NBC.com has launched a voice over internet protocol (VoIP) application which lets you make free calls and free txt amongst users and at the same time, get involved with NBC.com news etc.
The VOIP application is called NBC communicator and you can download it off their official website. With the communicator application and you can make and receive calls. Communicator also gives you features such as Caller ID of the person calling and texting for free. Initially we thought that its a free PC to Phone VOIP service, however it only seem to work for PC to PC like Skype or yahoo messenger.
We do not see any reason why people would even want to test this VOIP application considering no added value besides watching some shows online, which you can do otherwise at far more superior websites. The element of using "VOIP" as a medium of communication itself lacks in this application.
NBC seem to have failed again with this gimmick. VOIP is not a game for news companies or media company. If it takes solid effort for VOIP providers to establish themselves, it would take lot more for Media companies to engage consumers to use their VOIP platform.
Do you think otherwise? Do you use NBC communicator? Do let us know your feedback.
