CNet is running an interesting story titled Plaxo gets hip to VoIP about a new service from the Grand Unified Address Book company that takes the computer out of VoIP. Basically it works like this: You click on a friend's phone number in your Plaxo address book and immediately Plaxo calls you. As soon as you answer, it dials your friend and connects you. You know, just like a regular phone call, except that you don't have to press all those pesky buttons. Okay, so aside from being handy for the uber-lazy, there is a twist: The first five minutes of your call are free, and after that you pay less than two cents per minute in the U.S., or slightly more for international calls. This, I'll admit, isn't half bad: You get most of the savings of VoIP with none of the headset-wrangling. Sounds perfect for the grandma who's just figuring out web browsers but would give up at the sight of something like Skype.
