Users Can Review Groovytel.com on Google Enterprise Solution Gallery

Groovytel.com gives a free Toledo, Ohio, USA phone number to every Groovytel.com member (member sounds better than user). Each member controls the settings of whether to make their phone number ring to MSN instant messenger, Gizmo Project, Yahoo Instant Messenger, GoogleTalk, FreeWorldDialup, and other instant messengers and sip addresses free.

The member is sitting on the monorail with his laptop online, at the office, at home, at the airport... anywhere in the world. The people who are important to him who he has given his USA phone number to can call it from a cell phone or landline phone or IP phone, and when they do... it rings on his instant messenger or SIP address of choice. How groovy is that?

Many of the Groovytel.com members use GoogleTalk. In fact, my Dad is trying it out, and he's 70 years old, totally loving it. You can review your experience with Groovytel.com by clicking the Google Enterprise Soluton Gallery button at the bottom of the Groovytel.com webpage now.

I'd love to know your experience and to know about your getting calls from those who are important to you, no matter where you are in the world on your instant messenger or SIP agent on your laptop or cell phone.

I'm Sharing a Secret How you Can Influence Others Free

I'm dancing with joy as usual (at least in my head) but more than ever at this moment because I found a super strategy I want to share with you to influence others, publish your knowledge and views, and to collaborate with and learn from the best in your industry.

What's the secret? Blog Friends on Facebook! I added the Facebook application about two months ago, and it is one of my favorites. (Others I like are Scrabulous, Free Conference Calls, Traveler's IQ Challenge, ILike from the same guy who runs Garageband, Truphone, Myphone, FWD's Voicemail and there are more, but I'll stop there.)

Bloggers around the world, those I know and don't know, when you invite friends to add the Blog Friends application, they automatically become "Fans" of your blog and see your posts by preference in their "River." This "River" showcases your posts on their profile box for all their friends to see.

Better still than this, though, people who are "Fans" of *your* Fans will also get your posts in their "River," so you get exponentially more reads of your posts for each Blog Friend you add!

In this short period of time, I've used Blog Friends, I've got 40 "Fans." *Quantity isn't the exciting part here. It's the quality that turns me on. Every "fan" is linked to me because of shared interests. I'm also a fan of their blog.

An effective way to get new "Blog Friends" is to link to the application from your blog, along with your own explanation of why your readers might enjoy Blog Friends.

Here's the link you need: http://apps.facebook.com/blogfriends ... I believe in collaboration EVEN AMONG competitors. My company Super Technologies, Inc.'s DIDXchange is an example that proves this part of our mission.

Influence? You can all have it. I don't want to keep it to myself. ;-)

... Some of the text above I quoted directly from a Blog Friends email update.

*Note: A person can be proud to have the most friends, fans, cars, houses, etc. etc.... no problem, but but but, what is quality of those relationships, those items? Quality is what matters more to me.

Frequently Asked Questions about VON to Suzanne of DIDXchange

Not that Suzanne! The other one you know from Linkedin, video interviews, Youtube, Facebook, running, DIDxchange, etc.

Q: Everyone is asking, who will be exhibiting at Fall VON (VOICE, VIDEO, and VISION on the NET) in Boston, Massachusetts Oct 30 - Nov 1, 2007?

A: http://www.von.com/2007/boston/web/expoCompanies.htm

Q: How can you sign up to attend the conference sessions, visit the exhibits, hear the keynote speeches, attend Jeff Pulver's VON party, and network at all the receptions, lunches and breakfasts and other social events? Are there discounts and free passes?

A: https://secure.pulver.com/cgi-bin/von?mode=gpur&conf=vonfal07&type=g&pricode=DIDX

Q: Suzanne, do you work for VON? Why do you always talk about VON, ITEXPO, NXTCOMM, GTM, PTC, Wimax World, Gitex, VON Europe, VON Mexico, ITCN Asia, and the other voIP and IT conferences?

A: No, I do not. I do have great respect for the VON team, especially Joanne Varello. Our company Super Technologies, Inc. believes that there are several advantages to meeting in person in one location to develop business.
1. Save money, i.e., spend it one time on lodging, flight, etc. to meet with several.
2. Save resources such as paper, electricity, etc. (Think green and stop waste.)
3. Pool the brightest minds to one location to save time.
4. Educate yourself.
5. Share your expertise in one location.
6. Meet several 1000 to develop business and possibly form new friendships. (Example: I've made 100s of new friends in the voIP by discovering the runners among the industry. We meet and run early in the AM and talk shop but also about life.)
7. We often sponsor these events as an association sponsor and daily recommend the events to our http://www.didx.net/ global wholesale direct inward dialing marketplace of as of Oct 2, 2007... 7000+ ITSPs of all types from over 100 nations in the world because of # 1-7.

See you at booth 1263 at Fall VON 2007! Schedule now an appt for a video interview showcasing your company's services and why you are attending VON. If you're a runner, contact me to run in the early AM. I need encouragement, too.

Homeless Showed me How DIDX is Pretty Cool

Sitting in Breaktime Expresso this morning, sharing coffee with a few local *homeless guys and gals... (no, I'm not homeless, but I have been), we discussed the news on Google and Yahoo on my laptop (free WIFI at BE, cool). They are some of the few American consumers (non-telecom-businesspeople) who don't bat an eye when I tell them Super Technologies offers mainly wholesale telecom solutions like a global phone number exchange.

They usually respond with one of the following:
1. So, you mean, I could get me a phone number of my own that I could get calls and voicemails on even though I don't own a cell phone or landline?
2. I could sure use finding a telephone company who could do that for me. There's a few PC's on WIFI at the local End of the Line Cafe I can use free. They have headsets, too. Now, I don't have to give away my freedom just to get a phone number.

Very interesting, indeed... so what is the latest for DIDXCHANGE?

DIDX.net, the world’s largest DID/DDI phone number market place, announces interconnection with Microsoft MSN Messenger using gtalk2voip services. DIDX is the DID exchange for 3250+ telecom companies from over 200 countries around the globe.

DIDX began with 100 members in August 25, 2005. It is one of the most disruptive yet practical VoIP services in the 21st century, created and maintained by Super Technologies, Inc., VoIP technology company for six years, based in sunny Pensacola, Florida.

The MSN interconnection makes Super Technologies, Inc. the first company in the world to offer phone lines on Microsoft MSN Messenger and the opportunity to empower more individuals and industry than ever with DID from Africa, Asia, Americas, Australia, and Europe. “We predicted the ever-increasing demand in the world market for DID versatility as long ago as 1999. We have made it our mission to cater to this demand.

Most of all, we are excited about the un-imaginable number of opportunities available to us and even more so, our thousands of global telecom partners to benefit from this deal,” says Suzanne Bowen CEO, Super Technologies. Customers can own a US, UK, France, Australia, Malaysia, Poland, Pakistan, and/or Nigeria phone numbers (DID = Direct Inward Dialing) on their regular Microsoft MSN Messenger.

Super Technologies, Inc.'s DIDX service is poised to offer similar interconnection services for other exciting programs such as Google Talk, Gizmo Project, Groovytel, Free World Dialup**and Skype. Initially the service will be offered through the DIDX’s retail number sales web site on www.virtualphoneline.com

Measures are in the process now to add the module to the wholesale DID engine at www.didx.net. MSN Messenger*** is a service and product of Microsoft Corporation.

Google Talk is a service and product of Google, Inc. Skype is a product and service of Skype Limited. All services and products mentioned are property of their relative companies.
