Understanding Voip Technology by Greg Chadwick

Do you know what VOIP stands for? If not, you are not alone. This is a relatively obscure term if you are not familiar with technology. VOIP stands for "voice over Internet Protocol." And again if you do not know much about the internet or technology this may not mean much to you. Simply put, VOIP is nothing more than the ability to transmit voice traffic over an IP network. So more or less you will be using your internet connection as a way to make phone calls. Does that make more sense?
There is one main reason why VOIP has become so popular from one end of the world to the next. This being the fact that you can save a lot of money by using a VOIP service instead of your land based telephone or cell phone. Generally speaking, most people pay a monthly rate to use the land based phone line that is in their home. And to add onto this they also have to pay a per minute rate for each long distance call that they make. This may not seem like that big of a deal if you do not make a lot of long distance calls, but if you do you know just how expensive this habit can be. In the past there was really no alternative to paying this rate. You may have been able to buy a long distance plan, but again they can be very costly.
Enter VOIP technology. With VOIP technology you can place phone calls over your internet connection instead of having to use your land based line. And the best part of the VOIP is that you will only have to pay a flat fee. By paying that fee you have the ability to make calls to anybody in the world without ever having to pay any additional charges. This can save companies and individuals hundreds or maybe even thousands of dollars over the course of a year.
If you are interested in making VOIP calls there are three ways that you can get connected to do so. You can use a phone that is designed for VOIP use, a standard telephone with the addition of a VOIP adapter, or a computer that has a microphone and speaker setup. The choice of which option you use is up to you. If you already have a computer with a microphone and speakers you may want to go that route so you do not have to pay any additional money to get set up.
Being that VOIP technology is becoming very popular you should not have any problems finding a service provider. A simple internet search on the phrase "VOIP" will give you everything that you need in order to get started.
Since VOIP technology is still relatively new, it will be interesting to see how many people decide to use this service as time moves on. One thing is for sure; it is a great way to save money on your phone bill.

Steve Irwin (Crocodile Hunter) Dies

The wonderful personality and character that was Steve Irwin (the crocodile hunter) is no longer with us and I for one will miss him. He brought with him a wonderful zest and energy for life and I'm sure at times it energized and invigorated us all.

With the dangerous pursuit that he routinely made appear safe and all to casual, there was always the feeling that he was infallible and would never find himself endangered. Such was not the case as one of the more innocuous creatures that he has dealt with, a stingray, was responsible for his death.

Again, I shall miss him a lot! Here are some photos of the popular Steve as we remember him.
