Jeff Pulver and Richard Stastny talk about VoN Blur — the out-of-focus feeling from information overload at a VoN conference. Presumably many of my friends and colleagues are experiencing Supercomm blur this week, a swan song I am sitting out.
Tonight I caught up on my must-read telco/voip blogs. I had been letting them go for awhile, and making bad use of the keep_new tick box in bloglines, building up a taller and taller pile of overhanging Important Articles To Read. But, tonight was the night, I was going to clear the pile.
The pile is done, I read it all, and as I sit here in the rubble of the demolished essays, musings, and links, I realized that I have just experienced bloglines blur … I know I just read many important things, relevant to me, the industry, my clients, hell, even society. But, it’s … all … just … a … blur.
Here’s what I can bring back in focus:
- The FCC finally issues its Order on E911 Requirements for IP-Enabled Service Providers … Everyone commented. I read it all, and can’t even begin to think about how to summarize it, so I won’t
- Video4Skype released a video over skype client, which was slashdotted taking the site down
- Jeff Pulver and Henry Sinnreich are challenging the SIP community to respond to Skype’s success with a standards-based communication agent. Jeff’s post is here, RFI here.
- The French have outlawed use of the word blog (okay, so this is off-topic, but it did stick in my mind)
- Richard Stastny’s blog has some great wrap-ups post VoN Europe, also some good commentary on what’s going on in the EU.
Maybe this has just been a busy couple of weeks, naah, that’s not it. IP Communications is hot, hot, hot, and is living in internet time. Great time to be in this industry, but it does tend to interefere with one’s sleep.
