Technically Speaking

Voyager was unveiled yesterday. Is it the answer to the iPhone. Kind of looks like it might be, only the fact that Verizon likes to censor your data as discussed yesterday. That in itself is a no sell in my mind. As far as iPhone clones go, this will be the first of many, so Apple better innovate again or at least lower their price point.

Free Music - Well let’s hope for music’s sake alone, that never comes to pass. If that ever happens, forget about artists ever releasing any music. They may as well just go on tour forever. Let people pirate them, and than find them and shake them down for a cut of the bootleg profits. I saw the article yesterday on the Radiohead experiment. This should be quite interesting. If the demand keeps the price at least in the $0.79 range I would say they won, and there will be a new business model to follow. One point that I do agree with is that with the p2p sharing, you sometimes end up with total crap.

Facebook - Is it just a great theory and we are all along for the ride? Well count me in, as I always told my band members - hang on for the ride, the train has left the station. No idea why I use the “train” example, but if Facebook fails, it won’t be for quite some time. There are far too many companies with a vested interest to let the “train” crash anytime soon.

Technically Speaking, that was all that interested me so far this morning. If you feel any of them belong as a GMAFB, by all means go post it now as I have some people looking over the site in the next day or so. Sign Up to post, vote, and comment! Here are 34 that need a break.

Pronto! is the new communications package by a company called CommuniGate. So what do they do? Pronto! is a single dashboard, for e-mail, collaboration, secure instant messaging, RSS feeds, and Rich Media! The high performance CommuniGate Pro Server is easy to install (without IT support) and is ultra reliable.

Now what really makes this cool is for a limited time - they are giving it away for FREE! Yes, up to five licenses are FREE right now. Pronto! is one of the industry’s first (and lightest weight) Flash-based replacements for Microsoft Outlook, which ties email, VM, IM, VoIP, video, audio, games, etc., all into one sleek package—right in the browser.

When connected to the company’s CommuniGate Pro Server software, businesses can run a nearly maintenance free email and integrated media platform, providing a more productive experience with all the features they are used too and many more. As far as server and installation with this, it runs on any server system, is a small package and simple to use and maintain. It’s a great fit for the SOHO or SMB that doesn’t have the IT bandwidth or even with an IT department, it frees up time and resources.

Smoking hot with my readers here! I have given away the last of my premium account keys just moments ago. For those that missed the announcement of the 3 free keys, I wish you better luck next time.

Technically Speaking, I hope to get some more free keys to give away soon. I gave away a total of 8 of them. To those users that snagged ‘em - happy GigaTribing!

I posted the first call for giving away FREE Premium GigaTribe accounts a little bit ago. Now it took awhile for people to find that post, but slowly over the past week or so, people have snatched up the FREE Premium accounts.

In the far right column, you will see “Pages”. Under that, click on the Contact Us link. You MUST send me an e-mail, as the GigaTribe people need to activate your FREE Premium access with a valid e-mail address.
