Lately it seems like there is endless news around messaging, VoIP and video calling. Apple recently announced they?d added FaceTime support�for the Mac, and had shipped 19 million FaceTime-enabled iOS devices since June. Google Voice also made headlines last week for�an outage, but I think the bigger news associated with that downtime is how fast they?ve been growing. And there?s been a flurry of startup activity around messaging and communication as well, such as the super innovative�GroupMe releasing an�Android App. The resounding theme from all these seemingly disparate announcements is that messaging, voice, video, and chatting applications are on fire. Sure, we all use social media, but it sure hasn?t dampened people?s affinity for texting or making a call.
