Since my in-laws live in Sweden, I would use the Time to Call app to call them.

#2 By 588184 (38.115.185.130) at Monday, August 22, 2011 01:33:43 PM
I would use the app to call me friend in Italy who I haven't spoken with in a year.

#3 By 25030 (208.253.109.158) at Monday, August 22, 2011 01:39:47 PM
It would be a great way to keep in touch with overseas relatives!

#4 By 588196 (132.170.43.122) at Monday, August 22, 2011 01:50:00 PM
i would use it to call some friends abroad

#5 By 588196 (132.170.43.122) at Monday, August 22, 2011 01:51:45 PM
i think you should add a search bar to the top of the page to make it easier to find things on the page

#6 By 88850 (120.63.8.160) at Monday, August 22, 2011 01:56:57 PM
I work alone in the US and my family stays in India so Vonage Time to Call would be a perfect way to call them more frequently.

ActiveWin is around for soooo long and still going. A nice addition to the site would be an easier way to view and go through past news. There is search by date and keywords, but viewing all posts in a month or year would be even better.

My twitter username is same. Facebook is gauravkale.

#7 By 588202 (166.248.1.122) at Monday, August 22, 2011 02:06:49 PM
I would use vonage time for connecting with my wife when she travels overseas. @Ironcity1861

#8 By 588207 (98.226.112.125) at Monday, August 22, 2011 02:10:38 PM
I would use it to keep in touch with my family and friends while I study abroad! @jessi_nadine

#9 By 588213 (173.63.172.120) at Monday, August 22, 2011 02:16:24 PM
I would use the Vonage Time to Call to call my nephew who is in Japan and other relatives who live in Germany. Thanks so much.

#10 By 588202 (166.248.1.122) at Monday, August 22, 2011 02:18:08 PM
You could put a search button on the home page so that I could easily find the topic that I am looking for. @ironcity1861

#11 By 588213 (173.63.172.120) at Monday, August 22, 2011 02:20:52 PM
I would love to see information on suggested apps by both description and top rated. Either free or low cost.
Thanks so much.

i would just like to win but i know my chances are not so good but i hope luck is on my side.

i would suggest trying to make video chats available to user's, nothing like really getting to talk about a topic but well managed and controlled with respect to others opinions.

also possibly live chats with maybe video on some really hot topics like hp and their tablet as well as the up and coming windows 8.

I will use the iPad and the app to call my mother in-law to ask her to stop sending me salted cookies.
Also for you guys, you could definitely redesign the whole page (keeping the content); sincerely, I'm a web designer and I designed this kind of sites 10 years ago.

#14 By 588318 (98.236.66.26) at Monday, August 22, 2011 05:23:30 PM
I would use the iPad to multi-task in meetings, play angry birds while driving, and browse activewin.com and click on every single ad!

As for Vonage I could use this to contact my cousin's in Europe and use it for when I am in Europe to call my folks at home!

Website additions:
Mandatory passwords for users! - cuts down on spam
use reCHAPTA to validate users

Maybe create an archive section where you can put information and blog post on anything pre-windows xp in.

- I would download the Time to Call app and let my husband use it to call his family members in Italy and Mexico.

- One thing you could do to improve the website is shorten the sidebar on the left and make it static so that you could access those options no matter where you are on the blog.

#16 By 588442 (174.63.22.3) at Monday, August 22, 2011 08:47:14 PM

I would call my sister in London

I wish you could bring more Xbox content to the site

I would call my Friends in the UK and talk to camp staff members that were in other countries.

#18 By 588463 (67.169.176.33) at Monday, August 22, 2011 09:27:14 PM
As an addition i would add a donation or acout us page talking about why do this and how to support the site.

#19 By 588479 (50.105.18.166) at Monday, August 22, 2011 09:51:07 PM
I was use the app to call my wife's relatives in China and Taiwan. Especially her elderly grandmother in Taiwan.

#20 By 588481 (190.238.196.191) at Monday, August 22, 2011 09:53:57 PM
I would use Vonage because I use a lot diferent software to call to my mom and girlfriend who live far from me (Venezuela and Belgum), I used skype but i find it expensive now, and Vonage seems very atractive in rates.

#21 By 588484 (67.204.10.153) at Monday, August 22, 2011 09:55:05 PM
I would use the app to call family and friends overseas, it's so expensive to call overseas, this would help so much and I could call often

#22 By 588481 (190.238.196.191) at Monday, August 22, 2011 09:56:02 PM
I think the info in the site is really good but it lacks some design, bigger fonts, more clean background and a consistent minimalistic design, the site loads really fast now and it is a good point, some touchs of clean and minimalistic design, better use of fonts (consistent size in the post), and it will be really great. Thanks.

#23 By 588479 (50.105.18.166) at Monday, August 22, 2011 09:56:22 PM
To get your articles out to facebook and twitter you could put a "Facebook Like button" and a "Twitter Tweet button" on each article. See http://thedigitallifestyle.com/w/index.php/2011/08/21/win-an-32gb-ipad-2-with-tdl-and-vonage/ for an example.

#24 By 588484 (67.204.10.153) at Monday, August 22, 2011 09:57:39 PM
I would add color to this website, it's so gloomy and just plain borring, sorry, like someone else suggested a search button would be beneficial.

Tweeted! http://twitter.com/#!/Scrambled_eggs/status/105870068113608704

I would use it to call my friends over in Europe!

Two things, a search bar on top for easier findings on passed threads. Second, make text bigger and everything very simple. It's just easier and better to look at (not that anything is confusing) just think apple.com !

Thanks for the chance!

#27 By 359648 (70.18.209.202) at Tuesday, August 23, 2011 01:43:30 AM
I would use this app because I have many relatives in China who I don't speak to often, and this would make it much more affordable.

#28 By 359648 (70.18.209.202) at Tuesday, August 23, 2011 01:51:33 AM
You should add buttons so that people can share interesting articles on various social networks, e.g. Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn and Google+.

I've completed all four entries (Twitter: @alee67 and Facebook: alee67.)

#29 By 588720 (68.192.163.141) at Tuesday, August 23, 2011 06:16:33 AM
I would use this to talk to my Daughter when she studies abroad early next year.

#30 By 588720 (68.192.163.141) at Tuesday, August 23, 2011 06:19:42 AM
I am new to this site but I think a facebook connect sign in would make it easier and perhaps create more users.

#31 By 23443 (99.21.53.46) at Tuesday, August 23, 2011 06:40:14 AM
I don't know if this qualifies as a site suggestion, but an app for my phone would be nice. :)

#32 By 588748 (216.139.124.234) at Tuesday, August 23, 2011 07:08:51 AM
I would use Time to Call to call all my relatives in Greece and the college friends who've moved to different countries over the years.

#33 By 588748 (216.139.124.234) at Tuesday, August 23, 2011 07:11:29 AM
I tweeted: https://twitter.com/#!/Jimmy_The_Geek/status/105973828844388353
Liked on Facebook.
Commented how I would use the app and now I'm making a suggestion. Integrated search or at least easily accessible search for the site.

#34 By 588752 (173.27.208.50) at Tuesday, August 23, 2011 07:16:17 AM

I could really use to Vonage to call my family more often, I have family in Texas, Mexico and Denmark, would love to talk to them without having to worry about the time or if I can afford it. Thank you for this great opportunity.

#37 By 588752 (173.27.208.50) at Tuesday, August 23, 2011 07:23:08 AM
I myself would like to bigger icons and to see more images on the site.

#38 By 588774 (96.235.208.55) at Tuesday, August 23, 2011 07:52:32 AM
I could use this app to call friends all over the world, specifically in Chile & Kyrgyzstan.

I like the idea of adding more photos to your website. I am a very visual person and it makes things easier to understand if I see photos along with your posts :)

I completed all 4:

I'd love to use the app to communicate more with my family abroad in England and Jamaica...they don't like social networking so much; they're old fashioned :)

A new feature I'd suggest is to incorporate the site and it's posts more into Facebook, Twitter and now even Google+, making it easy to both share articles amongst friends and put the site more out there.

-- I've also liked your page and post on Facebook (Name's Imari Arnum) and followed you on Twitter and tweeted here: https://twitter.com/#!/imari0n/status/106002482592878593

Thanks for the giveaway (:

#47 By 359631 (99.227.242.69) at Tuesday, August 23, 2011 01:40:55 PM
For some reason, the system posted my previous comment twice, so I am editing this as my second comment.

I would like a "remember me" option for my computer. It's a home computer, and doesn't get used by others, that way I wouldn't have to keep signing in to comment - mind you - not that active a poster.

Thanks for the chance to win!

I would use the app to call all of the friends I made while researching in Denmark last year.

#49 By 589046 (70.116.10.31) at Tuesday, August 23, 2011 02:58:14 PM
I travel to Africa andam unable to keep in touch with my family because international calling is so expensive. The Tim to Call app would make it possible for me to keep in touch with those that I love

#50 By 589046 (70.116.10.31) at Tuesday, August 23, 2011 02:59:44 PM
A new site feature could be a reader recommend area. Somewhere where the top posts or populars posts can be recommended by your followers.

#51 By 28801 (65.90.202.10) at Tuesday, August 23, 2011 03:00:22 PM
I need to use Vonage to call my sister in Singapore and tell her that I survived the great East Coast Earth Quake of 2011 (and also that I won an iPad 2 from Activewin, Vonage, and Ivy Worldwide).

I think the new site needs a user-initiated thread feature. This might be fun place to stoke the fanboy flames on slow news days or simply to post a “how-to” question.

Additionally, a friend feature would be cool so one user could friend another and if accepted they could access each other’s contact info. This way, the next time Parker is in Canada, he and Latch can party all night.

#52 By 589046 (70.116.10.31) at Tuesday, August 23, 2011 03:04:35 PM

#54 By 589077 (76.25.19.98) at Tuesday, August 23, 2011 04:03:08 PM
I too would like to see the site tied into Facebook and Google +, making the sharing of information between friends much easier, and word would spread quicker about the site.

#55 By 589085 (67.246.54.148) at Tuesday, August 23, 2011 04:10:49 PM
I could use Vonage app to call my cousin Irene who has been working in London the past 7 months. We can't affford the phone calls, so we only communicate on facebook and in emails.....would be great to be able to really chat with her again.

With Time to Call, there's no ongoing commitment. I have family in China so Time to Call would save me money and easy to use.

#57 By 589085 (67.246.54.148) at Tuesday, August 23, 2011 04:17:42 PM
Suggestions for your site - first, this may sound petty, but it needs some style.....the aesthetics here are from the 90's and not appealing to first time visitors. Many sites that I've been to have all been adding those buttons - google +1, Like (facebook), tweet this, stumble, etc. All these buttons promote your site and draw in more visitors which I'm sure is your goal. I think someone also mentioned a search function is needed, and that is for sure.

Completed all four entries ! Thanks for the chance to win.

#58 By 589087 (76.184.218.218) at Tuesday, August 23, 2011 04:20:18 PM
I would like to see a search bar/feature at the top of every page. This would make searching articles/keywords/etc. much easier. Thanks!

#59 By 589169 (24.184.166.72) at Tuesday, August 23, 2011 06:55:22 PM
I think this would e cheapper and easy to use to stay in touch with my family & friends in Europe!

#60 By 589169 (24.184.166.72) at Tuesday, August 23, 2011 06:56:13 PM
I would love to be able to search this site for content I am looking for.

I would like to win because I feel like a dinosaur chained to my desktop computer.
Everyone seems to be around town surfing and playing angry birds. I'm not sure
why the birds are angry but if I had an iPad2 I would like to find out. Are
they hungry?

Post a comment on this ActiveWin.com post with a short sentence or two suggesting a new site feature for our developer (be constructive) (1 entry)


I would like to see pictures next to the main articles - ones that catch my eye and make me want to read them.

Note: I did all 4 entries. :)

#64 By 589248 (128.61.16.149) at Tuesday, August 23, 2011 09:19:21 PM
Vonage's Time To Call would be an awesome tool for me to keep in touch with my folks and my girlfriend in India an ocean away.

@grajasekar on twitter and "Gaurav Rajasekar" on facebook. Did the first two entries as well.

#65 By 589250 (67.161.107.196) at Tuesday, August 23, 2011 09:19:33 PM
I would use the app to call my in-laws, they are the only family I have and they live on the other side of the country.

#66 By 589248 (128.61.16.149) at Tuesday, August 23, 2011 09:21:35 PM
As far as improving the site goes, please incorporate something like Disqus into the comments system, also the site doesn't even seem to ask for one's email ID when signing up. Finally, please add a bit of class to the design. The site seems a bit too simplistic despite the excellent content.

@grajasekar on twitter and "Gaurav Rajasekar" on facebook. Did the first two entries and the third entry post as well.

This is my final entry.

With family in Honduras it will nice to have a cheaper option.

#68 By 589275 (76.218.19.136) at Tuesday, August 23, 2011 09:54:32 PM
It would be nice to be able to see the comments form the front page by a plus or something instead of having to change to the individual post.

#69 By 589348 (70.181.124.185) at Wednesday, August 24, 2011 12:55:29 AM
I would use the Time to Call app to call my 2-year-old nephew in New Zealand because he is just learning how to talk!

#70 By 589348 (70.181.124.185) at Wednesday, August 24, 2011 01:02:58 AM
I think that changing the design/layout of the site would make it more visually appealing. Joomla has some great layouts and extensions that could also help with the organization of the site.

#71 By 589489 (84.120.8.166) at Wednesday, August 24, 2011 05:45:56 AM
I would use it to call my friends overseas.

You can put really good offers

For site, add a search engine, and make it so clicking on the title of a post goes to the full post and comments, not to another site.

#74 By 589610 (200.37.69.62) at Wednesday, August 24, 2011 10:32:18 AM

#75 By 589610 (200.37.69.62) at Wednesday, August 24, 2011 10:33:24 AM
About the page, of course you need to change the design to a modern 2.0 or HTML5 :). Facebook Buttons, make some ajax requests, and put some comboboxes to the register form :). And of course many emoticons ^_^

#76 By 589628 (74.61.199.134) at Wednesday, August 24, 2011 10:59:59 AM

I could use Vonage Time to Call to call my relatives residing abroad.Because of the expensive International call rates , it feels quite impossible to get in touch with them always but Vonage Time To Call app seems to solve this issue.I gave the app a try & i'm amazed to see how cheap Vonage's Time To Call App charges for most countries i would like to ever call.

It will be a boon to us for those whose relatives are residing abroad because we can get in touch with them for cheap.

Thank you very much for the opportunity.I really do hope i win. :)

A search button is clearly what is missing in this app. That would be my only improvement.

#88 By 589831 (92.58.160.220) at Wednesday, August 24, 2011 06:24:31 PM
Timetocall app is great to avoid roaming charges. I am going to Luthuania for the eurobasket competition in september, and this app will save me tons of money when calling back home.

This is an awesome site that has a lot of good information! Part of my regular job is to help design/create websites and the only suggestion that I would have is to display some more graphics/pictures throughout your site (as long as it doesn't take away from the content). Sometimes it helps draw attention to the content.

#106 By 589976 (70.94.30.112) at Thursday, August 25, 2011 12:25:51 AM
A constructive comment about your site would be to add a little more visual appeal--maybe some colors, images. It seems like you have quality content; just need a brush up on your look/branding to establish a connection with your visitors.

Mr. ActiveWin.com designer: how about some pictures to liven up the site? I do read articles as well, but how about a little eye candy every now and then! Also, I think it might be more convenient if the facebook/twitter buttons were near top somewhere, not along the left.

For a constructive comment, I'd love to see the website in a smaller area. I feel like, on my large screen, the text scrolls really far out throughout the entire browser window and it makes it harder to read. I'd also love to see the titles on posts in a larger font as it's hard to skim through them to see interesting news.

I would use this app to call friends in Germany. At the moment I use a phone card with my land line and it is a total pain. When the minutes on the phone card eventually run out, then I would like to go to a better system. "Time to Call" might be that better system.

As for my suggestion to your developer, I think you might want to overhaul the look of your entire website. Honestly it is really not very easy or pleasant to read or browse. Maybe find some sites that have a better look and go for something like that. I like the format of the Gear Diary site a lot. It is very easy to read and navigate. The Gadgeteer is also well done, but more for the pictures. I wouldn't say your website is as bad as a Dr. Bronner's soap bottle, but it comes close. I agree with a lot of the suggestions previous posters have made. I am not trying to be mean, just constructive.

new site feature- um, is it just me or is this kind of like a site from the 90's? I am not trying to be rude here, but hey- modernize yo! comments, pictures, colors!

I would use the time to call my son in Germany I have not seen him in 22 years and it is very expensive for me to call him.

Please add a search button.

My name is Brittany Hardy, and I liked the FB page. I also tweeted and am @fathomMYlove on Twitter.

I would use the Vonage Time to Call app to call my grandma while I'm studying abroad in Spain. I love my grandma to death and can't go one day without talking to her!

I think the site needs new vibrant colors like orange, blue, green, etc.! It needs something that makes it stand out. Also, I think a Twitter or Facebook widget would be really nice to add so that fans can keep up with what's going on!

I'd use this to call my BFF when she heads to Japan with her military husband soon. She'll be there for a 3 years and it'll be tough. But I'm proud of the sacrifices her family makes.

I would use vonage to call my friends from my small university town who are now living and working around the world!

I would suggest that a new window open up when a link is clicked, it saves from having to go back and forth.

Also, I highly recommend adding more color as was suggested!

I was wondering if your developer has a way of getting apps/software for use to firefighters. Right now we've only got one app available for firefighters work schedule. Us firefighters could really use a little love in the app department.

I would use the Time to Call app to call my buddy Tony who was transferred to Japan for work.

My thoughts on the site are that it could really use better tables to organize the information. It was hard to sift through some of the categories, but not impossible.

Thanks for the chance to win! Hope i've done enough to get the 8 entries.

Thanks, everyone. We are going through all of the posts and will determine a winner this week.

One more suggestion - Set up a hard timelimit for judging contests. If the alotted time expires, then all participants (or at least me) get the grand prize.
