Vonage’s new cheap overseas call options

Vonage customers in the USA and six other countries (Canada, UK, Mexico, Spain, Italy, France) can now take advantage of Vonage’s new feature called V-Access which allows Vonage customers in any of those countries to call other Vonage customers at local call rates. V-Access also allows non-US customers to call U.S. 1-800 phone numbers.

This will definately make Vonage look good. I suspect it is a more appealing option to potential Vonage users in the UK and Canada. Although, US businessmen will definately be taking a look at Vonage’s V-Access service, too!

Anothr.com offers RSS feeds via Skype

I’ve recently stumbled upon an application called Anothr which allows you to use Skype as an RSS feed reader. RSS is becoming an increasingly mainstream way of getting the latest news and articles as soon as they become available (I use Bloglines, btw).

Basically, everytime an RSS feed you subscribe to is updated, your Skype client rings and provides you with a link to the article. Very handy… but, as I subscribe to heaps of RSS feeds, I don’t know if I’d like my Skype to ring all he time.
