Thanks to blogging pal Tom Keating at TMCNet, client SightSpeed is getting some early play on tonight’s release (9 PM PDT) of SightSpeed 5.0 which Om Malik broke the news on over a week ago. TechCrunch’s Neil Kjeldsen and PhoneBoy also jump in on the act as well with insight and viewpoints. I personally love … Read more
I was tipped off last night that Gizmo Project is doing a white label deal with SixApart that will allow users of Live Journal to contact their “friends” via IM and Voice using Gizmo.. Good stuff. This move takes VoIP and Presence to another level blending it in with blogging. In my estimation, it’s all … Read more

This VoIP Lowdown story is really all about FMC, even if the story doesn’t directly say it. When you read through it you can see the direction that Nokia, a client, is moving and the process steps they are taking, starting with data apps first and seeding voice apps.
