Bellster fwdOUT: Three Weeks After

It has been three weeks since our launch of the peer-to-peer communications community, fwdOUT.

It turns out that it is possible in 2005 for total strangers to form a world-wide community, get together and offer each other the ability to make a local phone call in exchange for the ability to do the same thing themselves...proving that in 2005, on the internet, in the words of John Lennon and Paul McCartney, "The Love you Take is equal to the Love you Make."

Our global fwdOUT "social communications" community experiment continues on.

Number of Registered fwdOUT Nodes: 1133
Number of Nodes Online right now: 126
Number of Routes available right now: 1241
Number of Google hits on fwdOUT: 2490

While the fwdOUT community currently has the capacity in theory to deliver 668,863 calls, there will always be a mismatch between the place a given member of fwdOUT wants to be able to reach at any given moment and the availability of a node that can deliver a local call into that specific route at that given moment.

To date, since launch, the fwdOUT network as seen the following activity:

Total Number of fwdOUT Call Attempts: 2576
Total Number of fwdOUT Answered Calls: 648

Right now, fwdOUT can deliver calls to certain cities in the following 23 countries: Argentina, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, China, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Italy, Mexico, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Philippines, Russia, Singapore, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, UK, USA. Personally, I think this is pretty cool.

New routes and cities become available all the time. We now provide a route availability tool available for download from the fwdOUT FAQ. This application requires the .net framework to be installed.

Ed Guy is looking into hosting a fwdOUT BoF session at Spring 2005 VON to provide a place for some of our friends who are running fwdOUT nodes to get together and compare notes.

We are currently working on a version of fwdOUT for the worldwide ham radio community.

A gift is a good way to express festival bless. Nice packaging can improve the quality of the products.But the recycling of the gift boxes is a huge problem. Many people suggest that we can protect environment by using paper bags or paper boxes. This is environment-friendly.
