Andy Abramson As if Skype didn’t have enough to worry about with Yahoo, now it seems their lack of any real technical infrastructure and their so called “super nodes” an issue in my book. Anyway what I’ve noticed is that of late Skype is not acting like an IM client, but more like a store and forward … Read more
My ninth grade world history teacher, Royal Black, a regal African American if I ever met one, and also an amazing teacher, was the first person to ever use the line to me ‘history always repeats.’ Like my college freshman Economics 1 professor Dr. McKenna who said “short term loss, long term gain” Anyway, in … Read more
Check out PhoneBoy’s comments about this past week’s VoIP news.
Stuart is feeling ready. Stowe wants to be inventive. I’m seeking to redefine how the public and the media are communicated with. We’re all doing it through the concept of blogging first, or in more generic speak, new media communications, and thus we are all modern day communicators.
Seems my 15 minutes of fame applied again this week. My views on the Yahoo Voice 2.0 plans and how it impacts Skype are being picked up all over the place by many a respectable outlet or commentator.

Here’s the main parts of the release that they are moving today, likly after market closing that came right from the Chairman himself. I consider this … Read more
NetZero is all about being cheap, so they use a cut rate media wire, which is why I almost missed this offer yesterday. It’s a very clever promotion, especially since it’s using eBay as the audience builder. I guess another company besides Yahoo is picking on Skype too.
Yahoo teed up their new Voice 2.0 play this week without a release. Russell Shaw alludes to the idea that Yahoo’s game is all about the Fourplay. I say, given what has been announced, but not yet in anyone’s hands that Yahoo’s Communications team has been engaging in journalistic foreplay with all of us and … Read more
Skype can’t buy a break. First the company out of Atlanta says they have proven they can block Skype traffic now the open source community, the same group that was so high on Skype when it first came to life, seems to be picking on the eBay owned company. Om, who seems to never sleep … Read more
