Those kids are going to be our size up front. Tristan is really coming along as an all- around deadly volleyball player. She plays great around the net and she also has a really good serve.

I think our biggest strength this year is our height. We've been spending a few years to try and convince a few of the basketball players to come out and play, and this year we got a couple of them.

They always cover the floor well and they dig well. Our strength is our outside hitters and they defend the outside hitters as well as anyone. What they lack in height they more than make up with their service and by covering the floor.

Coach (Kelley) and I were talking before the game and joking that we always seem to be evenly matched. It comes down to who has the height or the service or the defense that day. We shook hands at the end and she told me she wasn't looking forward to seeing us in our house because we'd probably take that fifth game.

We find
ourselves in a much different place in our lifecycle than that product
is and we continue to look at their progress as well as the question of
public IM interoperability, ... We'll see a variety of
protocols that we as a federation hub will need to support longer term.

People are still seeing a lot of their needs
being met on the current paradigm which has to do with a free client and
pretty solid services that they are getting from the public services, ... That's probably one of the biggest barriers. What they have
is often times good enough.
