The funny thing about the real estate portal you flagged is that, when it debuted at VON, the set-up was so convincing that some people were asking whether Iperia was a real estate company.

That was the start of a number of good conversations about service creation, and how to merge voice with data to everyone’s benefit – service providers and their SMB/SME customers alike.

It’s available for a free 30-day trial at http://www.highspeedconferencing.com.

Per the other comments about using Facebook/MYSpace as the UI/directory for voice, our biggest challenege has been getting users of social networks to pay $ for services which create value.

Anybody have any good ideas on that one?

In fact, it is already widely available. Unity Business Networks, the provider of hosted IP PBX services to businesses, routinely sells the Polycom HD phones right now, and the voice quality is fantastic.

I know that theoretically you could use legacy circuit switched bandwidth to connect two devices that use an HD codec to provide higher voice quality, but nobody is really doing it. VoIP protocols are much more flexible, since they generally allow on-the-fly codec negotiation as part of call setup.

Good points. I too believed that voice apps shall play a bigger role in the social networking arena. Out of curiosity, I did some digging to find out some statistics on the users that really use voice apps on facebook. It was pretty bizarre. Not sure if web 2.0 is ready for voice apps. Or maybe voice apps are not the greatest tools for social communications. Would love to hear what your insight on this is. Check out my blog link for voip app statistics on facebook

HD voice quality will be a marketing tactic once it’s available. Just like HDTV.

PSTN hasn’t provided it in 100+ years, so I label it PSTN as such.

CRM has a defined need in that this is how people work “as is, you are just making it more efficient. Hey, I’d love some of that business myself by providing VoiceSage from within SalesForce.com etc. But we are getting serious pull on “Interactive Voice Messaging” meshed with “logistics” systems. More information available upon request.

You can add voice messages by calling some phone number and also using VOIP in Gadu-Gadu IM software. Time will show if it would become a killer feature of Blip.

A year ago, it was just about using the soc-net as a directory. For example, start-ups like Jangl and Jaxtr gave us widgets to put on our personal page.

Now, things are moving to the next level. Two examples: 1) Jeff Pulver’s FWD lets you exchange voicemail with your Facebook friends. 2) Iotum lets you set up conference calls with your Facebook friends.

In both cases, the start-up focussed on building the voice-centric infrastructure and uses Facebook as the UI to manage your messages, view call history, etc.
