Oh but T.38 Just Isn't Reliable!

December 28, 2009

My company works with thousands of IP communications companies, CLECs, incumbents, wireless operators and entrepreneurs from as many as 170 nations right now through our DIDX and Techistan services. Today I was able to peek at another interesting experiment with fax over IP. 

From a voip solution developer in the industry who helps DIDX buyers implement the DIDX API: "We just sent a 23 page fax, sent from a Comcast
landline to a Canadian number, received in one of our new wholesale client's servers through PRI.


Then we sent to a secondary PBX where the WebGUI is, via IAX.

Those are some of the area codes that a new DIDX seller will have available.

Mobile and Wireless to Take over IP Communications

December 16, 2009

Maybe not, but ...

On November 3, 2008

, I noted that out of five of my best girl friends, three had gotten rid of their landline phones. One was using Verizon on a Blackberry Curve. One was using T-Mobile. Another AT&T on a Nokia E61i like I was.

We have some very talented people in Northwest Florida, and Sarah Cook is one of them. She recently sent me this message with her resume, and hmm... yes, it is a bit un-orthodox but sometimes I am known for that... but I'm going to share her resume with you in the hopes that she will be hired!

This is the way to get things done in a digital world. (They used Dim Dim, Qik, and Camstudio.)

Will Friendster Trounce Facebook and MySpace?

December 10, 2009

On December 10, 2009, the Wall Street Journal published an article that "Malaysia-based MOL Global Pte. Ltd. has agreed to acquire all of Friendster Inc. ... MOL Global is an affiliate of unlisted MOL AccessPortal Berhad, a company that operates and develops payment systems. MOL's main shareholder is Berjaya Corp. (3395.KU) Chairman Vincent Tan"

Want to hear more?

Friendster aims to make other social networks such as MySpace, Facebook, Hi5, Orkut, and Tagged look like "a day at Grandma's knitting sweaters and doing word searches." It is more about "connecting smiles." 

I have a friend named Iris in Singapore who chatted with me on Google Talk about how much fun she thinks Friendster is.



How to Get Your Customers and Employees to Love You

December 9, 2009

The Cult of the Customer (or is your Team, your staff?) Erik Linask just sent me this invite and I want to pass it on to others.

When: Wednesday December 9, 2009 2:00 pm ET 11:00am PT 
What: 1 Hour Live Webinar with Q&A 
Where: Online 
Cost: Complimentary 

The customer experience has never been more important than it is in today's service environment.

In this thought provoking webinar, you will be compelled to ask the following: Is my company in alignment? Does every employee understand the vision? Do our employees love their jobs? 

Discover the concepts, lessons and strategies that will show you how to build a customer service culture that will make your customers and employees 'amazing.' 

Based on the speaker's best-selling book, The Cult of the Customer, you will be introduced to powerful customer service and experience concepts that can help increase: 
Customer loyalty 
Employee morale 
Employee loyalty 
Value to your customers 
Your bottom line 
The value of your brand 

After the presentation, the Webinar will be open for a live Q&A.
