Phonetag -- the SpinVox killer?

This afternoon, I was hoping to connect with James Siminoff, Chief Executive of Phonetag. Alas there was a scheduling conflict but I’m going to see what we can do tomorrow to meet him.

I’d like to find out a lot more about Phonetag. It’s named after that annoying hobby — ‘playing phonetag’ — the concept being that their service kills your average game of phonetag stone dead. That can only be a good thing.

Like the $200m SpinVox behemoth, Phonetag converts your voicemails to text. But there’s more. There’s address book integration — a major arse when it comes to SpinVox. I haven’t taken a look nor have I had a demo of Phonetag so I’ll reserve judgment. I’m particularly interested to check out their transcription quality and find out a lot more about their business model(s).

The service is US-only at the moment but if you’re in the States, give it a go and let me know how you get on with it?
