What is Open Source? If you don’t know then probably it has become so ubiquitous that you never pay attention to the term anymore. You’re probably using open source software and yet you don’t know it. Open source projects revolutionized the IT industry and business in general and it promise to do more in the near and the far future. At the backend of the Internet, you’ll find open source projects powering its infrastructure. From operating system like Linux, and blogging software like WordPress to online forum software like phpBB. Behind the scene, countless other small and yet important softwares are being churned out by the energetic and passionate members of the community. In many ways, the internet revolution we are seeing right now is directly caused by members of the community. Open Source, by also being free (in most cases) or low cost has made technology available to more people.

In software, I look for simplicity. I look for tools that are simple, easy to use and most importantly, help me finish my work faster.

MemoKeys, I must say belongs to this category of tools. I use it to save time by encoding text that I repeatedly use in different documents across different application. For me, it has worked on all application that accepts text input (ex. word processor, email clients, web forms). The developer has even claimed that it has been tested on 40 different target applications.

This is a breaking news in VoIP for consumers and businesses who would like to save a lot on communications. I posted the entire news article here so that everyone could read it. This is currently available in the UK and I am hoping that Voicenet Solutions would make this fixed mobile convergence solution available everywhere. It is always good to have calls to our fixed business landlines be forwarded to our mobile phones using our business VoIP network. We may no longer have to give out our mobile numbers but instead just our fixed landlines since calls would be forwarded to our mobile. Right now, we understand the infancy of these technologies but we are hoping that soon these would be available everywhere not only in the UK but also to the rest of the world. We pray that Voicenet Solutions hear us on this one.

It is quite difficult to get into business when we are trying to communicate with major languages being used now in the West. Hard to accept but not all who are into business are capable of speaking the Universal Language which is the English language. That is why many businesses who have clients from the other parts of the Globe wherein a different language is being used needs a translator to help them in understanding languages not commonly shared by everyone.

Right now, a new technology had arised. This is Promt 7.8 - an online translation tool that would make one easily translate phrases and words to and from various major languages from the West. Whether it be French, Dutch, Portuguese, Spanish, Italian and Russian to English. It is a major assistance to most of us who are into business.

This tool is a very usable software that could easily assist anyone who would be talking to another businessman from another part of the Globe. Language would no longer be a barrier when it comes to that.

It has been a while since I was able to write again about VoIP. My last post was (VoIP Review) about a general point of view of how VoIP would soon shape the future of communications. Right now, Mobile VoIP were released by providers such as Skype and Jajah. Cheaper alternatives for consumers and businesses who frequently uses long distance communications. Much cheaper than when using conventional telephone systems using Distance Dialling.

Skype released their 3 Skypephone, a mobile phone running over VoIP which is a stylish mobile phone that calls, texts and takes pictures like you’d expect it to; one can also use it to call and instant message their friends, free, wherever they are in the world. The only downside is that it is only available in selected countries for now. 3 Skypephone has been developed in partnership with the mobile operator 3. It’s available or coming soon in the following countries:

Good thing I chose Site5 over Dreamhost. I was actually checking them out before I signed up for Site5.

Site5 recently launched their 5$/month web hosting services with 750GB Premium Web Storage, 7500GB Bandwidth & Unlimited Websites. Quite an impossible treat from a web hosting provider specially in a world wherein profits are more important than anything else. Site5 must really be insane to come up with such marketing plans. Insanity wherein they went all out to provide superb services sacrificing profits just to reach out to consumers and SMEs but without compromising flexibility and quality of service.
