		<description>Interesting option for ring2skype.
Its a local number + an extension.
They seem to provide the service for free.
The questions that begs an answer is what is or will be there revenue stream?
Nobody does anything for free...
They claim (in the FAQ&#039;s) that they divide the cost of a local number across 990 users (extensions) so its very cheap - on a per line basis.  OK!
What&#039;s the catch ?
Once they get enough users on the service are they are going to force people calling in to get a marketing message?</description>

		<description>I am very uncomfortable about this idea from Google.  Although the principle is fantastic, the implementation would only work in a perfect world of honest people.  I see it having a very high chance of being manipulated or biased by people with bad intentions.

We&#039;ve heard of the &quot;Digg&quot; or &quot;Slashdot&quot; effect.  It not only has the power to prosper and an individual&#039;s reputation or business - it also has the power to impact it badly too.

Some people may not be ready to handle the onslaught.</description>

		<description>They got that through just in time!  It&#039;s a bit tougher to do on-site promotions now that Facebook has updated their promotion guidelines (November 4).  They no longer allow promotions without written approval: http://www.facebook.com/promotions_guidelines.php
Hopefully that link helps others finding this article, who may also be interested in Facebook social media marketing.</description>

		<description>It&#039;s about time they developed a system like this. I like how they&#039;re streamlining the process for easier access and greater usability overall.  It used to be very time-consuming and clumsy to post reviews from mobile devices.

Let&#039;s hope this new app catches on!  It would be interesting to know how the business owners feel about this.</description>

		<description>You could get a virtual number from virtufon.com and point it directly to your skype account name (don&#039;t need a SkypeIn number) and this will save you some cash.  The virtual number seems to work well - they let you test it, and it&#039;s a free trial for 10 days. I haven&#039;t officially tested it yet.

$7/month for virtufon.com and $3/month US/Canada unlimited calling from skype = $10/month</description>

		<description>I surely understand why many webmasters don&#039;t like SideWiki and fear that competitors will use it to add comments to your site that will be as helpful as the comments that graffiti artists add to bathroom walls.

You should monitor the SideWiki comments on your own site(s) closely and act promptly on negative comments. There are now tools available that can monitor SideWiki comments for you, and alert you when new comments are posted.
