A lengthy Tom Keating post on Jaxtr gives me an impression that both VoIP and Social Networking are now coming together to form a common platform for users to share their views, profiles, blogs, groups, photos, music and videos. Its a healthy trend in the current voice market.

The launch Jaxtr public beta breaches the gap between VoIP and social networking. The use and application of Jaxtr is very simple, but versatile.

It is a free service, using which you can make unlimited outbound international calls from your mobile phone and can make unlimited voice mails.

With the free jaxtr service, users can link their phones with their online network to hear from callers worldwide while keeping their existing phone numbers private. And jaxtr is not just about hearing from people who visit a user’s profile or blog.

Jaxtr is in constant touch with the leading social networking sites including MySpace, Blogger, LiveJournal, Facebook, LinkedIn, Friendster, Flickr, YouTube, Wikipedia and eBay to avail its services to their users.
