Since my in-laws live in Sweden, I would use the Time to Call app to call them.

#2 By 588184 (38.115.185.130) at 8/22/2011 1:33:43 PM
I would use the app to call me friend in Italy who I haven't spoken with in a year.

#3 By 25030 (208.253.109.158) at 8/22/2011 1:39:47 PM
It would be a great way to keep in touch with overseas relatives!

#4 By 588196 (132.170.43.122) at 8/22/2011 1:50:00 PM
i would use it to call some friends abroad

#5 By 588196 (132.170.43.122) at 8/22/2011 1:51:45 PM
i think you should add a search bar to the top of the page to make it easier to find things on the page

#6 By 88850 (120.63.8.160) at 8/22/2011 1:56:57 PM
I work alone in the US and my family stays in India so Vonage Time to Call would be a perfect way to call them more frequently.

ActiveWin is around for soooo long and still going. A nice addition to the site would be an easier way to view and go through past news. There is search by date and keywords, but viewing all posts in a month or year would be even better.

My twitter username is same. Facebook is gauravkale.

I would use vonage time for connecting with my wife when she travels overseas. @Ironcity1861

#8 By 588207 (98.226.112.125) at 8/22/2011 2:10:38 PM
I would use it to keep in touch with my family and friends while I study abroad! @jessi_nadine

#9 By 588213 (173.63.172.120) at 8/22/2011 2:16:24 PM
I would use the Vonage Time to Call to call my nephew who is in Japan and other relatives who live in Germany. Thanks so much.

#10 By 588202 (166.248.1.122) at 8/22/2011 2:18:08 PM
You could put a search button on the home page so that I could easily find the topic that I am looking for. @ironcity1861

#11 By 588213 (173.63.172.120) at 8/22/2011 2:20:52 PM
I would love to see information on suggested apps by both description and top rated. Either free or low cost.
Thanks so much.

i would just like to win but i know my chances are not so good but i hope luck is on my side.

i would suggest trying to make video chats available to user's, nothing like really getting to talk about a topic but well managed and controlled with respect to others opinions.

also possibly live chats with maybe video on some really hot topics like hp and their tablet as well as the up and coming windows 8.

I will use the iPad and the app to call my mother in-law to ask her to stop sending me salted cookies.
Also for you guys, you could definitely redesign the whole page (keeping the content); sincerely, I'm a web designer and I designed this kind of sites 10 years ago.

#14 By 588318 (98.236.66.26) at 8/22/2011 5:23:30 PM
I would use the iPad to multi-task in meetings, play angry birds while driving, and browse activewin.com and click on every single ad!

As for Vonage I could use this to contact my cousin's in Europe and use it for when I am in Europe to call my folks at home!

Website additions:
Mandatory passwords for users! - cuts down on spam
use reCHAPTA to validate users

Maybe create an archive section where you can put information and blog post on anything pre-windows xp in.

- I would download the Time to Call app and let my husband use it to call his family members in Italy and Mexico.

- One thing you could do to improve the website is shorten the sidebar on the left and make it static so that you could access those options no matter where you are on the blog.

#16 By 588442 (174.63.22.3) at 8/22/2011 8:47:14 PM

I would call my sister in London

I wish you could bring more Xbox content to the site

I would call my Friends in the UK and talk to camp staff members that were in other countries.

#18 By 588463 (67.169.176.33) at 8/22/2011 9:27:14 PM
As an addition i would add a donation or acout us page talking about why do this and how to support the site.

#19 By 588479 (50.105.18.166) at 8/22/2011 9:51:07 PM
I was use the app to call my wife's relatives in China and Taiwan. Especially her elderly grandmother in Taiwan.

#20 By 588481 (190.238.196.191) at 8/22/2011 9:53:57 PM
I would use Vonage because I use a lot diferent software to call to my mom and girlfriend who live far from me (Venezuela and Belgum), I used skype but i find it expensive now, and Vonage seems very atractive in rates.

#21 By 588484 (67.204.10.153) at 8/22/2011 9:55:05 PM
I would use the app to call family and friends overseas, it's so expensive to call overseas, this would help so much and I could call often

I think the info in the site is really good but it lacks some design, bigger fonts, more clean background and a consistent minimalistic design, the site loads really fast now and it is a good point, some touchs of clean and minimalistic design, better use of fonts (consistent size in the post), and it will be really great. Thanks.

#23 By 588479 (50.105.18.166) at 8/22/2011 9:56:22 PM
To get your articles out to facebook and twitter you could put a "Facebook Like button" and a "Twitter Tweet button" on each article. See http://thedigitallifestyle.com/w/index.php/2011/08/21/win-an-32gb-ipad-2-with-tdl-and-vonage/ for an example.

#24 By 588484 (67.204.10.153) at 8/22/2011 9:57:39 PM
I would add color to this website, it's so gloomy and just plain borring, sorry, like someone else suggested a search button would be beneficial.
