This was a hot topic of discussion. (Yes, aren't you glad you weren't invited to our Christmas festivities?)<BR/><BR/>My gut instinct says that if Kodak is doing it, it's a bad idea. In addition to cutting voicemail, they also bought a new jet. Methinks priorities are a bit off over there.Evil HR Ladyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14506069540151526951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5630868552763441178.post-91870576224572176032008-12-25T07:17:17.829-05:002008-12-25T07:17:17.829-05:00Rachel - <BR/>good point - if you don't want to talk to someone,it doesn't matter.Dan McCarthyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12634914124037453298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5630868552763441178.post-81618833321106121162008-12-24T21:41:00.000-05:002008-12-24T21:41:00.000-05:00How much money does it really cost? I've hung up at people's voicemails but I don't think email is a total replacement.

We let it do our dirty work "Oh its <I>him</I>, let voicemail get it", and then neglect it. For callers, voicemail has been a consolation prize. For people being called, it has been both an escape and a chore.<BR/><BR/>Voicebeep.com is making voice messages fun again. Now you can send voice messages to anybody with an email address, at any time. Voicebeep frees voice messages from ties to voice prompts, answering machines and area codes.<BR/><BR/>So, while corporate voicemail as we once knew it may be fading into the background, the power of voice messages to enhance productivity in the workplace is only just beginning to be shown.<BR/><BR/>Try saying something useful to your team using voicebeep.com, and see what happens.Erik Dreyerhttp://blog.voicebeep.comnoreply@blogger.com
