Use Your Phone # via Google Voice for $20

You know about Google Voice, right? You use it … or you know someone who does .. or you’ve heard of it. It’s the system that allows anybody, or any company, sound professional and do dozens of things with telephone calls that they never thought they could. All for the low low price of $0.00.

Nice.

But until recently you also had to use one of Google’s phone #’s or forward your own # to it, all of which tied you back into AT&T or whoever and just made the whole exercise seem that must less valuable.

Well now it looks like Google is going to let you port your number over to their service for about $20 and enjoy all the features of the system without letting your Clients or anyone else know about the switch.

It’s a sole-practitioner’s best friend. But don’t take my word for it, check out Google Voice or read the full post on TechCrunch

4G? Don’t believe the hype

Thinking of upgrading to one of those dynamite new 4G smart-phones? Well too bad. The International Telecommunications Union (ITU) says 4G doesn’t exist yet in the U.S. So why does every cellular carrier claim to be able to offer “4G” or “4G speed” (which is like offering processed pasteurized cheese-like substance instead of, you know, cheese)? The answer: it turns out that lying to millions of cellphone users is good marketing. The reality behind the hype is explained succinctly in this article from ZD NET, which explains that in order to reach the coveted 4G level, AT&T and T-Mobile just said they were. Way to display integrity, telecom industry. You’ve really earned my loyalty.

But since “real” 4G networks built for data and voice traffic won’t be here for nearly a decade, you might as well go ahead and get that upgrade. Just don’t believe the hype.

Vokle gives a voice to the masses (sort of)

It looks like Vokle wants to become the video chat forum for the masses. Originally envisioned as a political platform, Vokle makes it so easy to broadcast and receive real-time streaming commentary that it just might make public debate over the Internet a reality. The platform has also been embraced and roundly praised by Arrianna Huffington … but I like it anyway.
