In the late 1990s, some people made a distinction between Internet Telephony and VoIP: Internet telephony referred to voice over the public Internet, while VoIP referred to voice over private IP networks. magazine (www.itmag.com) has named SubjectTalk as a recipient of a 2006 Product of the Year Award. Internet Telephony has been the VoIP Authority Since 1998[TM]. SubjectTalk was originally developed to provide individuals with a platform to connect via the telephone to other people locally and nationwide who share similar interests. Through the SubjectTalk website itself, www.subjecttalk.com, individuals are able to browse subjects, recommend new subjects, and schedule appointments to talk about a particular subjects(s). RNK's service also empowers callers with safeguards, connecting callers anonymously to protect their privacy (the exchange of telephone numbers is unnecessary). Also of note, is a caller's ability to disconnect disconnect - SCSI reconnect from a person with whom he or she is talking at their convenience, and easily connect to the next available caller. Or, if a caller does not want to be connected to a specific person on a particular subject again, they can "deep 6" that caller. The original concept for social networking evolved to permit the complete integration of SubjectTalk's technology into a customer's existing website, such as those of corporations, universities/colleges and non-profit organizations A non-profit organization (abbreviated "NPO", also "non-profit" or "not-for-profit") is a legally constituted organization whose primary objective is to support or to actively engage in activities of public or private interest without any commercial or monetary profit purposes. . Subjects can be customized to address those topics of relevance to a particular organization, and each subject is associated with a telephone number that people can dial into at any time, day or night, to connect with others to discuss virtually any subject they can think of. Every dial-in subject provides advertisement opportunities for an organization's own products/services, or those of its sponsors through customized voice prompts A recorded message that is played by auto attendants, interactive voice response (IVR) systems, message-on-hold systems and other voice processing tools. The "prompt" is a request to input some data; a recording that does not ask for feedback is more properly called a voice "message." . "As the next logical step to e-bulletin boards, blogs and instant messaging Exchanging text messages in real time between two or more people logged into a particular instant messaging (IM) service. Instant messaging is more interactive than e-mail because messages are sent immediately, whereas e-mail messages can be queued up in a mail server for seconds or , SubjectTalk allows callers to talk anonymously, without exchanging phone numbers. When you talk electronically, the human interaction that you have when you talk over the telephone is missing," said Leah Williams, V.P., Product Development, RNK Communications. "SubjectTalk provides a way for people, especially those individuals who may not be computer savvy, to exchange information, share opinions and offer unique perspectives on various subjects while still retaining anonymity. "In fact, in less than one year, we're seeing tremendous interest in our social networking platform, and hearing very positive feedback from customers including New England's The Remy Report, The Lowell Sun newspaper, and the USO USO: see United Service Organizations.
