Is Fring's Open VoIP/Messaging API Right For Your App?

Developers focused on VoIP and messaging applications should take note of a post today on our sister site WebWorkerDaily, about a newly open API from Fring. As more and more open source developers are focusing on software-as-a-service (SaaS) apps online, free ways to integrate VoIP, messaging and telephony tools can add a lot of value. We've previously covered Ribbit's open telephony APIs from this perspective. According to WWD, the Fring API offers developers the ability to build Fring add-ons, with access to core services like talk, chat, presence, and file transfer. Check it out, although we agree that the iPhone SDK and Google's Android may woo more mobile developers.


Ribbit Proves an Important Point for Open Web Telephony APIs

Internet telephony startup Ribbit announced today that one of its long-standing proof of concept projects is now available: an integration with Salesforce.com's on-demand customer relationship management applications. Ribbit-handled voice messages can now be integrated with Salesforce in various ways, including having them converted to text, and much more. While there is proof of concept behind this integration for Ribbit and its commercial efforts, there is also proof of concept here for open source developers who have their eyes on the growing synergies between online telephony and open source.
