Skype goes down, the world goes crazy!
Just ahead of Christmas, when users are most relying on Skype’s video chat and low-rates to speak with loved ones in distant lands, an ominous sign: Continue reading
Tropo Pushes International Development
Tropo Go Global
Tropo, a voice application platform, announced yesterday availability of local numbers in more than 40 countries. Tropo previously had offered local numbers limited to the United States, but now launched the program internationally.
Need to test an app that makes calls? Those have been 100% free in development for calls to US numbers. We’re expanding that support internationally as well. In addition to the free calls to US mobiles and landlines that you’ve always had, our developer program now supports free calling to landlines in 17 other countries.
Although SMS may still be limited to US numbers, the availability of International local numbers to developers makes testing voice applications incredibly easy and affordable (as in free).
More information can be obtained directly from their release announcement.
Props. Respect. Tsahi Levent-Levi.
It’s great to be noticed… so today, we’re giving (in the style of Ali G) mad props and RESPECT to Tsahi Levent-Levi for mentioning VoIP Tech Chat in his article “My 50+ non-Top VoIP Blogs of 2010.” Sure it sucks to officially be a “non-top” VoIP Blog, but then again– who are we kidding here? We’ve got a freakin’ picture of Ben Affleck on our header.
You know, Levent-Levi’s 50+ non-Top blogs actually feature some of our must read blogs. We’re listed along with Michael Graves, Dave Michels, and even Jeff Pulver (all required reading).

We made it look all different
Sometimes, you just get sick of looking at the same thing over and over again. Of course, the one exception to this is our wives. Of course. See honey?
Anyway, as we were saying… every now and then you just need to go ahead and make a change. After all, it was the greatest musical act of all time that told us:
When it’s time to change, then its time to change
Don’t fight the tide, come along for the ride, don’t you see
When it’s time to change, you’ve got to rearrange
Yes, that group was The Brady Bunch. Peter, Greg, Marsha, Bobby, Cindy, and Jan were right. When it’s time to change you’ve got to rearrange.
Today, we rearranged our site. Nothing crazy. In fact the only really crazy aspect is the homage to Mr. Ben Affleck. If Ben Franklin is the patron saint of VoIP Tech Chat (and he is) then Mr. Ben Affleck is, well he’s just the baddest man in the whole town.
Thanks for reading.
A Tale of Two Wiki’s
Atlas heard about this venture and shrugged...(cause he had the whooooole world....)
I was introduced to a fun little “tool” today: Find the shortest route between two Wikipedia articles.
The first thing I tried was an analysis of the path from Death to VoIP, and I discovered Continue reading
Dear Comcast…
Dear Comcast,
Comcast...Cares?
I am leaving you this note on the fridge because I can’t bear to face you. I can’t bear seeing the look in your eyes when I tell you that it’s over. This off again, on again blamefest has come to an end. I was always there to support you financially, but you never reciprocated with the kind of love, the kind of consistency I needed in my life.
This isn’t easy for me. As I close this chapter in the book that is yet to be finished, I know I will look back on our times together with some hints of fondness. I am sure we will cross paths again, someday. I hope that we can smile, exchange greetings, show each other a base level of respect and courtesy.
I have taken the liberty of leaving all of your things at your office, so, aside from this note, this is goodbye.
Or is it…
Michael Graves Discusses PBXact
I’ve said before that I’m a big (not a fat reference) fan of Michael Graves’ blog. Continuing his promotion of the wicked cool and useful†, Mr. Graves recently wrote about Schmooze Communications’ PBXact system.
It’s a GREAT read and I leave you with this: Magic Button. (read the article)

†Yes… Wicked cool and useful. If it doesn’t meet the criteria for both, it doesn’t make his blog.
Acer Aspire One – Innocent Netbook
Or cleverly disguised secret agent for the video phone revolution?
I R Eatz U R Dataz!
I love my netbook. I love my netbook so much, I have two of them (okay, one is the wife’s). Surprisingly, I managed to survive months on nothing but my netbook doing fairly intensive SQL / VoIP / Web work. The hard drive is a little slow, but the overall performance is outstanding.
When I travel, I can use Skype to video chat with the built in webcam and get great quality (both ways) for both picture and sound. It’s like a giant smart phone. It reminds me of the $1000+ “video phones” that were supposed to be the future of talking on the phone… then people realized they really didn’t want to “get pretty” to use the phone. Now, for around $250 a unit, you can have that and so much more.
Truth in Caller ID Act Passes House
Last year, the Senate passed the Truth in Caller ID Act of 2009 (S. 30 passed unanimously) and this year, the House moved forward on their own version. Of course, moving at the speed of government, the House passed the Truth in Caller ID Act of 2010.
Truth in Caller ID Act of 2009 – Amends the Communications Act of 1934 to make it unlawful for any person in the United States, in connection with any telecommunication service or VOIP (voice over Internet protocol) service, to cause any caller identification service to transmit misleading or inaccurate caller identification information (“spoofing”) with the intent to defraud or cause harm. Prohibits construing these provisions to prevent blocking caller identification or to authorize or prohibit law enforcement or U.S. intelligence agency activities.
