A lively and interactive Squawk Box from San Jose California today!
We discussed Lifestream Aggregators — FriendFeed, Twitter, Plaxo Pulse and so on. There were a few people who shared their experiences, good and bad.
We also discussed Broadsoft's new eXtended — a platform play to compete with Ribbit in the web telephony mashup space.
And lastly, we debated whether native applications are really needed on mobile devices. Was all the ballyhoo around Apple's SDK warranted?

Carbon Twelve, the innovative builder of toolbars for the Broadsoft platform has been acquired by Broadsoft. Ever since I encountered Carbon Twelve a year ago, I wondered how long until this would happen. Their products, miPA and miReceptionist, were good, but intimately tied to Broadsoft. First inklings that there might be something up? Ray Trevisan, Carbon Twelve’s former VP of Sales, sent me a Plaxo card a couple of weeks ago to say that he had recently started consulting in his company OTG PTY Limited.
