IconDial is a service which has was launched a few months ago, is now back online, and should remain so, as we have managed to finally find a way to make it sustainable.
In exchange for listening to a short 10 second advert before the call is made, you can make free calls to any land-line or mobile phone in USA.
IconDial will soon be expanding to other countries, and will be offering new features, such as voice-mail, address books etc.
In my previous post, I introduced the personal MeBeam Flash Server which is a very light-weight, zero install, high capacity Flash Media Server.
In this post, I'm going to release a minimal MeBeam Flash 8 project file with complete source code, which shows the foundations of a MeBeam client.
The code is written for AS2, but will work just fine under AS3.
Future versions of this personal flash server will include an integrated compiler and scripting engine, plus some additional goodies, that even Adobe's Flash Media Server cannot do.
I would never have imagined growing up, saying those words, and it mean something.
So without any further delay, - Enga.. ( ok, that's going a bit far )..
MeBeam is opening its network to the public, with a vast array of back end services, including dedicated servers, private networks, and co-location services.
Some of our more exotic services will include, flash to SIP telephony, 3G video gateways, Web to Polycom transcoding, and of course, high end video conferencing.
For now, however, I am releasing a personal MeBeam server that you can run on your company intranet or private network.
Unlike, other Flash server technologies, there is no need to download any additional components or files; simply download the following link to your desktop and then run it.

As I am not a Linux user, I have been regretfully unaware that MeBeam does not actually run on all Linux machines, as it does on Windows.
With the release of Flash player 10, which is available for Linux, Mac, as well as Windows, MeBeam should now be available using Linux.
