You may not have realized it, but as you signed into VoxOx today, you were doing so with a service that is exactly one year old. That’s right, VoxOx went live on Nov. 3, 2008.

To celebrate this momentous occasion, we wanted to raise a virtual glass of champagne, or sparkling cider if you prefer, in your honor and personally thank all of our beta users for their support and participation over the last 365 days. We certainly have come a long way!

To give you an idea of our evolution, I wanted to show you a screenshot of what VoxOx looked like upon launch, and what it looks like now (well, I guess you already know that).

One year ago …

The VoxOx User Interface Upon Launch

… and today.

The VoxOx UI Today

In addition to the obvious difference in color, VoxOx has been bolstered with an array of new features and functionality that — taken as a whole — you can’t find anywhere else in the industry. No other service unifies eight major communication channels — from voice to social networking — into a single interface.

You can check out many of our bigger milestones — the launch of VoxOx 2, winning a Stevie’s Award for best new product, our new unlimited monthly calling plans — by visiting our press room. For more granular details, please visit our change log.

Also, if you haven’t taken our user survey, please do! We would love to know what you think of our beta service and how we can improve it even further. With your help, our second birthday will be even better than the first.
