I need to use Vonage to call my sister in Singapore and tell her that I survived the great East Coast Earth Quake of 2011 (and also that I won an iPad 2 from Activewin, Vonage, and Ivy Worldwide).
I think the new site needs a user-initiated thread feature. This might be fun place to stoke the fanboy flames on slow news days or simply to post a “how-to” question.
Additionally, a friend feature would be cool so one user could friend another and if accepted they could access each other’s contact info. This way, the next time Parker is in Canada, he and Latch can party all night.

I did all four entry forms
I liked you on facebook and commented on the contest post (Lisa Dion)
I am following you on twitter and tweeted (@wldflowur13)
https://twitter.com/#!/wldflowur13/status/106094068974624769
I travel to Africa and am unable to keep in touch with my family because international calling is so expensive. The Tim to Call app would make it possible for me to keep in touch with those that I love
A new site feature could be a reader recommended area. Somewhere where the top posts or popular posts can be recommended by your followers.

I too would like to see the site tied into Facebook and Google +, making the sharing of information between friends much easier, and word would spread quicker about the site.

I could use Vonage app to call my cousin Irene who has been working in London the past 7 months. We can't affford the phone calls, so we only communicate on facebook and in emails.....would be great to be able to really chat with her again.

With Time to Call, there's no ongoing commitment. I have family in China so Time to Call would save me money and easy to use.

Suggestions for your site - first, this may sound petty, but it needs some style.....the aesthetics here are from the 90's and not appealing to first time visitors. Many sites that I've been to have all been adding those buttons - google +1, Like (facebook), tweet this, stumble, etc. All these buttons promote your site and draw in more visitors which I'm sure is your goal. I think someone also mentioned a search function is needed, and that is for sure.
Completed all four entries ! Thanks for the chance to win.

I would like to see a search bar/feature at the top of every page. This would make searching articles/keywords/etc. much easier. Thanks!

I would like to win because I feel like a dinosaur chained to my desktop computer.
Everyone seems to be around town surfing and playing angry birds. I'm not sure
why the birds are angry but if I had an iPad2 I would like to find out. Are
they hungry?
I liked you on twitter @CrazyRiki
And FB (Riki Dee)

I would like to see pictures next to the main articles - ones that catch my eye and make me want to read them.
Note: I did all 4 entries. :)

Vonage's Time To Call would be an awesome tool for me to keep in touch with my folks and my girlfriend in India an ocean away.

As far as improving the site goes, please incorporate something like Disqus into the comments system, also the site doesn't even seem to ask for one's email ID when signing up. Finally, please add a bit of class to the design. The site seems a bit too simplistic despite the excellent content.
@grajasekar on twitter and "Gaurav Rajasekar" on facebook. Did the first two entries and the third entry post as well.
This is my final entry.

It would be nice to be able to see the comments form the front page by a plus or something instead of having to change to the individual post.

I think that changing the design/layout of the site would make it more visually appealing. Joomla has some great layouts and extensions that could also help with the organization of the site.

For site, add a search engine, and make it so clicking on the title of a post goes to the full post and comments, not to another site.

About the page, of course you need to change the design to a modern 2.0 or HTML5 :). Facebook Buttons, make some ajax requests, and put some comboboxes to the register form :). And of course many emoticons ^_^
