We're dealing with a flood of TC and HN visitors and sign-ups, hence my response above. I was going to come back and expound a bit more, but thanks for the elaboration.

First, onsip requires SIP handsets. With our virtual system ( http://profig.com/virtual-phone-system ), you don't need anything other than your current phones, even cell phones. You can be up and running in minutes. Second, if you do need S

Plivo is an API. We're a GUI. We're Plivo's target customer (in fact, we're built on top of plivo). Our target customers are businesses who want a powerful, affordable business phone system but don't want to spend time worrying about setup.

Amazon also had years to perfect it's apparel and shoes service. That didn't stop zappos from kicking ass. And look how that turned out. The idea that an incumbent, by default, can't do something because an entrenched giant can't is laughab

Last October, Graham said that the firm was seeing about one submission per minute for the most recent class. Is this right? It sounds wrong. Or was it just on the last day of submissions or something?
