On June 2009, I was invited for two talks on FISL10 in Brazil.
The first one was about XMPP Freedom and its master plan for world domination.
The second one was a hands on session implementing a Jingle Client in 40 Minutes using MiniJingle.
Attending to wishes I'm dropping them here as Drop.IO which is in my opinion one of the coolest and newest tools on the web regarding file sharing and collaboration. Cheers and Congrats to Drop.IO XMPP Team!

Google Voice - So... What New?
Google Announced officially the release of Google Voice.
Besides all market posts and mass comments, the set of new or innovative Voice Features so far are empty. They are just trying to move backwards in time when talking about obsolete and non simple features.
I honestly was expecting much more than a service binded to a real mobile number attached to a formal operator.
In a time that everybody is questioning the meaning of a phone number in the "post email ERA", Google came and released a service based on operator number.
When it might be a short term boom, but as other examples, this might achieve some success not for an innovative concept, but based on Google fame. Google fans probably will use it just to be recognized as early-adopters.
Where is the Interoperability? The Extensibility? The Open Service API? It seems like some basic principles of new Internet where forgotten somewhere under operators shoes.
In short words: "Google Voice does basically what your phone and your operator together always did."
If you are really looking for something that your phone never did before, try Nimbuzz Mobile and feel the real sensation of doing something that your phone never have done before.
Nimbuzz will show you that a "phone number" is the last thing in the world that you need in a full communicator solution.

My Fridge XMPP Client
No, it is not a Jetsons Episode! A few weeks ago I spoke with a guy from an appliance Industry, and guess what?
XMPP is being tested as the solution for domestic devices interactivity.
Meaning that in some years you will probably check in real time the presence of milk and ice cream in your fridge directly from your phone, wherever you are! (Via Nimbuzz?)
Interesting things you might be able to do:
* Monitor you food consumption at the end of the month.
* Check whats missing at the supermarket. Goodbye to shopping lists.
* Check if you forgot your oven on, and be able to turn it off remotely.
* Speed up the cooling of your beer before you get home.
* Get updated in real time and receive pictures in case someone break into your house. Directly in your phone.
I cannot tell the company name, but they promised to have something in the Brazilian market by 2011 as pilot.
Check some Jetsons and Inspector Gadget episodes for more ideas.
