Businesses Discover Skype
prostoalex writes "Businesses are starting to pay closer attention to Skype as executives discover that VoIP application can cut the long distance and international call costs. News.com mentions two companies - Aruba Wireless Networks and Ruhrpumpen. The former placed a Skype button on its Web page, the latter put the Skype usernames in its intranet employee directory."
That's pretty impressive. Next thing you know, businesses will be walking and talking.
Aruba Wireless Networks and Ruhrpumpen
Ruhrpumpen. Best company name ever. Bet they have many Blinkenlights.
it's about time the people that can really benefit from this technology take note of it. hopefully the savings will be passed down to the consumer?
... corporate executives start to realise it's cheaper to use the internal phone system than calling their employees from their mobile whenever they're both inside the building ;)

You could've hired me.
My company switched to a VOIP solution a few months ago.
Now, when our server crashes, our phones go out.
Sweet.
My boss frequently skypes me.
Yet another verbing of an innocent noun.
It puts the Skype button on its webpage, or it gets the hose again.

"Yet another verbing of an innocent noun."
Yet another instance of a noun being changed into a verb.
