Staying cutting edge in a screwed up economy can be a definite challenge. Luckily, however, many developers start their careers out like the average musician; with no money and a boatload of ideas.

Yet, unlike the tools needed to make a dent in the music world; many of the development tools available to developers are free. This means a lot of useful applications & software can be created by hungry developers wanting to stake their claim; which allows them to pass these savings off to the consumer public. Thus creating a win-win situation; the consumer gets good cool & useful stuff and the developer gets some kudos.

One such situation has been created over at Fring.com

fring™ is a mobile internet service & community that enables you to access & interact with your social networks on-the-go, make free calls and live chat with all your fring, Skype®, MSN® Messenger, Google Talk™, ICQ, SIP, Twitter, Yahoo!™ and AIM®* friends using your handset’s internet connection.

Hey! Now you can pass those savings over to actually being able to justify a $2.50 cup of coffee.

You can learn even more time & money saving ideas from this Forbes Article I ran across.
