Cistera Networks.According to a recent CIO Magazine, fully 86% of
CIOs knew what Unified Communications was. When asked to explain
what Unified Communications was, only a small fraction could
actually define it. Greg argues that their is too much
preoccupation with personal productivity tools with UC and not
enough discussion about team based processes for unified
communications. Greg outlines the future of unified communications
and a definition that makes sense.

While the Apple iPhone Train continues to capture the imagination
of the consumer smartphone market, there are a number of companies,
such as Blackberry, Microsoft, and Palm battling it out in the
business smartphone market. What is less well known is that there
is an Open Source Mobility platform that is making waves in Europe.
Funambol is a company and an open source community dedicated to
making further mobile device interoperability progress through
support of open standards such as SyncML. Fabrizio Capobianco, a
serial entrepreneur and veteran executive at Reuters and Tibco, is
CEO of Funambol. He founded the first Italian Web company, Internet
Graffiti, in 1994. He also founded Stigma Online, developer of an
information portal product with customers that included Kraft,
Novartis, Italian Broadcasting Television and the Italian Stock
Exchange. Capobianco has taught courses on wireless and mBusiness
strategies at the University of Pavia in Italy, where he holds a
Ph.D. in computer science with a focus on usability. Fabrizio was
recognized in 2007 as a top "40 under 40" leader by American
Venture Magazine and by the readers of Mobile Village for being a
consumer email visionary. This weeks song is âTelephone Lineâ by
Robyn Tymm from the United Kingdom. This interview is courtesy of

why, when it comes getting our attention, bad or bizarre ideas are
more successful than boring ones. And early adopters, not the

Seth Godin: Sliced bread and other marketing delightsIn a world of
too many options and too little time, our obvious choice is to
ignore the ordinary stuff. Marketing guru Seth Godin spells out
why, when it comes getting our attention, bad or bizarre ideas are
more successful than boring ones. And early adopters, not the
mainstream's bell curve, are the new sweet spot of the market."Seth
Godin may be the ultimate entrepreneur for the Information Age,"
Mary Kuntz wrote in Business Week nearly a decade ago. "Instead of
widgets or car parts, he specializes in ideas -- usually, but not
always, his own." In fact, he's as focused on spreading ideas as he
is on the ideas themselves.After working as a software brand
manager in the mid-1980s, Godin started Yoyodyne, one of the first
Internet-based direct-marketing firms, with the notion that
companies needed to rethink how they reached customers. His efforts
caught the attention of Yahoo!, which bought the company in 1998
and kept Godin on as a vice president of permission marketing.
Godin has produced several critically acclaimed and
attention-grabbing books, including Permission Marketing, All
Marketers Are Liars, and Purple Cow (which was distributed in a
milk carton). In 2005, Godin founded Squidoo.com, a Web site where
users can share links and information about an idea or topic
important to them.David Ippolito and 'Talk Louder - The Cell Phone
Song'is courtesy of music.podshow.com. VOIP Panel: Quality, Ease of
Use, SecurityStuart Chesire and Benjamin Kowarsch discuss Zeroconf
and Bonjour, which make Asterisk clusters work without asking users
to perform complex configuration. Installations of these server
clusters could make wifi VOIP in hotels many times easier to
deploy.VOIP has only recently become practical, with the
comprehensive rollout of broadband to consumers. Wireless roaming
is still a challenge. Matthew Gast examines why VOIP is so hard in
802.11 networks. The trick is making VOIP devices act more like
cell phones, making load balancing and roaming easier.Whenever
potentially sensitive conversations are broadcast over the air,
encryption is critical. Philip Zimmermann, the creator of PGP
encryption, takes a look at the history of public key
infrastructures and concludes that the industry needs to move away
from centrally managed key servers. He presents his solution to
VOIP encryption, including the ability to detect eavesdropping.

In Episode 19, The talk of two Malcolms, Malcolm Gladwell spoke of
the genius of Howard Moskowitz and his ability to fundamentally
grasp the nature of consumer taste. In this episode we continue the
thread of Product Design and Consumer Behavior with an interview
with Howard. How do companies figure out what consumers want? For
example, when you look at all the different types of spaghetti
sauce in the grocery store, do you wonder how the endless varieties
were developed? In many cases, the companies may have just guessed,
but they also may have used methods developed by Howard Moskowitz,
an expert in the field of psychophysics, and author of the upcoming
book Selling Blue Elephants. Howard Moskowitz is the CEO of
i-Novation Inc as well as President of Moskowitz Jacobs Inc., a
firm he founded in 1981. He is both a well-known experimental
psychologist in the field of psychophysics and an inventor of
world-class market research technology. We also reach back into the
archives for a 1954 General Motors Chevrolet sponsored short film
entitled "What Mr Bell had in mind". This features DON AMECHE
recreating his famous movie role as Alexander Graham Bell. Mr Bell
discusses proper telephone etiquette.The music features Robin Tymm

mobility platforms is not the only hurdle faced by consumers and
open source advocates--government legislation and the complexity of
managing your identity are also holding back innovation. At the
2006 Emerging Telephony Conference, Bill Weinberg, Brad Templeton,
and Johannes Ernst discuss some of the difficulties open telephony
must overcome. Learn about the adoption of open platforms, the
innovation-killing CALEA law, and how we can take back control over
our digital identities. This is courtesy of IT Conversations
