Phonevite takes the concept a bit further by offering anyone the ability to record messages on the <a
href="http://www.phonevite.com">Phonevite</a> website or by phone and send that message not only to one number but up to 25 numbers at once in the free version.</p><p>It can be used to send reminders and alerts to your phone so that you are reminded about a specific event in the future but it can also be used to send invites or reminders to a bunch of people. The service is currently only available to users that live in the United States of America who can send and receive messages by phone. It is however possible to record a message on the website and send it to individuals that live in the United States which makes it a nice tool for everyone who wants to contact someone in the USA.</p><p>A microphone is required to record messages on the website directly. Those messages are saved on the Internet and can be sent to phone numbers later on. Phone numbers can be added manually or taken from so called phone groups that contain a number of saved phone numbers. It would make sense for example to have a family and friends groups in there.</p><p><span

RSVP means Répondez s&#8217;il vous plaît which means something like Reply Please. Recipients can be asked to reply to the message with a Yes, No or Maybe which comes in handy for invitations or meetings.</p><p>Calls can be scheduled but premium messages will always be prioritized over free messages which could mean that the free messages get delayed until the premium calls have been completed.</p><p>The main differences between free and premium accounts beside prioritization is the amount of simultaneous calls. Premium accounts can make up to 2000 calls at once while free accounts have a 25 call limit. On the other hand each Premium call costs $0.05.</p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.ghacks.net/2008/07/13/send-reminders-alerts-and-invitations-with-phonevite/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>3</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Record Skype Calls</title><link>http://www.ghacks.net/2008/04/02/record-skype-calls/</link> <comments>http://www.ghacks.net/2008/04/02/record-skype-calls/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Wed, 02 Apr 2008 07:35:06 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Martin Brinkmann</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Operating Systems]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Software]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Tools]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Windows]]></category> <category><![CDATA[call graph]]></category> <category><![CDATA[phone]]></category> <category><![CDATA[phone calls]]></category> <category><![CDATA[skype]]></category> <category><![CDATA[skype recorder]]></category> <guid

Skype does have some advantages over common Instant Messengers, you can call the &#8220;outside&#8221; world and have multi-user conferences. Me and two friends used to communicate in Skype when playing World of Warcraft and it did work quite well.</p><p>Record recording should be something build in Skype if you ask me. It&#8217;s a great way of keeping archives of phone conversations that can be useful in several situations. Unfortunately though there was not a completely free add-on that would record calls in Skype.</p><p>This has changed with the release of <a
href="http://callgraph.biz/">Call Graph</a>. This Skype add-on records phone conversations as mp3 files. The recorded conversations can be tagged for better identification.</p><p><span

Additional information about the calls are saved. The name of the user you have spoken to and the date and time. These information in combination with the tags make it easy to find calls of a specific user, date or tag.</p><p>I did not try it out but I suppose it is also possible to record Skype calls by using an audio software like Audacity. It&#8217;s a bit more complicated and not that automated but it should work fine as well.</p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.ghacks.net/2008/04/02/record-skype-calls/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>9</slash:comments> </item> </channel> </rss>
