Hot on the heels of the USA Today article about anonymous calling, the NY Times has a piece about, you guessed it, “the last phone number you'll ever need.”

If a service is going to take off in the social and dating space, it's got to be easy to use, keep the user on the same website and do cool stuff other offerings can't.

I want my anonymous number to work exactly like my mobile number. Most services don't offer anything like that. Make sure to read the fine print as these companies continue to pitch the industry.

Speaking of Skype, I just went over my mobile contract by 300 minutes, time to get a Skype speaker-phone so I can ditch the borg-like headset. Did you see that Skype announced a huge re-org? All the old timers are leaving as it becomes eBay-ized. Sad.
