You've got to hand it to Andy Abramson. He's got a finger in every pie at some of the most innovative voice startups in the world. He hobnobs with the who's who of the VoIP world ranging from big carriers to tiny startups and everywhere in between. And, to top it all off, VoIP-News named him to their list of the top 20 VoIP influencers for 2007.
Perhaps the greatest testament to Andy's influence, however, is to be found in the list itself. No fewer than 7 of the folks listed on that list are in some way related to or clients of Andy's agency, Comunicano.
Not bad. Not bad at all.
And congratulations to my friends Jeff Pulver, Thomas Howe, Lee Drysburgh, the Digium Team, Stephane Marceau, Craig Walker, and James Body, all of whom were similarly recognized.

There’s nothing better than seeing your company’s name in print. VoIP-News released their list of the 25 “most interesting” VoIP startups, and iotum made the list. Huzzah! Here’s what they had to say:
Iotum
When the phone rings, who is it? Is the caller scheduled to be part of a teleconference? Has the person called three times this hour? Is the caller your boss, or someone else who ought to override your Do Not Disturb feature?
Iotum, a VoIP service on the Asterisk platform, tries to define the relevance of a VoIP call as it arrives at your desk.
Iotum is worth watching because the company has just released Talk-Now, a next-generation product for the Blackberry. IT’s potentially revolutionary because it lets users share their availability with some, but not all of their contacts, and eliminates phone tag by allowing users to know when the people they need to talk to are available to take their calls.
