Todd Pinkerton

this week I’m in San Francisco at the O’reilly Emerging Telephony conference, chaired by my good friend Surj Patel. The conference is all about how the old-school world of telephones and phone networks are now merging with the Internet. So now, anyone who can write a web application can create a voice service. This is part of the inspiration behind Ringfo.
Some cool stuff so far : Adhearsion, a ruby on rails interface to the Asterisk PBX. My former Colleague from Orange Sunil Vemuri has a company working on recording and searching all your phone conversations; and Chris Sacca gave an inspiring talk about US broadband penetration and Google’s muni wifi project in Mountain View.

More details when I return…
