Find free wifi with WeFi

from Lifehacker by Adam Pash

Windows only: Freeware utility WeFi helps you find free wifi connections on-the-go.

WeFi works like this: users install the WeFi client on their computer, then contribute data to the community by discovering open networks with the WeFi client. The client reports to WeFi headquarters, which then shares the open access point with other WeFi users. Aside from helping you find open hotspots, WeFi also has a social aspect that shows you where other WeFi users are. To be honest, it's hard not to be a little dubious of an app like WeFi, which basically tracks where you are as long as it's running and you're on the internet (plus I had difficulty installing it on my computer). However, if you're in desperate need of free wifi, it might be worth a try. WeFi is freeware, currently Windows only (with a Mac version "Coming soon").
