Post subject: Vonage Adds Movie Listings, Stock Quotes, and More
I do not believe that I have ever seen this requested in our
VoIP Feature Wish List
forum, but this certainly does look like an interesting rollout of new features:

That's cool and all, and proves that
Vonage
KNOWS they need to beef up on features and wiz-bang stuff, but they need to focus on more serious things, like ACR.

Add me to the list of people who wish
Vonage
would focus on the core features (including ACR), improved customer service, and reliability enhancements rather than useless features like this.

They'll likely be fee based as well. Honestly, you have a broadband connection at home (or you probably wouldn't have
Vonage
to begin with) so exactly what value does this add? With Google and Click-2-Call there's no reason for them to even waste time integrating something like this instead of putting the time and effort into ACR/ACB and outbound CID that actually works. This is marketing fluff of the worst kind.

Horoscopes?
Ok, now I'm a
Vonage
fan, but come on. Is there seriously more demand for instant horoscope access than ACR? OK, now I'm gonna have that drink.
