Yesterday, after not receiving any feedback from anyone at Ooma after my last blog post, I decided to instigate an online chat with their support site. I first got what I assume is a level one support person. After I started asking my questions, he quickly transferred me to an engineer. Agent (Vincent): “Helllo Jason,…
Update: here’s the full cnet.com story with more information. WOW. A while back I wrote about my brand spankin’ new Vizio 47″ 1080P LCD. I have had it now for roughly 6 months and I still love it. It’s a fantastic TV that still continues to get oohs and awws when people see it for…
This is from the Reasons-To-Move-To-England Department: If you’re in the UK, you can now order your pizza via SMS. You have to go online and pre-register (probably to put in your full name, address, etc), but after that you can order via text message to your heart’s content. Very cool. In the States we can…
Skype, the darling of software based VoIP products, maybe down right now; but I love what they ARE doing. They’re communicating to their users. On their blog they have updated their status multiple times. After being a victim of Sunrocket’s demise, it’s refreshing to see a company doing it right. Bravo Skype! Thank you for…
Netflix had a tough quarter, as indicated by their last quarterly conference call. Blockbuster online is continuing to give them a run for their money. Today they made a move that will win over new people and keep current customers happy. For those on the three movie a month plan, they lowered their montly fee…
Last weekend I enjoyed my first Gnomedex, a tech conference hosted by Chris and Ponzi Pirillo. Seattle was the backdrop for this fantastic conference. Chris asked for feedback via our blogs, so that’s the intent of this post along with generating some discussion. Gnomedex is an interesting conference because it’s single track, meaning there’s one…
For those of you who didn’t see the coverage a while back, a company called Ooma announced a product that would do away with your long distance costs “for life”. The product was not very warmly received by the blogosphere. The basic idea behind ooma is that you connect it 1) to your broadband internet…
So Google is making waves today in the tech press because they’re offering increased online storage space. Read their blog for more details While I’m a huge Google advocate and use their services for many online activities, I’d like to challenge them to do better than this. The options they have given us are merely…
I’m currently in Seattle for Gnomedex 7.0. For those of you unfamiliar with gnomedex, it’s a blogger/podcaster/rss/social media conference in Seattle hosted by Chris and Ponzi Pirillo (yes that Chris from the old TechTV). I’m very excited to be here and I can’t wait for my first Gnomedex. It’ll be so much fun. To follow…
According to Michael over at TechCrunch, Flickr will soon be adding support to hold videos. A few weeks ago, I was trying to decide whether to buy a Flickr Pro account. Well I buckled down and bought a yearly subscription. I’m very glad I did, even with flickr’s current feature set. I’m in the same…
