Markus Göbel provide a really useful insight into Fring numbers and business direction. He says it should get us to one click connectivity despite what I see as multiple names for each person on different services. What is means is Fring wants to control your ID or one ID for all communications.

If you need a table to compare these two. Here it is.

Dan York is about to get an iPhone. Yeah! Points to the latest reviews of the Blackberry Storm and comments on Voxeo's decision to move the corporate accounts to iPhone. That's quite a switch.

Ken Camp makes the point that unified communications have to include the emergence and integration of social media tools. I like to think of this as the new directories, the names rather than numbers. Add in location and the mix becomes more interesting and powerful.

@jfouts captures the features and simplicity of Phweet in one post. I like that! Thanks Janet.
