Thanks to everybody who dialed in for today’s Voice Mashup conference call, especially to Jim Courtney, Andy Abramson and of course, our host, Alec Saunders.

Now that I’ve stuck my foot firmly in my mouth, it’s time to come clean on what I think the future of our industry is. I’ll put together a comprehensive article about it soon, but as a preface to it, here’s my “Next Generation Communications Primer”. Each item in the list is critical [...]
I think the real definition of a killer application is when you’ll purchase the platform just for the app.
