Another “Skype”? – Gizmo Project
do you use Gizmo? or do you have the experience to use it ever?
according to Scott Granneman, at his article at securityfocus.com, Gizmo seems a skype-killer, a real alternative to skype, just like what Yahoo comments.
how about your view point and experience? share with me, with us?
This looks EXCELLENT. I’m glad I go through posts in my dashboard occasionally

I’m adding your feed to my RSS Reader and will keep up, thank you for this post, and Bill C. for your comment!
I am now the proud owner of a virtual number in the state I’m moving too, and the features look perfect!
Thanks again.
Thanks the great info share from Bill.
according to Scott, Gizmo uses open standards, such as SIP for its VoIP signal, Jabber for its IM, and encrypts its traffic.
funding is not a problem for a startup with perfect technology. it depends only on its management team.
Hey Richard!
Project Gizmo is an interesting product. I have tested it. I like it. It has a lots of potential. With a lot of imagination it could be a Skype Killer. But I doubt it.
The Project lacks decent funding compared to Google. There are some huge technical hurdles to overcome. P2P architecture with supernodes to connect users and end2end encrytion.
Assuming the Gizmo people could do it in a year the game will be over. Skype will have 150 million users on it global network. Skype will so dominate the voice on the net space they will be unstopable.
Still Gizmo and Google should press on… Skype could have a misstep. Skype is very fragile right now. The heat is on. One misstep and if someone has the technology ready they could take over.
