Ribbit Workshop
Add Communication to your Applications with Ribbit
On Sunday, October 4th, I had the change to visit a workshop about the Ribbit mobile service at the Rich Media Institute in Venice. I could see some examples how to build a Text message application in Flex or Flash and saw different ways to build a phone application. The combination between Actionscript 3 and a telephone system is quite interesting and I see a great potential in it.
The only problem with Ribbit is that they currently only in the USA operate. As soon as they will have other branches in Europe it could be a very interesting alternative to other VOIP systems because it can be build in Flash and integrated in many devices and websites. Ribbit offers many possibilities like Google Voice. A message to Text function is currently one of the coolest feature they have and I look forward to see whats the new version is going to bring.
If you think Ribbit might be a solution for you, contact me. I would like to build a Ribbit application.
