"If you really do not like to be bothered with the details of arranging conference calls, Lypp is for you. Calls are really easy to set up and the notifications are automatic. The new Outlook plug-in makes it even easier."
 |
|
"Lypp, the GEEENIUS conference calling service has just launched an Outlook plugin. It’s really smart. Have a look at the screenshots showing how it works. I totally forgot they have a recording and RSS feed service. I think I might give this one a go for international SMS Text News podcasts. I’ll talk to CEO Erik and see if that’s possible."
 |
|
"I was talking to EriK Lagerway, CEO of Lypp. He mentioned that they released their Outlook plug-in for Lypp today. You simply schedule a meeting like you normally would, and then press the conference button, which sets up a call in number for you and informs the attendees all in one shot. A very cool addition to an already easy to use and low cost conference calling solution."

"I'm a big fan of both 37 Signals Amazon Web Services so when I saw that pal Erik Lagerway was using it and that they've added Call Recording to their API I had to smile."
 |
|
"The Lypp API is RESTful, and supports both xml and json. The API also supports Conditional GET, PUT and DELETE. What I really like about Lypp is that the API is a first-class citizen. The application was designed with a heavy emphasis on the API to make integration with the service a primary interface."
 |
|
"The folks at Lypp formerly Gaboogie have introduced an API for their telephony service. With this API, you can create conferences on the fly for your mashup. An initial review of the API is impressive. It’s the first true REST style API for VoIP deployment that we’ve seen. Erik Lagerway,founder of Lypp, is recognized as one of the most creative minds in next generation telephony so it will be interesting to watch his company’s progress. Great technologists, a real revenue model, and a bit of investment money can certainly be combined to make a terrific business."

"We all know about the major shift that is taking place. I'm talking about the carriers becoming dumb pipes. Still, they are the one doing all the subsidizing, hence if you want a high-end phone it's much more convenient to buy it from a carrier than to pay a premium for the unlocked device."
 |
|
"Click in your browser and your phone rings. Skype needs to offer this relatively stupid, underfeatured stuff. Because this stupid stuff is faster, simpler, and more familiar than Voice Over Instant Messaging."
 |
|
"Lypp works. I can even get it to work. All I did was download Yahoo Messenger to my BlackBerry and I was ready to go. Send a phone number to my Lypp 'buddy' and my call is connected. Great for making group calls on the run and really great for anyone (like Canadians) still fighting long distance charges on their cell phone. Lypp eliminates them."
 |
|
"After launching in late September I’ve been using Lypp for making long-distance calls on my cell phone. Since the service has been free to try for October, there was no reason not to try it! To refresh your memory, Lypp works by using an IM client on your phone (MSN, YIM, Gtalk, or AIM) or desktop to send a message to a bot like "call 6045551212" and then an instant conference call is set up between you and the caller."
 |
|
"Lypp is a free group calling service that works with your existing landline or cellphone number, and launches a private testing version tomorrow. The remarkable part of this service is that it end-runs the carriers. Lypp lets you use your IM client on your phones. You send a message to Lypp with who you want to call. Lypp’s server then sends calls out, on its own dime."
 |
|
"Erik Lagerway, a former TMC blogger, is excited about his REST-based VoIP API and wholesale VoIP termination service, which he claims decreases the time to market for developers when integrating VoIP into any application. Erik emailed me, "We have built a REST-based VoIP API that will fast track VoIP Integration for any developer that understands XML," said Lypp CEO Erik Lagerway."
 |
|
"Gaboogie is organizing a contest for developers to mashup their voice-application Lypp with Highrise. There are some cool prizes up for grabs including a $3,000 Apple gift certificate for number #1 and free service from Lypp and Highrise."
 |
|
"In particular the Lypp API, coupled with the fact that you can easily instantiate calls with multiple parties via SMS and Instant Messaging, is a game-changer. The notion of spontaneous conferencing is actually, finally, possible. And if you coupled Lypp (via its API) with a smart calendar-based scheduling system you’d have yourselves a pretty kick-ass enterprise conferencing solution."
 |
|
"Lypp, a Vancouver-based mobile startup, launched recently to offer Blackberry users (and soon other devices) a way to bypass long distance charges in Canada and the US. With Lypp calls are initiated using Instant Messaging but work with your existing phone number."
 |
|
"Lypp.com (site is not yet live) is a new group calling service set to launch a private beta in September. There are a lot of conference calling services out there already, not least among them being the full blown meeting applications (GoToMeeting, WebEx). However, Lypp wants to make initiating a conference call dead simple (download free) over IM, SMS, and email. The service will be free at the time of launch (each user will get 500 minutes of free calling, no per-min charges, no monthly fees)."
 |
|
"Vancouver-based telecommunications disruptor Gaboogie has been renamed Lypp and their new service will use existing data connections and applications available on cell phones and mobile devices to give users features and pricing that the wireless carriers don’t, won’t or can’t offer."
 |
|
"Chris and I got on a big conference call with the whole Lypp team!"
 |
|
"If Gaboogie’s web-based setup delivers as promised and eliminates the need for lengthy passwords, pin numbers and other prompts, they might just succeed in getting people to actually participate in conference calls, instead of cursing and dialing and redialing, trying to connect. What more, they promise cooperation with your Google calendar as well."
 |
|
"Good news first: It works as advertised. You schedule a call for a particular time, enter in the names and numbers of the participants, and then Gaboogie calls everyone at the appointed time and puts them in the conference. The conference organizer also gets a very useful online console that lets him or her see who's on the call, change the volume of individual lines, dump people off the call, invite new people, and turn on a recorder. After a call, you can download the recording."
 |
|
"I’ve heard that line before but hopefully with Gaboogie it’s true. Gaboogie is a service that wants to take the hassle out of having to remember to set up and attend conference calls. After you schedule your calls on Gaboogie you can simply go back to whatever you were doing and Gaboogie will call you and up to three numbers per person at the set date and time."
 |
|
"Instead of a classic setup where users call in at a certain time, Gaboogie actually calls out to users when the conference is going to start. They also offer a decent web management panel which makes managing large conferences easier than having to do it via a telephone pad."
 |
|
"Gaboogie is conference calling with a twist. Instead of you calling the conference calling number, Gaboogie calls you and your meeting participants. It even handles “snooze” and ”declines” or can keep calling back until someone picks up the phone. Haven’t heard anyone doing that. Definitely a smart idea. There are few other smart features you can checkout."
 |
|
"How often, in your professional life, do you find yourself trying to setup a conference call? Gaboogie aims to make that easier for you, in classic 37 Signals fashion. Gaboogie's service makes it easy to setup a conference call between a small number of participants, and then when the time comes for the conference, dials everyone on the list."
 |
|
"Gaboogie is a web based application which removes the painfully awkward situation we all run into when we are late dialing in for a conference call, or forget altogether. Instead of requiring dial-in numbers and PINs, Gaboogie automatically calls out to each attendee and creates the conference."
 |
|
"Gaboogie eliminates the headaches and frustrations you experience when booking and attending conference calls, and replaces them with: An intuitive web interface for booking, An automated dial-out process to ensure you never need to remember dial-in numbers and PINs and A moderator console to help you manage every aspect of a call in progress."
|
|
"One of the ways to know if something is going to be great is how fast it takes to get someone to say "cool." In the case of GaBoogie, a new web based conference calling platform and service, that took all of 10 seconds. When people talk about Voice 2.0, like GrandCentral and iotum, Gaboogie is another sure fired idea whose time has come."
|
|
"You really do need a secretary to sort it all out if you want to avoid 30-40 minutes of ‘hello? no, is, hello, are, is he online, er, what’s the pin code’ rubbish. So I’m rather enamoured with the concept of Gaboogie."
 |
|
"Conference calls are not complex to set, but its process is cumbersome. That’s how Gaboogie decided to reinvent it, or at least simplify it. Instead of remembering dial-in numbers or PINs, a Gaboogie teleconference is set in two little steps. The first one is the conference setting, made within a few clicks. The second one is the most interesting one. Gaboogie automatically calls all the participants — even the moderator."
 |
|
"Gaboogie is an online conference calling service with a twist. Instead of someone having to run around hustling everyone to log on to the conference at a particular time, this system calls each participant on the dot to make sure the conference starts as it should. No having to remember log in codes or passwords either. The system will even call three phone numbers in turn for each participant to track them down and make sure they attend on time. A very clever use of technology all right. Priced from $30.00 for 250 participant minutes."
 |
|
"Gaboogie is a service to schedule conference calls easily and quickly. Unlike other services, you can setup or join a conference call without having to remember dial-in numbers or passcodes. Gaboogie automatically dials out the numbers of people involved in the conference call so that they can join it very easily."
 |
|
"It is day 3 of the launch of Gaboogie It is a little different than the other conference call services out there. Gaboogie combines the latest IP communications technology and a lightweight AJAX- web interface for booking, scheduling and managing your call. You can start every conference on time, because Gaboogie calls everyone automatically, there’s no waiting for late attendees to show up. You can schedule your call when you sign on and even do it on demand instead of waiting if the need is there."

"If you are like me, you probably spend a lot of time on teleconference calls. And like it or not, these calls rarely have everyone joining at the same time, so you end up spending a lot of time waiting at the beginning of the call for everyone to dial in. A new Web-based service is trying to fix that and make these calls more useful."
