Google Wave Day Tomorrow: Ribbit Conferences In

Ribbit_logoIn Screenwerk today, Greg Sterling issued a reminder that Google will be issuing some 100,000 email invitations for newbies to enter the world of Google Wave. His column includes a review of some of the applications (which are called “extensions”) that Google will showcase for its recent participants, so they can be exposed to the many features of the new application framework.

Among those extensions is a conference calling feature developed by Ribbit, which is characterized in this press release as a mashup of Ribbit’s RESTful API with the Wave API to promote “voice collaboration”. A more colorful description of the service appears here.

As a wholly owned subsidiary of BT, Ribbit is a well-funded lab that is dedicated to promoting mash-ups of Web services, voice and text messaging. It is better illustrated on this link from Google which makes it clear that it is a Recombinant Telephony “pure play.”
