VOIP (not VIOP) is Voice Over IP. Skype using VOIP for it's computer telephone service. Vonage uses VOIP. With Vonage, you get an Internet to telephone handset adapter. When you plug it into any high speed internet network connection, the standard telephone has a dial tone. I bring my Vonage telephone everywhere when I travel. I have used it at home, in Boston and Hong Kong. It is really cool.
Read this tomorrow and you are all set.
Good luck and Happy Computing!

BLOG: (Derived from "WebLog") An open online journal of sorts, with periodic updates from the author. Blogs can be anything from diaries, to politcal commentary, to news feeds. The most common blogs are opinion-based.
VIOP: I'm not sure what that is, presumably you mean VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) which is a means by which voice data (like in a telephone) is converted to a digital signal and sent over the internet. Provides a very cheap means of long-distance phone calls, but quality suffers slightly.

A BLOG is short for "Web Log" and is a forum, much like this, where people go to discuss a topic and/or post their opinion online.
I think you mean VoIP, which means Voice over IP. This is basically using the internet to have a voice conversation with another person. VoIP technology involves using a "Call Manager" attached to your network, as well as special VoIP telephones. Your voice is changed to a digital signal, through the call manager and routed to the correct destination (same as regular web traffic) through the internet. Then the digital signal is again changed from a digital signal to a voice signal to complete your conversation.

A blog is a user-generated website where entries are made in journal style and displayed in a reverse chronological order.
Blogs often provide commentary or news on a particular subject, such as food, politics, or local news; some function as more personal online diaries. A typical blog combines text, images, and links to other blogs, web pages, and other media related to its topic. The ability for readers to leave comments in an interactive format is an important part of most early blogs. Most blogs are primarily textual although some focus on photographs (photoblog), sketchblog, videos (vlog), or audio (podcasting), and are part of a wider network of social media.
The term "blog" is derived from "Web log." "Blog" can also be used as a verb, meaning to maintain or add content to a blog.
The term blog is commonly acredited to the web-journal pioneer Travis Petler. He coined the term on his personal blog in early September of 1997 while studying at Brown University. His use of the word spread to other college campus' where other weblogs were present.
VOIP
Voice over Internet Protocol, also called VoIP, IP Telephony, Internet telephony, Broadband telephony, Broadband Phone and Voice over Broadband is the routing of voice conversations over the Internet or through any other IP-based network.
Companies providing VoIP service are commonly referred to as providers, and protocols which are used to carry voice signals over the IP network are commonly referred to as Voice over IP or VoIP protocols. They may be viewed as commercial realizations of the experimental Network Voice Protocol (1973) invented for the ARPANET providers. Some cost savings are due to utilizing a single network - see attached image[1] - to carry voice and data, especially where users have existing underutilized network capacity that can carry VoIP at no additional cost. VoIP to VoIP phone calls are sometimes free, while VoIP to PSTN may have a cost that's borne by the VoIP user.
There are two types of PSTN to VoIP services: DID (Direct Inward Dialing) and access numbers. DID will connect the caller directly to the VoIP user while access numbers require the caller to input the extension number of the VoIP user. Access numbers are usually charged as a local call to the caller and free to the VoIP user while DID usually has a monthly fee.[2] There are also DIDs that are free to the VoIP user but chargeable to the caller.
