You can buy the stock for fantasy in our 2006 MakeYouGohmm Virtual Stock Exchange. Join other Hmm readers and play for free here, although Vonage is a very volatile purchase at the moment, even for a fantasy stock. The day is young though, still a good three hours plus of trading remains.

Wink demo using Vonage stock fluctuation
It’s beta testing humpday at Hmm as I continue to pour through Microsoft Office 2007 beta and just took a brief break to demo the free screencasting software Wink. It’s my first ever wink-powered screencast — and has all the rough edges of a first attempt — which you can watch and listen to vonage1128est_openday.swf (2.14MB).

There is much more that can be done with Wink then my demo shows like sending people to different URLs during/after the presentation, floating tooltext windows and highlights. Screencasting software like Wink is good for software demos, instruction and education. Winki is fairly intuitive to operate. Like what I see so far and will be doing more in the future.

  3. […] As a customer only and thankfully not an investor, I was already concerned. Now I’m wondering what this will mean if the stock completely tanks? Yes, at what point do we seriously start talking about that? $5/share? When it falls beneath $1/share? […]
