A story in XChange today rebukes the story yesterday about Verizon being all VoIP. This is an example of how messaging can get twisted. Even I read the account to be all VoIP in seven years. Clearly, that’s not the case.
One of the key groups in my agency is called Speakers & Listeners. It’s run by the co-founder of Under The Radar, Alison Murdock and has a star team of six that work with our clients to help them secure speaking slots at conferences as well as manage the process for clients when it comes … Read more
Rumors, rumors, rumors. The world runs on rumors. On one hand we read that Skype is looking for a new person to lead their developer efforts.

Since Truphone is my agency’s client, I’ve waited while many of the other bloggers weighed in with their opinions regarding the recent Skype and IM integration, like this one by Jon Arnold.
