Exposing Ourselves to Info from Outside our Little Confining Circles

March 17, 2010

It's tough to step outside of my little circle, but I know I need to. We all do. So I found something new. It's IT-OC.

IT-OC.com is a hub of Egypt ICT showcase, an online gathering of people like you and me in the East and West, sharing ideas, technologies, services, inventions, interviews, events and more.  They recently published some articles about the iTIndoComm May 5-7, 2010 conference that our DIDXchange is media partner and our addition of New Zealand DID on DIDX at 99 cents per month.

Deal Center is Chosen for Online Meeting System by Telx

March 15, 2010

DealCenter, LLC, an online meeting system that enables attendees to schedule meetings with their peers leading up to and during an event, announces today it will provide its meeting service to Telx's Customer Business Exchange (CBX), an annual networking event designed to help grow Telx customers’ business, to be held June 3 in New York City. "Deal Center" is how I met Jaymie Scotto, Ilissa Miller and others from their company and were quite impressed at their attentive customer care.

This is the second year in a row that Telx, a provider of interconnection, colocation and business exchange services in North American markets, has selected DealCenter to be deployed at its CBX event. 

Let me add the following quote and direct you to the original press release.

"Telx's CBX is a highly respected event in the telecommunications industry and our team is honored to work with CBX again this year," states Jaymie Scotto Cutaia, CEO of DealCenter, LLC. “CBX is an event for networking, delivering true event ROI to its attendees, and DealCenter is excited to provide its meeting management system to support these networking efforts."





No Matter What Emily Post Says, Check Recording Laws

March 15, 2010

The first thing I learned to read, around age five, was everything on a box of Kellog's Corn Flakes. From there on, I was doomed or empowered? I studied Emily Post, the Hardy Boys, encyclopedias, a book about nuns I found in my Dad's office ... Everyone who attended the social networking session I participated in at ITEXPO East 2010, heard my story about encyclopedias motivating me to dig a hole to China. Many a time, a book was removed from my lap at school, and I was told, "Do another worksheet." 

Today, I still read at every chance.

Discussion on Minimum Scan Resolution to PDF to be Legible

Understanding the Plus and Minus of Private or Public Peering

February 11, 2010

Everything you ever wanted to know about peering and better I found in this surprise location on the web at Drpeering.net. There is a great debate on the good, bad and ugly of both public and private peering. The site mentioned their notes they gathered from a debate at NANOG in Seattle, Washington to create the diagrams and arguments. The group compared notes and practices, and preferences for public or for private peering.

They provide five reasons for each with a conclusion of...

Telefónica Bought Jajah and Now Partners with Wikipedia

February 4, 2010

Telefónica is on a roll. They acquired Jajah, a web-activated, mobile web telephony, and direct number call  service provider, in December 2009. Recently they partnered with Wikipedia. The company Jajah is known for its Latin-American audience in mobile and online services. 

"It's a three-year strategic partnership to make Wikimedia's educational content available on Telefónica Web and mobile portals in the entire Telefónica footprint."

A slight shift in topic, I remember meeting them the first time at an EXPO COMM Mexico conference.

Open Source Telephony and Social Media, Can't Take Them Seriously

February 3, 2010

 Interested in how small and large businesses are using social media like Twitter and open source telephony like Asterisk, openSIPS, Kamailio. and FreeSWITCH? We often want to pretend that what we do not understand "new disruptive ideas and services," i.e., social media and open source telephony... they cannot possibly be taken seriously, right?   One response to open source impact on overall communications industry recently included, "We view these solutions as helping to expand the overall market for VoIP by increasing awareness and enabling new applications to be envisioned..."   Is it true?
