We'll be doing a little load testing on the iotum FREE Conference Call application tomorrow afternoon. I've invited 39 of my friends to join me on a test call. With a little luck, the facebook viral gods will turn my 39 friends into 390 or so as they each tell two friends and so on and so on and so on… We'll be paying homage to the Breck Girls, if you're old enough to remember them.
So, if you would like to join us, and you're on Facebook, please feel free to add the following conference call to your schedule. Invite two friends too! It promises to be fun, and it should only take 10 or 15 minutes.

Montreal's Mobivox is making news again this morning, with the appointment of Nitzan Shaer as COO. Shaer will also join the Mobivox board.
Shaer's background?
- EIR at IDG Ventures in Boston
- Head of Skype Mobile, where he led development and marketing efforts that made Skype available on leading mobile phone platforms, including Nokia, Motorola and Windows Mobile.
- Product management at Microsoft where he managed development of three emerging businesses in the company's embedded and mobile division.
Does this presage marketing agreements with handset manufacturers? Perhaps. Mobivox is somewhat unique in that it requires no cooperation from handset manufacturers to go to market. Or possibly Mobivox is trying to forge a stronger relationship with Skype as they begin their push into the handset space.
Either way, it will certainly be interesting to see how this plays out.
