Web-based phone service JAJAH has just released their Twitter calling feature JAJAH@Call in beta, giving participating members the ability to call each other, free of charge, by way of Twitter.

The calling service works when a member tweets “@call @twittername.” The tweet will cause both phones to ring, and the Twitterers will be connected without the service sharing either telephone number.

JAJAH@Call also works independent of the platform you use, so whether you use the web, a destkop client, or a mobile application when tweeting, the tweet-to-call service should work without hiccup.

Though pretty unique, JAJAH@Call has some interesting conditions associated with the service, none more interesting than the 2 minute talk time limitation, which the company considers the verbal equivalent of a tweet. Also, in order to work, both parties — caller and recipient — need to be members of the JAJAH@Call service.

We’re quite intrigued by the voice-over-Twitter idea, though we do think it could create funky situations where you receive phone calls from Twitterers you don’t really want to talk to. In some instances, this could be a great way to immediately contact someone you need to reach on a pressing matter, but in others, it could turn into a big if not awkward distraction.

We can just envision the uncomfortable greetings now. Hello, I’m so and so, and I follow you on Twitter, my Twitter name is XXXX. Do you want to go out on a date sometime? Or, say for instance, you’re in the middle of a sentence and reach the 2 minute limit and you’re both cut off from each other. One saving grace is that calls can only be made to people who follow you, which means should a particular caller annoy you, you can unfollow them on Twitter to prevent future voice communication.

We have to give it to JAJAH for pushing the Twitter envelope and are looking forward to giving the service a try. Let us know your take on voice-over-Twitter in the comments.

Just when you think this story is over … there’s now video of President Obama calling Kanye West a “jackass.” The clip first appeared earlier today on Politico, who then pulled it, writing that they “felt upon reflection that it was more respectful to a fellow news-gathering operation to take it down.”

CNN, however, felt otherwise, and decided to air it on their network. This all of course stems from the off-the-record “jackass” comment that was leaked on Twitter by an ABC News reporter on Monday, following West’s outburst at the VMAs on Sunday night. TMZ was able to obtain audio of the episode yesterday.

Is this the final chapter in Kanyegate? Perhaps, although “Kanye West” remains a top trending topic on Twitter and new parodies continue to pop up, so much so that our top 10 list may be quickly becoming out of date. In any event, here’s Obama calling Kanye a “jackass” in living color:

According to a Nielsen report this week, Microsoft’s new Bing search engine is growing faster than any of its search competitors in the top 10.

Last time we looked, Bing was sitting at around 9.4% of the search market in July, but Nielsen’s new numbers confirm the search engine’s continued growth through the month of August, up to 10.7% of the total market.

The rankings for the top 11 engines are shown above, revealing Bing’s impressive growth rate at about 22% month-over-month. Compare this to the rest of the pack, none of whom breaks more than a 3% increase (Yahoo and Comcast are both losing share).

The growth is thanks in part to an enormous marketing campaign, but also surely to some of the innovations Microsoft is bringing to the table with Bing. The recently launched visual search feature is arguably flat out better for browsing certain types of information, and social sharing of search results will soon be coming to Bing as well for an interesting new twist.

Have you used Bing? What’s your impression of the new search engine so far?

Twitter’s trending topics play an important role in the Twitter ecosystem by highlighting the most popular subjects that people are tweeting about in real-time. We’ve seen plenty of different real-time search engines play with and tweak this concept, but we’ve yet to see trending tracks. Until now.

Vodafone has just launched Real-Time Top 40, to answer the question, what are you listening to? The automatically updating top 40 music chart (designed for the UK) is based on your tweeting behaviors, and provides a nifty look at the most popular artists and songs being talked about. The site also provides a quick way to vote for and buy tracks, and influence music trends.

Real-Time Top 40 instantly updates based on tweet activity, which means that you can tweet with the artist and track you’re listening to and directly affect the dynamically updating chart.

The Vodafone venture goes hand-in-hand with marketing the telecommunications company’s cell phone service. According to the site, all the tracks in the top 40 found can also be found in their music store, with customers able to download DRM free tracks at “49p per track and £7.99 per album” to their mobile phones.

Exactly two weeks from today, Google Wave will make its debut on the world stage. It hasn’t even been four months since Google Wave was announced, but it has already captured the hearts and minds of communication, tech, and social media enthusiasts.

While we have explored whether the world is ready for Google Wave (and similarly, whether you are ready), perhaps this is the wrong question to be asking. You see, four months isn’t a lot of time to get a product as dynamic as Google Wave into a presentable format. The development version has had bugs and a high crash percentage.

So, with 100,000 invites going out on September 30th, is Google’s real-time communication platform ready for the spotlight? Or will Google have to push back the launch?

Google Wave Is Getting a Lot of Updates

Google Wave is still a developer product, which means that it’s supposed to be unstable, buggy, and under constant flux. But the September 30th release means that Google needs to have the product stable and (mostly) functional. Otherwise, the average consumer could lose faith in the product. If it crashes even 20% of the time, it will turn people off. These are things that developers will tolerate, but casual users will not.

That’s why Google’s been on an upgrading spree. On September 3rd, Google launched the “ChooChoo” update to Wave, which included new text editing options, a new menu for Google Wave Gadgets, and more.

However, the backend changes are more important. Yesterday was the first of two major updates to prepare Google Wave for primetime, an overhaul of the Operational Transformation code of Wave. The goal was to improve the stability of Wave’s core. Here’s the explanation from Gregory Dalesandre, Google Wave’s Product Manager:

“We are just about ready to roll-out an overhaul of our Operational Transformation code. It enables both better stability at the core of Wave as well as (soon) the opportunity to talk to other Wave Servers that are being built outside of Google.”

…

“This sort of upgrade is something we can’t reasonably do once we’ve launched our wider preview on September 30, which means that we need to perform this upgrade now and another similar one in about a week.”

As an initial user of Wave, I have to tell you: things have gotten much more stable. It still has a slow response time in certain situations and it can still crash, but these things happen far less often than they used to.

So is Google Wave ready for its debut? Google certainly seems intent to meet its mark and if the next upgrade goes well, Google Wave may very well be prepped for the limelight at the end of this month.
