I seem to be a little behind with new tech lately. I haven’t jumped into podcasting and I don’t even have Skype installed on my PC. Just the same, there are some interesting developments in the world of Skype.

As such, Skype does not yet compete with them. Vonage is for users who USE the phone. Who pick it up and dial it. Who answer it when it rings. Who want to keep the number they have had for years. Most folks don't want to sit at the computer with a headset on and dial out and use skype. Its more of a souped up IM program. Skype may be in that market someday. But until it has a product that allows you to actually pick up and use the phone, Vonage won't be troubled. The real story is here is how Vonage is gobbling up market share from Ma Bell, aka your local phone company.</p> <p>Regards</p> I think vonage is a true phone company.

Is there a conspiracy of silence when it comes to the darling of the blogosphere? Or only Bellheads can be called evil?
