VoxOx Wins ITEXPO West 2009 Best Of The Show In Consumer Category.

ITEXPO West 2009
Another winner and one that is familiar to us, is VoxOx, created by Telecentris Inc. Even though the service is still in beta, it managed to secure it's winners place. 
The VoxOx brings together voice, video, IM, text, social media, e-mail, fax, usual tools of the trade of todays world, be it stationary or mobile, into a single user interface. For me the VoxOx brings easier method of keeping in touch with my collegues, family and friends during my travels, local and international, which happens at least, once a month.
But there are other tools that everybody els might find useful and valuable, such as a personal assistant, which answers, screens and routes calls based on individual preferences; worldwide two-way texting from the user's VoxOx phone number; instant messenger integration; enhanced social networking support for Twitter, Facebook, MySpace.
All you need for all the convenience is a phone capable of doing what you need and a wireless service. You will not be missing your internet connection! (There is one time need to access VoxOx via internet to register your SIM if you happend to change your SIM on the go.)
On the occasion of  being honored with the award, Bryan Hertz, CEO and co-founder of TelCentris said, "We're honored to be recognized by TMCnet as the leading free service for helping consumers solve communication overload, No other service combines so many key communication channels into one place so consumers can take control of their interconnected lifestyle.

VoxOx V2 Offers New Features, Performance Upgrades

VoxOx Two
Telecentris has released feature and advance perfomance capability packed, socially inclined communication app, VoxOx 2 this month. We were hooked to the app, when we tested the VoxOx 1.0.1 last December and were very happy with the results. We all are looking forward to test the version two once all of us get it installed / upgraded. The application is offered in both windows and MAC platform and we only wish that they offered a Linux VoxOx version as many of us are Linux users. But no worries, we all have multiple machines with different OSes.
Following is the press release;

VoxOx, the first and only free consumer service that unifies today's key communication channels — voice, video, IM, text, social media, e-mail, fax and more — into a single user interface, today unveiled its much enhanced second generation release - VoxOx 2, currently in beta. VoxOx 2 incorporates some highly anticipated new features, such as a Personal Assistant, which answers, screens and routes calls based on individual preferences; worldwide two-way texting from the user's VoxOx phone number; IM integration for Skype, Facebook and MySpace, all in one interface; and enhanced social networking support for Twitter, Facebook, MySpace and much more. The performance of VoxOx 2 is significantly improved with faster load time, more streamlined user interface and less memory consumption. VoxOx 2 also offers full two-way network and contact syncing into the cloud.

VoxOx solves the fundamental challenge of communication overload due to the exponential growth of disparate communication channels. According to Neptop Research, during a typical week, 105 million Americans participate in social media, and seven million Americans partake in six or more social media activities, and connect with at least 248 people on a one-to-many basis. Mobile Marketer estimates that more than 30 billion messages are sent on IM and social networks every single day.

―The explosive growth we've experienced since our initial beta launch just seven months ago validates the need for a product like VoxOx, and with VoxOx 2's enhanced features, functionality and performance, we will continue to solve the communication challenges of consumers worldwide, said Bryan Hertz, CEO of TelCentris, Inc. the company that created VoxOx. ―Judging by our recent win of the Stevie's ‗Best Software Product of 2009' award, and positive user feedback, VoxOx is truly solving consumers' communication overload and will continue to innovate the world's first and only Universal Communicator.

VoxOx 1.0.1 Beta Reviewed

http://snapvoip.blogspot.com/
Tom Keating from TMC has a Review of new socially inclined communication app, VoxOx. I have checked the application out but have not installed or tested the application yet. So the Mr. Keating's review comes in handy.
Perhaps we can get whole family together on Chistmas Eve to say hello and give virtual hugs with VoxOx, perhaps yes. But according to Tom, the integration with facebook is functional in the new version. Tom also checked the initial release, Skype Killer version. You can read about it at Tom Keatings blog at TMC.
