I know its early in 2009 but I think the best tech tip of the year is this one.
Slydial.
Slydial is a new technology allowing one to call people straight to their voice mail and never have to get caught in a wasteful or uncomfortable conversation. It is free (listen to commercials) or pay only $25/yr for unlimited.
