Comms In Brief
Published May 2, 2008 at 3:03 pm · Filed under Comms / IT
Connect has launched an online back-up service for small and medium-sized businesses that automatically encrypts and saves all files held on a company’s servers at regular intervals throughout the day. Total Recall also allows employees to continue working even if their server has gone down - amending files over the internet, either in the office or at home, and sending and receiving email. Targeted at users of tape-based systems and the 51% of SMEs that keep back-ups on-site (source Institute of Directors), Total Recall costs from £83 per month for companies with fewer than 10 employees.

Website of the month
Voxswap.com’s creators describe the new website for language students as ‘a social network with a point’. The site allows people to set up profiles, stating which language(s) they speak and which they are practising, and browse fellow Voxswap users to find someone to practise with (e.g. an English person learning German could match up with a German learning English). The site offers internal email, chat and forums to get people speaking to one another and allows users to personalise their profiles with video, pictures, tags and further information about themselves. Interesting features include a virtual keyboard (with accents and characters), a built-in Google Translator service and news feeds in multiple languages.
