Without you, the community and users, we are nothing. And with your help we can be much, much more.
If you've got a few extra minutes, we'd be highly grateful if you could do a things to help us out. None of this will cost you any money, just your time. Our immediate goal here is to increase our visibility. More visibility gets us more users, which makes it easier for us to get more investment, which makes it so we can make the server better, etc...
Let me make this crystal clear- we don't want you shilling anywhere.
What does that mean? Don't go on Digg and just say, "imVOX Rocks!". While you'd think it helps, it adds nothing to the discussion and it honestly makes us look bad- because the communities are highly suspect of people with fake accounts who are acting overly positive. We admit that we've got flaws and we aren't hiding from them. When talking about imVOX we want you to be completely honest, real and not acting like a fanboi. We appreciate fans, but make sure you're contributing something solid to the conversation. Flame wars aren't useful.

Digg (http://digg.com)- Post a link to us on Digg (don't do it if there's already a recent active link). Digg up and comment on existing links about us. Be honest, yourself and don't think that you have to be only positive. We're not looking for shills- just community participation.

We need video tutorials, reviews, comparisons, etc.
Anyone making something as iconic and viral as the Leeroy Jenkins video (http://bit.ly/4DmjqM) using imVOX will get a special secret and amazing prize. I've already called Ben to see if he could make another, but it was his last wish from the genie bottle.

SlideShare- We could really use someone making a powerpoint style presentation about either how to use imVOX or a comparison of voice services

Post links to imVOX stuff in your feed
Forums- Go spread the word about imVOX. But please, don't spam it. Talk to friends about it in forums that you frequent and are well trusted/liked in. If you're thinking about posting about imVOX within your first 100 posts on another forum, you're probably doing it wrong.
Of course anyone that ends up making the next huge internet meme that has to do with imVOX will be my favorite person in the world. Photoshop use is encouraged, as are outrageous songs, lolcats and strange sayings.
When you do create something or post a link- report it here so that we can all check it out, digg it up, share it, etc.
