        <title> Microsoft Mango Simplifies Social Media</title>
        <description><![CDATA[VoiceNation announces advantages of using social media to help promote your business.]]></description>
	<content><![CDATA[VoiceNation announces advantages of using social media to help promote your business.May 25, 2011 – The social media stamp of keeping in touch with friends has evolved into a key form of business marketing. Social media is being used as a highly effective business tool to help businesses promote themselves. If you do not currently have an account with a social networking site, now is the time to jump on board. Internet users are using social media to seek brands and products, and without a social network business account, your company is missing out on chances to be seen.Some find social media intimidating. &quot;There are so many sites, how do I choose the right one for my business? How will I have time to keep them all up-to-date? Is there a way to streamline all the different forms of media? It's so overwhelming.&quot; Microsoft has addressed these concerns with the launch of their latest iteration of the Windows Phone mobile OS, Mango. &quot;Mango makes any Windows Phone a social media machine,&quot; Microsoft says.According to Microsoft company reps, Mango has about 500 new features, including social media integration, a linked inbox, and &quot;threads,&quot; which gather texts, Facebook chats and Windows Live Messenger snippets into a single conversation. The official Mango press release reads that the smartphone experience can often be a &quot;sea&quot; of disconnected apps, from calls, texts, email and instant messages to status updates, Tweets, check-ins, photo posting and tagging. To help people stay on top of that growing complexity, the Mango release organizes information around the person or group people want to interact with, not the app they have to use.With technology making it so easy for users to be intrigued and constantly engaged with social media, businesses need to take advantage of this free promotional tool. LinkedIn, a business-related social networking site recently reached 100 million users in March 2011. Facebook, for example, was originally created for students only, but has opened its arms to both non-student members and businesses over the past several years. According to Facebook:The site currently has over 600 million active users50% of active users log into Facebook every day The average user has 130 friendsPeople spend over 700 billion minutes per month on FacebookAbout 70% of Facebook users are outside the United StatesThere are more than 250 million active users currently accessing Facebook through their mobile devicePeople that use Facebook on their mobile device are twice as active on Facebook than non-mobile usersVoiceNation knows the importance of social networking. &quot;As the industry leader in telecommunications, we strive to develop the most innovative voice communications technology available. Our customers rely on our experience and expertise when utilizing our virtual PBX, voicemail, and live answering services. Social media is yet another way we can reach our customers to make sure we continue to exceed their expectations,&quot; states Jay Reeder, President of VoiceNation.VoiceNation utilizes social media to connect with their customers, offer current promotions, keep customers up-to-date on product offerings, and provide technical tips. VoiceNation has the reputation of being the industry expert and continues to grow their business with the help of social networking.About VoiceNation:VoiceNation, America's leader in virtual pbx and voicemail, was founded in 2002 by CEO Jay Reeder and opened their Next Generation call centers in 2009.

        <title> Is Your Home Office Secure?</title>
        <description><![CDATA[5 reasons why every home office depends on reliable technology.]]></description>
	<content><![CDATA[May 5th, 2011 – Today is a time when an increasing number of people are conducting business out of their home office. With the home office space a popular alternative, there comes many perks and benefits, such as keeping overhead low, the favorable tax deduction, and the simple pleasure of convenience. But when operating a business out of the home, there are two things a business owner needs to consider – company security and reliable technology. Technology gives us the capability to work from home knowing our business is secure. However, protecting your home and business today is not the same as it was 10 years ago.  Physical SecurityCriminals are getting smarter and the need for reliable protection is necessary. Advances in technology have evolved the virtual office, giving individuals the opportunity to work from home and run their business out of their home. Because of this, you now have personal valuables and confidential business information all in the same location. &quot;Staying a step ahead of an intruder is vital in the proper protection of your home and your business. A reliable security system and cellular monitoring will keep your home and business on the cutting edge of intrusion prevention technology,&quot; states Hunter Pardue, owner of Pardue Sound and Security. Internet SecurityIt is a common misconception among home owners that their home computer network is secure. After all, you initially had to set up a network password in order to access your home internet. Most people are unaware that their home office network is unprotected. There are two easy precautions that can be taken to avoid falling victim to harmful attacks to your computer and your data. Microsoft operating systems have a built-in firewall that helps monitor and protect internet traffic. This firewall should be turned ON to prevent hackers from accessing your network. Secondly, you need to protect your computer from harmful viruses and malware by installing an all-in-one anti-virus/anti-spyware/anti-malware software package. Microsoft offers applications for free like Windows Defender and Microsoft Security Essentials (MSE) that can be downloaded from their website. ThreatFire is another great program with great reviews, and is also available to download for free. Document SecurityEstablish your home office as &quot;your home office&quot;. It should be designated as your place to conduct business and your safe haven where you can productively carry out your job responsibilities. Important business documents lay on your desk, important files are hidden away in the filing cabinet and essential documents exist on your hard drive. Whether you are the business owner or an on-the-road sales representative, your job position and company depend on document security.Data SecurityThe company data could lie in your hands if you are the business owner. As an employee, your existing files support your existence with the company. Data backup can aid in the longevity of your company, preventing catastrophic termination. An external hard drive is a wise and economically appealing option to save your company in the event of mass destruction. Communication SecurityEffective communication begins with reliable solutions. No matter the physical location of your office, you need to trust that you have concrete methods to communicate with your customers. VoiceNation is an innovative telecommunications company that will customize and implement a virtual system to meet the specific needs of your business. Through Voicemail and live answering services, VoiceNation will ensure you never miss a call again, delivering prompt message retrial, vital in today's market place. The fundamentals of business security are no longer comparable to the past. In today's business world, companies must strive to protect themselves, utilizing advanced technology and the innovative services available.About VoiceNation:VoiceNation, America's leader in virtual PBX and voicemail was founded in 2002 by CEO Jay Reeder and opened their Next Generation call centers in 2009.

	<content><![CDATA[April 13, 2011 – For many small business owners, business is conducted in the office, on the road, and remotely from a home office. Business professionals rely on wireless mobile devices to connect them to the world, aiding in productivity and generating profits. Communication is vital in running a successful business and nothing is more frustrating than unexpected termination, otherwise known as a &quot;dropped call&quot; during an important phone conversation. There are many factors that determine your mobile phone's reception, such as proximity to a tower, weather, traffic volume, dead zones, underground areas such as tunnels, and obstructions including buildings, concrete walls and trees. You can also experience a dropped call during the handoff (when an ongoing conversation is transferred to another cell sites' area of coverage within the same network).A dropped call can be a huge inconvenience during meetings, conference calls, and sales calls, and can even do significant damage to business deals. In addition, a dependable connection grants quality customer service.  So what are cell phone providers doing to improve reception and help eliminate the amount of dropped calls?  AT&amp;T now offers a 3G MicroCell to enhance coverage indoors. The device acts as a mini cellular tower designed to boost signal strength for your business or home, supporting up to four users simultaneously. It connects to the AT&amp;T network via your existing internet service, requiring internet access and your 3G wireless phone. Verizon Wireless now offers the Verizon 4G LTE, giving exceptional speed and coverage to it's customers.At VoiceNation, we understand the importance of being connected, receiving incoming calls and retrieving your voice mails. Through a single virtual telephone number, the SimplyONE feature allows you to direct your incoming calls to forward to your office, home or cell, no matter your location. This feature also gives you the capability to obtain voice mail messages via email as a mp3 or wave file.

        <title> Today's Economy Receives a Boost</title>
        <description><![CDATA[Economists are encouraged by recent results of an economy on the rise.]]></description>
	<content><![CDATA[April 14, 2011 – The unemployment rate falls as jobs increase and retail sales grow, fueling the economy to take a positive spin. Despite previous expectations, many signs point to economic improvement. Brushing off the higher gas prices, averaging more than $3.50 per gallon in most states, consumers continue to shop. Major retailers, including Costco and Victoria Secret have seen an increase in sales as the year rolls forward. According to Washington economists, retail sales rose 0.5 percent last month, the ninth consecutive monthly gain. Consumer spending makes up 70 percent of the economy, a crucial part of recovery. When consumers spend more money; production demand increases, which results in the need for new job openings. The increase in retail sales also coincides with the best two months of employment growth since 2006, prior to the recession. Companies added more than 400,000 jobs in February and March, yet another first since 2006. Even though unemployment applications currently average 395,750 (peaked during the recession at 659,000), the application rate has dropped about 6 percent over the past two months. The government states that the number of people collecting benefits fell to 3.68 million during the week ending April 2, the lowest total since late September 2008. However, this total does not include the millions of people receiving aid under the emergency unemployment benefit programs, making the total number of people receiving unemployment benefits 8.5 million in the week ending March 26 - still a decrease from the previous week. According to The Department of Labor, the unemployment rate has now fallen to a two-year low of 8.8 percent, a full percentage point since November 2010.    During this stage of economic recovery, companies need to be prepared for a brighter future. VoiceNation, the leader in innovative technology, can take your business to new heights. VoiceNation moves beyond the traditional PBX and cell phone, enabling businesses of all sizes to handle high call volume through a customized solution with voicemail, virtual PBX and live answering service.Hiring is picking up. Many businesses, small and large have announced plans to increase hiring. Government officials reported that in February 2011, businesses posted the largest number of job openings in more than two years, advertising 3.1 million available jobs. Preparation is key to accommodating new business, so let VoiceNation assist you in your growth.  About Voice:VoiceNation, America's leader in virtual PBX and voicemail, was founded in 2002 by CEO Jay Reeder and opened their Next Generation call centers in 2009.

        <title> Facebook Strengthens Security for Your Protection</title>
        <description><![CDATA[Companies around the world are expanding their security options to increase internet safety.]]></description>
	<content><![CDATA[April 27, 2011 – Internet safety is an ongoing concern in today's era of advanced technology with the hype of social networking. Facebook has taken action and expanded safety tools and resources to increase the security of its users, while other companies provide ways to keep your identity private while on the net. In March, Facebook provided its members a social reporting tool as an aggressive attempt to combat bullying. The social reporting tool gives a user the capability to report community members and photographs viewed as harassment or harmful. Facebook has also created additional security options under its Account Settings/Account Security page. Facebook users can check a box to receive an email when a new computer or mobile device logs into their account. They also have the option to choose to browse Facebook on a secure connection (https) whenever possible. Just last week, Facebook unveiled an enhanced version of its Family Safety Center, which provides informative articles and videos to help individuals be aware of online safety and privacy settings. VoiceNation, the leader in innovative technology, provides a service called SimplyONE which protects your private mobile phone number when doing business over the internet.  With SimplyONE, users can choose their own local or toll free telephone number that can be switched between four different applications including voicemail, 24 hour recorded hotline, re-direct number, or a complete virtual personal assistant. When conducting internet business on Craigslist for example, customers will list their VoiceNation telephone number in the ad and use the re-direct feature to have incoming calls forwarded to their personal mobile number instead of listing their personal number for the public to have. You can never be too careful. Prowlers, scams and fraud are all over the internet. It's better to be safe than sorry with your private information available online. Take precautions to safeguard your existence online through the enhanced online safety tools available to you.About VoiceNation:VoiceNation, America's leader in virtual PBX and voicemail was founded in 2002 by CEO Jay Reeder and opened their Next Generation call centers in 2009.

        <title> VoiceNation Serves Seasonal Cheer for Small Business</title>
        <description><![CDATA[While many small business owners across America enjoy well deserved time off during the holidays, there are others who don't have the luxury of taking a break from the grind.  They are the ones, who provide essential services to their clients that are needed just as much during the holidays, if not more, as any other time of year. Or perhaps they don't want to miss the golden opportunity to take on new customers at a time when their competitors are closing up shop for a few days.]]></description>
	<content><![CDATA[Small business owners face the challenge every year of balancing time off for their employee's with maintaining customer service levels for their customers.  It's a difficult thing to do when most small businesses operate with less than ten employees.  In today's competitive market it's too risky for a small business to just close up shop for a few days and not have anyone there to take customer calls and respond to emails.  Just sending callers to a voicemail when you aren't in the office doesn't cut it anymore.  The market is too competitive.  In a recent survey of over ten thousand consumers, 3 out of 4 people said they hang up and dial the next company if they get a voicemail.  A wake up call to those who still think it's acceptable to use an answering machine outside normal business hours.Businesses that cut corners in customer service can end up paying a far greater price in other ways.  A customer who calls a business and gets a busy signal, voicemail or their call doesn't get answered, is going to take their money elsewhere.So, how do the smart small business owners of America manage to keep their businesses running while they're enjoying the holidays with their loved ones?  Answering services like VoiceNation have become a popular partner to businesses who need this sort of continuity whether it's a long holiday weekend, after hours, weekends or overflow during normal office hours.VoiceNation offers the very latest call technology to those who demand twenty-four hour phone support.  Calls can be redirected and messages can be delivered by email or text message.  All of this is offered at VoiceNation's &quot;pricing made simple&quot; rates that are unbeatable in the call center industry.Small business owners not only rely on live answering services during the holiday season, they continue to use them throughout the year, allowing them and their families to enjoy much earned vacation time together at any time that suits them.Jay Reeder, founder and CEO of VoiceNation, states, &quot;VoiceNation is ready to lift the burden of being available 24/7 from the shoulders of America's small business owners. We can not only allow them much needed holiday time, but also help ensure that they remain profitable at this challenging time of year.&quot;]]></content>

        <title> VoiceNation is Called on Again to Provide Stephen Colbert's Atone Phone </title>
        <description><![CDATA[The Colbert Nation apparently has a lot of apologizing to do this year. When Stephen Colbert unveiled his infamous Atone Phone 1-888-OOPSJEW on Wednesday night, thousands of callers flooded the lines to apologize for their sins against him.]]></description>
	<content><![CDATA[Buford, GA (PRWEB) September 16, 2010The Atonement hotline, 1-888-OOPSJEW, is a real working toll free number, where Stephen Colbert has made it an annual event of recognizing the Jewish High Holy Days by giving is viewers an opportunity to apologize to him personally during their Ten Days of Repentance between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. Callers who choose the OOPSJEW option are greeted by Stephen Colbert himself who records a message to his callers asking them to leave their apology to him stating how they have wronged him in the previous year. Colbert then chooses a handful of messages to play on a future show.The phone number, 1-888-OOPSJEW is a real working phone number supported by VoiceNation. A leading provider of voicemail, Virtual PBX and live answering service. Producers of the Colbert Report have been working with VoiceNation engineers for four years in a row now to host the Atonement Hotline. VoiceNation was chosen due to their ability to handle high call volumes associated with TV and Radio spots. VoiceNation's proprietary technology allows the hotline to take thousands of calls and voice messages in very short time period.Four years ago VoiceNation was asked to quickly reserve the phone number 1-888-OOPS-JEW for Colbert's upcoming show the following night where Colbert would unveil the atone phone for the first time. VoiceNation was able to quickly deliver the service without a hitch. Ever since then, producers of the Colbert Report have been getting more and more creative using the same phone number to come up with funny voicemail greetings using alternate spellings of the number including 1-888-MOPS-KEY and 1-888-MOSS-LEW. This year a fourth option was added using 1-888-MOS-PLEX, making fun of a low rent cinema.]]></content>
