bookofjoe MoneyMaker®™© — OpenLine

Since forever I've enjoyed staying on the line after the person on the other end of the phone conversation says "Good-bye," thinking they hung up — but didn't.

With the advent of cellphones as opposed to antediluvian wired iterations, it's much more likely to result in an open line.

When people put the phone in their pocket or bag and then go about their business, you hear all kinds of great stuff.

OK joe, enough about your nosey parker habits — cut to the chase already.

All right.

The idea is that using a Vonage or Skype-like interface, you leave your computer open to any and all who choose to listen, and in return get to listen in on someone else's location.

No one knows who they're listening to or where in the world they are, so you might get some language you haven't a clue about.

The premium version would let you pick a country and maybe more.

Nice, eh?

All yours for free.

Worth every penny you paid for it.

Wait a minute....
