Wednesday Links: Ooma Out?

Source: www.voip-news.com

Ooma is huge news around the blogosphere this week. First, Valleywag (think National Enquirer meets DrudgeReport) dishes about speculation that the company is failing … in an aptly tagged piece — Deathwatch. The blogosphere has caught on quickly and the rumor is flying like hot fire. What do you think? Is Ooma a goner?

In less grave news, the Voip Weblog is talking about technology that could help you have a phone call without speaking . . . all you’d need to do is think that you want to say. K, it’s April and I figured I might have missed this on, oh, the first . . . but nope, this is for real. Kinda eerie, no?

And just when I thought I had seen enough for the day . . . Human VoIP shows a new product that could bring smell-o-vision to life.  Ew.
