  Jeff Pulver points to the Wikipedia and End to End communications. It's a great link for what Phweet is trying to do.

• JoikuShop - JoikuSpot Premium - Lifetime
  Ok Andy introduced me the other day to JoikuSpot via his E61. We had three laptops and his iPhone connected that way and we processed at least two voip calls as well as concurrently surfing the internet. It grows more impressive each time I think about it. If it works with a touch will it with an iPhone?

• #dmtweetup here’s another.. but what really is happening here. how does one get involved? #
• @mrblog there’s a goodguys one on this weekend I believe #

• @phoneboy how will they block it. Wouldn’t that kill all the video you want to watch too? #
• I have to blog this Aircell story too.. made my day. Phweet definitely goes where other VoIP can’t go. It’s open communications at last. #
• @phoneboy Don’t spoil my fun!;) Is it really worth it. Ultimately too much talking on planes is still sort of weird. Trains have silent cars #

• http://twurl.nl/wocn1g Thanks @jeffpulver for helping to accelerate the conversation. More Phweeters than ever out there trying today. #
• @kencamp does @sherylbreuker see all @ replies (via settings) or only those she is following? http://phweet.com/EFAN #
• http://twurl.nl/tbmlzr @phoneboy let’s hope they grow up and allow VoIP. It works in Trains in Europe. Silent and Talking cars. Planes? #

• @johncarson I understand the reservation. We won’t last long if it isn’t secure! With apps and contact uploads it’s now more common practice #

I’ve been helping out with the PhweetTalk - the Phweet blog and I’m cross-posting this here. I’ll probably be doing more of my blogging there for a while. And I’ve become a real Twitter monster - I update stuff I am doing very regularly there - so do check me out there!

Since the public alpha launch on July 30th, we’ve been asked several times whether Phweet is a noun or a verb. We’d like to think it’s both.  Phweetisms we like, even more! Here’s a collection of user-generated comments around Phweet afloat in the Twitter world and the blogosphere:

Twitter’s curry; it is called Phweet: TeachEng.Us

A CB radio - space for spontaneous conference calling: Chinarut

Post Cards, and Now Phone Calls, from Twitter Island Tweet-Phweet: Ed Moltzen

Michael Bauwens,P2P Foundation - Phone + Twitter = Phweet

Ruthlessly Simplified Disintermediation - Jim Courtney at Skype Journal

Jon Husband at the FastForward Blog:Twitter Conjoined With Instant Calling (TM) = Phweet

VoIP is Unstoppable - It’s Simply our Infrastructure - Ken Camp

Jeff Pulver: a new application promoting the End-to-end principle.

Christopher Herot: (Try doing a Twitter search on “Skype”.)  The result: Phweet.

Who says you can’t VOIP on Aircell, I just did it - Andy Abramson

PhoneBoy : because I can?

Mark Mayhew: @comcastcares are you using http://phweet.com yet (to enhance your customer support)?

This one made us laugh - Phweet-Phound-of-Phuccess: Doug Haslam

Phweet has that wild-west VoIP feel - ntheory

“On-Demand Consulting” and “The principle of talk radio”: Mark Mayhew in a Phweet conversation with Stuart and me.

Phweet Rocks!: Scott Baird, @mediapirate

VOIP from your browser (via Twitter) direct to my Truphone and Phweet to front-end calls to Truphone - James Body of Truphone

A cool visual representation of Andy’s Aircell-Phweet experience, from ValleyWag:

Atmasphere: it’s pretty damn simple

Do drop in more Phweetisms at the comments - you may get as creative as you wish

• In India, Either Buy iPhones or Get a Family Car - GigaOM
  Om I love this comparison. Just perfect! Also sad I have no idea why the price gouging. Apple will do no one any favors if they roll the price back to where is should be. It's 10000 rupee's overpriced! At least!

• Nokia N-Series vs. iPhone 3G: Head to Head Smackdown
  This is a great review. It highlights why I continue to love the N-Series but for the most part use an iPhone everyday. I'd traded down my streaming bluetooth and my camera both which I lament yet it is the iphone with the orange encase that I use daily today.
