Festoooooooooon

Well, interesting. Skype, the world's biggest, baddest VOIP (VoiceOverIP) service (3,996,447 users online at the moment I type this) has for a while now been flirting with IVC and there's a nifty little program called Festoon that is currently in beta and hence currently free. I downloaded it and have it installed but so far don't see anyone in my contacts list (admittedly small) who has the program installed so I can test it. Anyone out there looking to take this thang around the virtual block for a test drive?

If Skype serves up a codec and service as impressive as its voice communications offering, Microsoft and Apple might just have some healthy competition. Skype/Festoon me (that sounds a bit weird, doesn't it?) at my cleverly disguised Skype username, "Scott Merrick."

Cheers!

This is an article about how to set up Yahoo!Messenger for your network that I stumbled across in the course of looking for something else. Ah, don't we love the I'net...

Though Y!M works quite well, I advocate looking into as many solutions as you can before settling on your organization's tool. iVisit, SightSpeed, and even plain old NetMeeting are also very nicely deployed over a network, not to mention the growing number of online portals and tools. See links in the sidebar for more information.
