Over the Thanksgiving holiday, I decided to spend a day in the yard raking up the last of my fall leaves. Not wanting to lose my belt-clipped cell phone during the process, I removed it, placed it on the counter and did my best to corral the leaves that ultimately would fill 23 yard bags.

Userplane is probably well under ranked as I do not think the data takes in to account the sites that Userplane supplies chat services too. Spinchat sits behind the other two, but there is no need to feel sorry for it as it still dwarfs the lower ranking sites.

Recently, I received an offer for Pay Per Play advertising. If you haven't heard of it, in a nutshell it is a 5 second audio commercial that will play each time a visitor hits your site. You will get paid for every visitor to your website, 100% conversion with nothing to do and nothing to click. To me, this concept is huge. TV and Radio have been doing this to us for years, whether or not we want to hear an advertisement, it is presented to us. The big corporate giants have been branding themselves this way on TV and radio for a millennium. Sure you can change the channel to avoid an advertisement, but; you have already heard the sponsors message. I get up and leave the room when the commercial stretch comes on during a program I'm watching. I have commented to my wife on numerous occasions that there are way too commercials during my favorite shows.

When you are in the director's chair at a voice-over session, the process can sometimes become a struggle for both you and the talent. You have a vision you need to share with the voice actor, a person who knows far less than you do about the product, message, or concept. At the same time, you hired that actor to bring his or her own unique skills to the project. Unlike the making of a film or a stage production, you do not have weeks to rehearse and analyze the script. The studio clock is ticking and that alone adds an element of anxiety to the recording session.

As I sat down to write this article I got a voice broadcast message on my phone. I let the machine grab it because I was busy. A couple of things came to my mind as I replayed the voice broadcast. First, the voice broadcast copy was pretty good. Second, the voice broadcast connected to me with neither the caller nor myself actually on the phone.
