"You can’t be serious. Meebo, while a nice display of Ajax and HTML wizardry is a product primarily based on an audience that isn’t allowed to use it. Their major users are people who are on networks that block IM protocols. That meebo.com won’t soon be blocked is just wishful thinking. Sorry."

Not true. A lot of us use it because we don't want half of our memory to be consumed by 4-5 dedicated agents because the different IM providers can't agree to a common protocol.

Burn Hot, Burn Fast - Skype's PR Demise?

Skype is blowing it, particularly in the public relations department. Yahoo! recently beta launched Yahoo! Messenger with Voice … and nothing really came out from Skype or its PR department or firm.

Great point Michael! After using the new Messenger all day yesterday, that’s exactly the same conclusion I see. Total integration of everything anyone would ever need in a nice little client.

You can already listen to music through Y! Messenger. They offer Y! Music LaunchCast, a compilation of different genre music stations as well as your own personal music station - which you create by selecting your favorite types of music and then rating artists, albums and songs as they play.

Y! Messenger wants to be that one application that ties everything together - both at home and on-the-go. Y! is way ahead of others as far as integrating all of its offerings into Messenger.

Rao, you may be correct. There appears to be transcoding, be it transparent, if no packet loss exists (ie circuit). EG711 is an internet version (Gips) of G711, so it performs better than standard G711 over IP. You might call Gips and ask them the scoop on the use of EG711. I would be interested. I've not real familiar with it.

They have tests to support the PSTN claim. In fact, one of Yahoo's press releases today made reference to the testing. I believe there are a lot of fluctuation in quality based on the network. That's why Skype has the poorest quality.

Gips recently released a Border Engine Interface to handle transcoding and other issues at the point where two networks join (eg PSTN and IP). That will solve a lot of problems when carriers and such employ that.

God Bless.

Rick, I am surprised to hear that EG711 interoperates directly with PCM/G711. Their datasheet suggests that it is a vriable bit rate codec. I agree that it is likely they use other standard narrowband codec; but then codec can not explain for the alleged (I have not tried yet) superior voice quality.

But then I am skeptical of such early claims. FWD was considered to offer better than PSTN quality; then it was Skype's turn. Indeed that halo still exists, though there are anectodal stories about poor DTMF detection and things like that.

Whatever, it is good for GIPS if such perceptions continue.

EG711 interoperates directly with PCM/G711. I’m quite sure Y! has installed other standard codecs such as G723 for PSTN interoperability. But I can’t verify that.

Rick, If Y is using EG711, then their PSTN gateways also need to implement that codec. That means the wholesale carrier’s gateways must support this codec. I wonder which gateway supports this codec.

But still I cannot connect my Cisco or Sipura or any other SIP or IAX gateway to yahoo-voice. I have to keep my computer and win/messenger running for all the time. That is not good idea. Check folloring services which allow to use your own SIP/IAX device http://www.teliax.com http://www.stanaphone.com http://www.voicepulse.com http://callcentric.com and many more

Jason, look on http://www.globalipsound.com to see their codecs.

iSAC – variable wide/narrow band iPCM – wideband iLBC – narrowband

PSTN calls probably use Gips Enhanced G711 (EG711)
