Tracking VoIP Hits on Google...
I just did a google on the term VoIP and was amazed to find that there were 1,960,000 website hits on the term but even moreso to find 1,250 News stories that included VoIP as a reference. And this Google was done at 10:30 pm EST on a Sunday night!
While the term VoIP is much more popular than my preferred term, IP Communications, a Google on IP Communications still found 57,100 websites and 56 news stories.
While I believe the VoIP Tipping Point happened in December, 2003, one stat which will be interesting to track is to see how much references to both of these terms grow during 2004.
As VoIP continues to grow in popularity, I expect a new crop of "me too" companies to come into existence and I also expect some established players to reposition themselves as VoIP players since that is the trendy thing to do.
I'm looking forward to the pending IPOs inside of this market sector as well as the pending funding announcements which will be the first encouraging signs would-be entrepreneurs will have experienced in any significant kind of way since the long ago VoIP go-go days of 1999/2000.
