What happened to your facebook application? Can you tell me what went wrong and why you're no longer providing a VOIP product on Facebook? I do see that you still have a conference call application. What went wrong? How would you have done things differently? Please respond to this thread as I rarely check the e-mail provided. Thanks. Henry

Omfut — OpenSocial is a great initiative and we're looking at it quite seriously. For now, our main focus is on getting our Facebook experience right before taking on a new platform. Stay tuned!

[...] Some VoIP Applications ARE Failing on Facebook! [Saunderslog.com] Click-to-call VOIP applications (”minute stealers”) are failing on Facebook because calling costs are low and no one wants to log into Facebook to make a call.

Hi Alec:
I added iotum to the list as a voice application and not as a voip application. You are right; it doesn’t belong to the voip application list. Nevertheless, part of the reason I added iotum was because I felt this had a potential to be a niche app for group voice communication.
I can see you guys are growing great. Keep up the great work.
Wondering if you guys have any plans for OpenSocial. I guess conference is a great application for enterprise and business users. Should be a great fit for sites like LinkedIn

Cheers,

Your point on the "minute stealers" was bang-on. As I have written many times, innovative applications – like easy click through conferencing, presence-based intelligent communications – are potential winners.

I cringe when I hear people say that they are investing in VoIP gear, or doing somersaults to save money. Save money compared to what?
