JoeDeveloper.NET and BroadSoft launched the first-ever mashup of carrier-grade VoIP features with Facebook. JoeDeveloper.NET's
Facebook application, called Click2Message, integrates with BroadSoft's BroadWorks VoIP application platform. With Click2Message, Facebook users can enable their friends and colleagues to call them via their Facebook profiles with just one click.
The Click2Message application enables click-to-dial calling using any device -- home phone, mobile or office desk phone. Facebook users can add the application to their profile pages, allowing their networks of friends and business connections to call them, without revealing their own phone numbers to the caller. The basic version of the Click2Message application is now available free of charge to any U.S.-based Facebook user.
JoeDeveloper.NET is part of the new
BroadSoft Xtended Developers Program, which gives developers access to APIs for the creation of new applications integrated with BroadSoft's BroadWorks advanced voice features. The Click2Message Facebook application is available on both Facebook and
BroadSoft's Xtended Marketplace, an online portal where developers can promote their mashups to the millions of BroadSoft global end-users and its hundreds of service provider customers.
Telecom service providers use BroadSoft's VoIP application software to deliver IP-based communications services to businesses and consumers. A sample of BroadSoft's nearly 300 customers includes Tier 1 carriers Verizon, Etisalat (UAE) and Cable & Wireless Jamaica, and competitive operators SimpleSignal, XO Communications and Internode (Australia).
JoeDeveloper.NET will soon release a premium version of Click2Message that will include the following advanced features:
- Low-cost outbound calling
- Call forwarding
- Do Not Disturb
- Voicemail-to-text transcription
