MoNage

Last week, I attended and spoke at the second iteration of Jeff Pulver’s Monage conference in San Jose – Messaging on the Net. I did the same at the first one last fall, and for more context about Jeff and his event, here’s my UCStrategies writeup about it. At that event, I talked about how “messaging is the new voice,” and I’d say that view was largely validated in San Jose.

Messaging is the trend du jour in our space, and the digital divide was on full display at last week's event in Boston. There's a reason why Jeff Pulver decided it was time to move on from VoIP several years back, just as there's a reason why messaging is his focus now. For more on that, I'll be publishing an interview I did with Jeff at the event soon - stay tuned. Let's get back to last week.
