Rumor Mill: The VoIP Watch Job Pool

Over at VoIP Watch, Andy Abramson did some high-tech recruiter hunting for Telco 2.0/Web 2.0 talent a favor by creating a "Scouting Report" of the top 10 people you might want to pick up if you were planning to build and grow a Telco 2.0-style service provider or carrier.

His first two picks on the list have secured jobs. Draft choice number #1 Martin Geddes ended up at BT Design. Draft choice #2 and occasional FierceVoIP columnist Thomas "Mashups" Howe landed at Jaduka this week as the CEO. Since Jaduka is a company that has lots of voice services easily accessible through its API, "Mashups" would seem to be a perfect fit for the Texas-based company (There is the minor detail that Howe lives in Cape Cod rather than the Lone Star State, but the airlines need the business).

No sooner had Andy replenished his list with former SightSpeed CEO Peter Csathy on Sunday than Csathy ended up being snatched up by Sorenson Media as its CEO on Monday. Hmm. Was Andy trying to boost his percentages up with Csathy? Ah well, there's at least eight more people eligible.
