Ribbit ribbit…

Phone technology and innovation has long been dictated by the large telcos - but what happens when you approach traditional phone technology in a Web 2.0 manner? You end up with Ribbit

Its the next generation phone platform that brings together the mobile phone and the wide variety of other communication devices that have become integral to our daily lives - Facebook, MSN, Twitter, Skype, in fact pretty much anything as in true web 2.0 fashion the site is built on a open source platform allowing developers full access to its functionality and the opportunity to innovate further.

Imagine your mobile phone ringing, but you’ve left it in the car, so you answer it from your facebook profile instead. As you pick up the the call, you select caller id, which rather than just letting you know who is calling, feeds you their current facebook status, twitter messages, myspace blogs in fact every detail you have about that person!

well hello again

After a brief hiatus, the Lab blog is back up and full of beans. As we were moving gear from Balmain to St. Leonards in a recent change of digs, the server fell out the back of the company Volvo in the cross city tunnel. It was rescued by a couple of students, repurposed and given a new assignment as a dedicated Botanicalls server. We tracked the Twits down though after noticing some uncommonly green areas of Redfern, and everything’s back to normal (although there’s a couple of wilting gardenias who haven’t yet forgiven us).

Thank you for your concerned enquiries, it’s good to be missed and you’re all on the top of our Christmas card list (sure you’ll be happy about that).

In other news, James is considering getting a tattoo of two seagulls fighting over a chip.
