The other thing that was "hot" at the O'Reilly Emerging Telephony conference was presence. Presence was, well, everywhere :-) Some offering intelligent presence solutions that figure out your presence status based on rules, inference and heuristics, while others are gearing up for grand "master plan" approaches that look to "solve" presence for a broad spectrum of users. The big announcement along the latter lines, was of course, Tello who launched as the conference started, and picked up great coverage in BusinessWeek and the Wall Street Journal. It's clear there's going to be a need for presence aggregation - software or services that handle the management and doling out of presence information across the blizzard of devices and access methods we use to communicate.
