Vonage may be competition, but they don't undermine the idea of charging the user the way Skype or Yahoo Instant Messenger do. An interesting piece by Clay Shirky.

Puzzling demographics: Who supports Kerry instead of Edwards According to what factors are American voters choosing between John Kerry and John Edwards for the Democratic presidential nomination? Extensive exit polls and voter surveys available from CNN.com's coverage of the primaries provide a wealth of information to help us investigate this question. However, this data seems to reveal more puzzles than answers. Examining the surveys in a few of the states where Kerry and Edwards placed first and second, we find a counter-intuitive correlation between a voter's economic class and his or her candidate preference.
