The Social Networking Phenomenon

Well I must admit to being somewhat taken aback here. This whole social networking thing is an Internet explosion of often highly interesting and/or voyeuristic content from millions (billions?) of everyday people like you and I. I thought the Facebook craze was amazing but in my opinion Twitter has taken everything to the next level with “What are you doing?” – LOL!

I never thought the day would come when you could literally jump into someone’s back pocket (virtually ANYONE’s) but it has come to pass. Is it scary? Hmmmm…. maybe a little, but it is also AMAZING by it’s nature, offering updates of people’s thoughts and activities though a web GUI or even more importantly (from a telecommunications standpoint) via your mobile phone.

People are literally offering up their thoughts on a myriad of topics (literally anything qualifies as content here!) and others around the world are connecting to and following that content on an on-going basis. Now you CAN control WHO follows your Twitter feed (if you wanted to create a private network) but what’s the fun in that? Don’t we all want to feel like we matter? Well at Twitter, you have a forum to become important (or at lease interesting) to as many people as you can attract via your “content”.

It’s a crazy world we live in… (and now I have to go buy a BlackBerry!) 😉

Telephone Magic now on Twitter

We have entered a new era in Social Networking, and this Twitter thing cannot be ignored any longer… LOL. You can follow us on Twitter here on the blog (see the side panel to the right for updates), or directly @ our new Twitter home page for Nortel Norstar Meridian and Avaya IP Office and Definity business phones among many other interesting daily observations. The world just keeps on getting smaller and smaller… 😉

Canadian businesses have their own Telecom Portal

Just a quick note to make sure all of our Canadian friends realize that when they need Nortel Norstar phones, Norstar phone headsets, or any other Norstar phone system hardware, module, or part, we have a site right here in Canada for you. While we have been serving the Canadian market for 20 years with Norstar and Meridian phone equipment, our web site for these business clients was incepted less than two years ago.

We carry many of the most popular business phone system lines and now specialize in the Avaya phone platform. If you need a call recording system – we have it. If you require an On Hold
Message system – we carry the latest digital players. We have just about every necessary business telecom product – right here in Canada – so be sure to visit our direct Canadian telecom portal.

Back with a Vengeance!

OK I must admit it’s just a snappy ‘movie’ title – lmao.

All kidding aside, we are glad to be blogging again here at Telephone Magic – so much has happened in the past couple of years and we are thrilled to be able to start writing about it again.

Let’s start with AVAYA – we have really expanded our Avaya offerings – from the new IP500 IP Office platform (along with all the digital Avaya phones, VoIP IP phones, and wireless phones) to a complete selection of Avaya Definity PBX circuit packs / cards and Definity phones, we are now a leader in wholesale Internet Avaya telecom products.

We are now celebrating over 20 years in business and things have never been more exciting in the telecom field. Convergence is here and we seem to find new products to talk about every day. In the coming weeks and months I will do my best to bring you the latest telecom products that can make your business run smoother or solve issues within your structure.

My thanks go out to Mark Kawabe for incepting this blog and making it an interesting going concern. I will do my best to bring you the same interesting product information with a smile or two mixed in for good measure.

Cheers!
