!Useful
Connect all of them



Bonus credit if you can extend your connect to this

Gammafunction gets the perfect answer along with the bonus credit (this is the bonus credit :P ).
Rohan gets the perfect answer.
nishas thambi is almost perfect in spite of his fading powers due to the missing apostrophe.
jayanth , Dibyo , bobo , shreyas , BiGFooT , A Nony Mouse and Vinay were also more or less correct.
Answer:
They are all names of Gnutella clients
Quoting Gammafunction:
1.Bearshare (bear)
2.Kiwi alpha (kiwi-fruit)
3.Limewire (lemon)
4.Gnucleus (nucleus)
5.Nutella (on which the name Gnutella is based)
No one quites got the hint in the title, !Useful == Not(Useful) == WASTE which is another p2p network invented by Justin Frankel,co-inventor of Gnutella.
