Silvio Scaglia, the man who started FastWeb in Italy, has taken TV one step further with his new company Babelgum – FastWeb was one of the first to deliver IPTV and now Mr. Scaglia is pushing TV onto the Internet coupling traditional TV with today’s interactive experience that everyone says they want. Plus the name is really cool.
Okay – we love this new technology too – it turns your Blackberry into an audio conferencing tool. You use the Blackberry to control the conference call. So essentially you can bring in callers from any remote location – if they drop off, bring them back in, they don’t have to. You can even mute that guy who is in standing in traffic or running through security so you don’t have to hear “take off your belt, shoes and remove any coins or keys from your pockets” voice. You can even record it and then have it downloaded to Ring2.com’ site and send it to everyone who forgot what their action item was. Pure bliss. Check it out.
According to NY Times article, consumers are demanding more when it comes to their STB.
Steve Jobs today at MacWorld in Las Vegas announced the iPhone – to unite everything. It’s what we all have been waiting for.

Yesterday, I, Jennifer Hicks of ink Communications, flew to San Francisco in the morning to have a meeting for 3 hours only to get back on the same plane, at the same gate I had arrived in 3.5 hours earlier and flew back to Boston. Ah, the miracle of modern aviation. I nearly forgot where I was at lunch staring out the bay, it took me a minute to realize I was on the OTHER coast. Last night when I touched down in THIS coast, I pondered today’s work hours and how business never really stops anymore.
This from CEO of Interntainer, Jonathan Taplin, who said that “Intertainer was the leader of the idea of entertainment on demand over internet platforms before Google was even thought up.”

We think that it’s really cool when people get to express their creative selves and still make a living. That being said, we think it’s double cool when it happens in the technology sector as it does with Tracy Swedlow.
Tracy is the editor of ITVT today – a highly well-read online pub about the doings and comings and goings in the ITV industry – thus the name. To top it all off, she is an artist and has finally gotten the chance to merge her artistic abilities with her work and the result is her new event which is called TV of Tomorrow. The cool thing is that she has a call for artists to interpret, create or criticize what the theme of TV of Tomorrow means to them.
According to the Mobile Data Association (MDA) text messaging broke the 200 million messages per day barrier for the first time in the UK over the Christmas holiday -
The Mobile Data Association (MDA) says that 205 million person-to-person texts were sent on Christmas Day, that averages to 8 million texts per hour. New Year’s Day? They were even higher, with an 214 million P2P text messages sent between midnight, 31 December 2006 and midnight, 1 January 2007, an average of 9m texts per hour. And this under the influence of cheap champagne and dozens of pints of something we are sure – who knows who or what they were texting – but we sure would like to see the content!
Which are the sneakest in terms of getting out of obligation? Weigh in, we want to hear it.
