Here’s some take-aways from my last Enterprise Voice Mashup project. Thought I’d record them for posterity… share them with who cares
The up-front planning was very critical, and helped the back-end go much smoother. Our program manager was excellent, and put together a cross functional team that really covered the bases. Our team [...]
Jott is a true diamond in the rough.
The premise is quite simple. Sign on to Jott, upload your contact list, call their number and leave a message. The message is translated and forwarded to the contact, or group, as an e-mail. So, if you’re driving down the highway and you want to leave [...]
Well, off I go to the ClueCon 2007 Conference. If you will be there, I will be speaking with John Hibel, VP of Marketing for Voxeo, at 1:30, and we’ll be describing the demonstration voice mashup I wrote using Voxeo’s Evolution Designer, Amazon EC2 and Ruby on Rails. If you can’t make it [...]
With all this talk about Amazon Turks, I wanted to push another idea out there which I think is just as important : EC2 and S3.
EC2 stands for the “Elastic Computing Cloud”, which is Amazon’s rent-a-server service. Need a server for an hour? Rent it for an hour. You package your standard web-like program [...]
Hats off to Anh Nguyen for his Surprise Dialer, my favorite of the student mashups (not as psychologically jarring as Summer’s) at the ETel show. Surprise Dialer accepts voice mail messages from a number of people, then delivers them all at once to someone on their birthday. Having been a recent victim of [...]
Apparently, Mr. Pulver has found Twitter. Twitter is a pretty cool application. You can send it text messages, which it aggregates and sends to other people on your buddy list. The main application is active presence, as in, “I’m jumping on a plane” or “Sad because I’m a Celtics fan.” Others who [...]
So I’ve been banging this VoIP mashup drum pretty hard. I came across this video with Sue Teller, and I’ve got to tell you, I think she gets it more than nearly any telecom executive I’ve ever met. As I watched this, I wasn’t sure if she was serious or not - [...]
A few days ago, David Beckemeyer asked where all the Web 2.0 developers were. David’s the founder of Phone Gnome, which provides a web API for making next generation telephony applications. Since the API was released, only a few companies have taken advantage of it. In a response to comments, David clarifies [...]
From the beginning of our lives, we found that we liked little, versatile things that we can put together in great ways. Legos- what an amazing thing they are. You don’t need to tell a seven year old how to put them together to make a space ship.
My interest is in VoIP mashups. VoIP mashups [...]
I just had a sick thought.
I’m presenting tomorrow in the “VoIP Spam : Challenges and Solutions” panel, which means (of course) I’m writing it now. The other distinguished members of the panel appear are vendors, so my supposition is that they are selling solutions. Since I’m not a vendor, I’m writing about challenges. [...]
