Raketu new P2P VoIP app takes on Skype
September 12, 2006
RaketuIs Raketu the next Skype killer? Raketu today launched a new VoIP client that also offers information and entertainment services. Raketu’s communications features include dialout calling (rakOut) to landline/mobile phones, Instant Messaging (supporting Raketu, Yahoo, MSN, AOL, ICQ, Google and Skype), SMS-text messaging, and file transfers/sharing.

Raketu's information features include news, sports, weather, stock feeds, and an advanced internet and travel searching facility. Raketu’s entertainment features include a podcast reader/player, games, and a full featured multi-media player with karaoke. Raketu supports click-to-call, click-to-im, click-to-sms, global online presence, and enhanced social networking features. I even noticed the software supports plugins, including games such as the classic Battleships game. I guess this would be Web 2.0 meets VoIP 2.0. Still missing some of my "cool" features for the perfect unified communications client.

"Home Buying Goes High Tech"

by Katherine Dykstra

September 14, 2006 -- It's only a matter of time before the real-estate community adopts Bluetooth technology to beam specifics - asking price, square footage, etc. - to the cell phones of home-hunting passersby. Until then, here are the next best things:

- Streeteasy.com: Once Streeteasy.com catches on with brokers and is able to beef up its database, the site could be indispensable. Not only are rentals and sales searchable by neighborhood, price range and size, they can be narrowed down by school district and even building style. Find maps, neighborhood profiles, stats on comparable homes in the vicinity and info on price reductions. On the horizon? Video walkthroughs.
