BT Reverses Web21c into Ribbit
Written by martyndavies on Sep 26, 2008 - 08:30 AM
In a surprise move, British Telecom have announced that their existing Web21c telephony tools will be folded into BT's recently acquired Ribbit. Web21c is a multi-language toolkit that allows developers to create mashups using BT's core services, for example SMS, location and call control. Silicon Valley-based Ribbit, which became part of BT in July, provides Flex-based call control, allowing in-browser apps to do voice calling without need of a separate softphone application.
Commentators generally expected that Ribbit would become part of the Web21c toolkit, rather than the other way around. But it seems that from October 10th, apps wanting a RESTful API to telephony services will be accessing them via Ribbit rather than the Web21c interface they have used in the past.

Complementing the server side tools provided by our Web21C SDK, Ribbit brings a host of client side features that will enable you to bring together voice calling and Web 2.0 experiences, turning voice into a rich feature that can be added to any application, on any device. |
