Swine Flu and VoIP Perfect Together

Rob is out sick today. Bummer for Rob. But, also, potentially bad for the company if he comes back when he's feeling well, but still contagious. Since we use VoIP and for the most part work apart for each other, this is not an issue. Rob can come back to work whenever he is up to it without the threat of giving us all the sniffles.

That is pretty much the thrust of this article:

I am certainly not one for fear-mongering, but the point of the above is that VoIP is great for companies that are spread out and allows them to be just as efficient when spread-out as they are when all clumped together with less risk of spreading illness among co-workers.

A little VoIP and chicken soup and we'll all be better in no time.
