Carnival of Emerging Technologies #1
Welcome to the Carnival of Emerging Technologies. Although response to the first edition of this carnival is average, I am sure that it will become more popular soon. Here are the posts that have been selected to be featured on this week’s carnival.
Mr Credit Card presents Review of Vonage VOIP Phone Service posted at Ask Mr Credit Card’s Blog. According to the writer, Vonage offers the most value for
the money. It was cheaper than Verizon VoiceWing. Comast does not have their phone service yet (it is still more expensive) and a couple of other VOIP services that are much cheaper are not so well known.
Clint James presents The 411 on Google’s 411 posted at Static Cure. Google released Google 411 this week to help counteract all of the relatively expensive information services that you are connected to after dialing the ubiquitous three digits.
Raj presents Wallet Meet Phone, Phone Meet Wallet at Chameleon TechnoBabble. Cell phones in North America will increasingly be used as wallets as mobile banking technology makes its way here. There are a number of ways that payments can be made, though the one likely to become prominent is NFC (Near Field Communications) technology.
Priya Jestin presents Hot, Hotter, Hottest: Top 50 Amazing VoIP Gadgets at VoIP Lowdown. The chunky telephones that characterized the days of Graham Bell have undergone a sea of change and evolved to become sleek, cool, compact and good-looking handsets today. VoIP handsets eliminate the need for separate microphones and headsets – they provide seamless integration with the call network, so much so that you hardly know the difference between a VoIP and traditional telephone call.
Pushpa Sathish presents Will RFID Conquer Outer Space? at RFID Lowdown. Are RFID tags robust enough to survive the extreme conditions in outer space? That’s what NASA is attempting to find out when Endeavour takes off to the International Space Station in July later this year.
That concludes the first edition of the Carnival of Emerging Technolgies. Keep submitting your posts to the future editions of this carnival. Thanks for your support and contribution.
