Some of you will remember my Phweety, Joanna Stern, when the two of us had a voice call about 18 months ago over GoGO, back when they were saying “no way could you make a voice call” using Phweet.
Or you may recall her from her Queen of the Netbooks role at Laptop Magazine where she became one of the foremost authorities on the tiny PCs that are changing how we use them every day. Well after Laptop Joanna went to Gizmodo for a short stint before venturing out to the world of freelance writing. This week she’s at CES for Engadget, but her biggest heart a flutter story has to be making her writing debut in the “Old Gray Lady.” The New York Times.
The story, which tells you all you need to know about making money saving calls covers client Truphone, Fring and Skype. It’s a wonderfully written piece and explains how VoIP plays a role, but has the kind of tone that your grandmother would understand. While Joanna previously appeared as the baby sitter in a video with the Times’ star columnist, David Pogue, her story today pretty much tells you all why she’ll always be VoIPWatch’s number one Phweety.
