Buy and Sell

Egypt-based VO friend Mahmoud Taji called the other day.  He lives in Cairo, Egypt, but the area code on the caller ID told me it was the Seattle area.  Smart guy, that Taj…he set himself up with an American-style phone number through Magic-Jack.

This is one of those “as seen on TV” gizmos that actually is a fairly inexpensive and innovative way to use your computer to make phone calls.  In that sense, it’s like Skype, but you can use your regular phone handset if you want AND, you can choose a phone number area code from just about any part of the country.  There’s voice-mail, call-forwarding and many of the other features you’ll find in a POTS phone (plain old telephone system).

But I digress.

I’d never really talked to Taji before, so it was fun to hear him in real time.  Great voice.  You have to listen hard to hear any foreign accent at all.  In the course of the conversation, though, we talked about his newest online venture:  VOICE OVER BUY AND SELL:  “…If you have a piece of equipment you would like to sell and aren’t interested in going through any of the auction sites then why don’t you post a listing on VO Buy & Sell..”

And that pretty much says it all.  The site is easy to navigate, intuitive, and as with all the online work Taji does, it’s visually appealing.  Nice work, Mahmoud!  I hope it’s a big success…I know I’ll be listing something soon.
