Voice communications technology company PeerMe, Inc. is giving Internet
users a new way to stay in touch: digital "Voice Tags." PeerMe Voice
Tags are simple button images that can be placed on a Web site, or even
in email signatures, that allow Web users to click on these tags to
make voice calls directly through a VoIP connection. Voice Tags, which
work with any browser, can be downloaded for free from www.peerme.com.
"This truly is the 'missing link' when it comes to creating real
personal connections through the Internet," says CEO Tom Lasater. "The
Web was invented to improve the ability of people to communicate with
each other. Now, instead of just reading text, Web users anywhere in
the world can use Voice Tags to speak with each other by telephone
without having to pay long-distance fees. Anyone - including
individuals, online communities, small businesses and large enterprises
- can use our download to open a whole new world of communication at
absolutely no charge."
