QQ Shoes
From virtual shoes to real life shoes. QQ the leading IM in China is launching QQ shoes. Pacific Epoch reports that QQ users not satisfied with the virtual QQ clothing for their avatars can now purhase real life QQ branded sneakers. Sneaker manufacturer Sansda will produce them but they will not be available until 2008. I guess we all have to wear our virtual QQ sneakers until then. Hope they will not wear out by then...

Skype Has Been Hacked
Mike is reporting that the Skype protocol has been hacked by Chinese company. There is now a Skype clone in China. Why am I not surprised? There are full of clever programmers in China.. Last year I visited a totally unknown Chinease VoIP company and made a call from via their service home to my wifes mobile phone in Israel. The quality was fantastic. Much better than Skype's

Everybody going IM, MySpace and VoIP crazy
What is happening? Everybody is going IM, MySpace, VoIP crazy! AOL announced their IM-based AOL Phoneline service , MySpace launched their own IM-client , AOL then counters with the alleged MySpace-killer - AIM Pages, to be finally be followed by Windows Live Messenger Beta.
To be honest, nothing new under then sun, more than copy cat-variation-on-a-theme stuff. The AIM-pages will hardy be a MySpace killer - let's face it AIM is big but has no cool factor - just plain vanilla community. AOL Phoneline, might be a good one, considering that Skype has never really taken off in the US (due to the low cost on national phone calls). Free-inbound costs might make a difference. What about MySpace then, yet another IM? How many do we need to have on our desktop? I can understand that a big online community prefers their own IM client, but still..
Finally the Live Messenger. I downloaded the beta, and I like the look and feel of it, but except for the access to shared files, drag & drop files, address book etc what is really new here? Still, I do like the look n' feel of it, much better than the previous one. Ah and yes, you can make phone calls via a USB– phone as well – that is actually really good – although I will continue to use my Olympia Skype Phone.
