Loading ...Would You Buy a Telephone From a Company Named Ribbit?
Can an untested Silicon Valley startup with the slightly embarrassing name Ribbit take on corporate giants like Microsoft and Avaya?
On Monday, Ribbit, based in Mountain View, Calif., will announce a telephone web service intended to make it possible for programmers to add telephone features to any Web page. This isn’t just a widget for talking to your friends, like Skype and its many “Voice 2.0” imitators.
Rather, Ribbit is offering a full telephone switchboard on its server, connected both to the Internet and to the public-switched telephone network. That makes it possible for developers ranging from companies offering customer-relationship management services, to online shopping web sites to add a phone feature by just embedding Adobe Flash into a website. (Om Malik has written a quick look at some of the technical features of Ribbit.)
