Lots More TalkShoe Phone Ports; and Two BIG Milestones

Today, TalkShoe activated 33% more telephone voice ports in our system. It’s a big step forward because lately on about one-third of all evenings our system was reaching full capacity (not the whole night mind you; but occasionally for a several hour stretch). Who knew so many online groups would want to talk. So now even more people can do it – up to 300 people simultaneously on every individual call (try it; it’s amazing to join a call that big).

Which got me to wondering, how many people are we talking about? I checked the TalkShoe system stats and guess what? Since the start of last year, there have been more than 12 million minutes of phone callers. This number is measured by an independent third-party and doesn’t even include voice-over-IP (VoIP) or ShoePhone callers. And during that same period, there were more than 16 million unique listens. That is to say, we never count the same person listening to the same recording twice (advertisers appreciate this kind of credible reporting).

Keep up the great work everybody. By the way, my favorite new call series on TalkShoe is… 81342 (Parkinson’s Disease Talk Live). What a cool use of TalkShoe.
