In what could be considered a first, Packet8 has introduced a free add-on service for its VoIP phone subscribers that includes subscriber message boards and, oddly enough, blogging. It seems like a general vanilla support site with some extra community interaction features. Here's a snippet from the letter they sent out.....

Interesting....VERY interesting.
I'm already partial to Packet8 over other broadband phone providers. With this development maybe more folks will discover them and stop being swayed by the Vonage mass marketing media campaign. 'Bout damn time.
