture of the people you're talking with in order to not offend anyone.
