Dear Readers, just a couple of notes: 1. For all those who are subscribed to my feed via email, please ensure that you have verified your email. When you subscribe via email, feedburner will send you an email to verify your address. If you have not received and acted upon the email, you will not get my feed delivered. I see a good number of people in the ‘unverified’ state, so please check your status. Also note that the ‘feed by email’ is sent out at 9AM each day, if there was a new feed before that. So it is not instantaneous (I don’t control it – feedburner works that way) 2. My feed should now be working properly, ordered the right way, thanks to the wonders of Yahoo Pipes – I simply created a pipe to sort blogger feed by published date and use that as a feed to feedburner. What a great tool, this Yahoo Pipe. So for all those who were affected by the mess before, despair no more ! Technology, VoIP, SIP, IMS, Marketing, Corporate Management

Piping Hot: Are VoIP bloggers really original?
Are VoIP/Convergence/Telecom/SIP bloggers really original or do they just keep picking up posts from each other? Let’s have some fun. I wrote up a Yahoo Pipe (What?? you don’t know what they are??) that compares the feeds from: Alec Saunders Telecom’s Tsunami Pulver Blog this blog Then filter them for voip/convergence related posts, then selects only those that after analysis seem unique, sorts ‘em and then creates a new feed just for you. Check it out here and see what happens when the above four blogs are put to the ‘copycat’ test :-) I applaud the Yahoo team for coming out with such a great tool to let users apply diverse data into a personalized flow. Raw Data becomes useful information, only when you provide the right means to personalize them. (Disclaimer: This post is just an excuse for me to test Yahoo Pipes – a very very nice new concept in personalized aggregation. It is not really meant to discover if we are all original or not – so don’t complain if you think the algorithm for originality is rubbish!) For a more serious example of how it helps, remember my earlier post where I was complaining that the

Web 2.0: The machine is us/(ing us)
A friend of mine passed on this great video at YouTube by Michael Wesch (Assistant Professor of Cultural Anthropology, Kansas State university). I also noticed that Alec Saunders has it on his page too, so it looks like this video is making the rounds. I thought it was simply fantastic. A tip of the hat to Professor Wesch and his team. Enjoy. (Keep your speakers on). And then, once it excites you, how about diving into some details of web 2.0 :-)
Flash vs. AJAX – Which to choose for Internet Based Communications ?
There is no dearth of articles on the internet about the virtues of Flash over AJAX or the other way around. Arguments range from “proprietary plugin vs. open solution”, “performance vs. bandwidth”, “download size”, “availability of skillset”, “security” and much more. However, the focus of my topic is very specific. What is the right RIA platform/technology to use for ‘Internet Based Communications’ related development ?In Summary,if you want your product be successful in the market in 2007-2010 and if you need real-time voice, video and animation Flash may be a better choice today. If you need to support mobile clients, stick with Flash. AJAX is great for semi-realtime solutions like IM chats, Web Based Desktop experience, document collaboration etc. Infact, I blogged about it’s promise earlier. But not for voice/video/animation intensive operations. Here are the details (PLEASE NOTE – all of this is in context of building ‘Communication Applications on the Internet’) First, let me classify what I term as ‘Internet Based Communications’ (IBC) and the primary components that need to be considered there. My definition of IBC is ‘a multi-dimensional mode of communication, where one or more users interact with each other and or innovative services using a combination
