More people are working at home. Businesses are struggling to figure out new ways to communicate internally, with partners, and their client/consumer audience. When a company sends people home to work, I think there is more to the effort than just giving them network access. I think we need to reconsider how we communicate and what needs to be communicated.
Over the last year I’ve been working intensely with telephony apps which integrate with MV – and I’ve blogged on this topic as well. This includes voice in/out and SMS in/out. If you have any interest in adding telephone or texting access into your app, check this out…
I wrote a while back about what one of our clients is doing with SMS. Since then we have taken their SMS to a completely new level.

But to my knowledge there are no packaged offerings that allow people to do this simply and “out of the box”. So here is […]
Many of you know that I’ve been doing more work with Twilio over the last few months. I’ve been progressing slowly simply for lack of time but things are starting move more quickly. We’re starting to look toward near-term deployment of new apps based on the Twilio platform. These are intended toward a general consumer audience. While it’s completely unrelated […]
If you’re a .NET developer and interested in Facebook development, the FBGraph.NET SDK is definitely going to be of value. Keep an eye on the project for when it gets published. Here are today’s notes
In the U2 forum the question was asked “Has anyone implemented Microsoft TAPI in a Universe application?” Let’s call this a FAQ and reword it as “How do we connect anything to an MV DBMS?” It doesn’t matter if you have Universe, jBase, D3, or QM.
