Packet8 Adds User Chat And Blogging

It seems like a general vanilla support site with some extra community interaction features. Here's a snippet from the letter they sent out.....

I'm already partial to Packet8 over other broadband phone providers. With this development maybe more folks will discover them and stop being swayed by the Vonage mass marketing media campaign. 'Bout damn time.
