The Ripple Effect: Only the Beginning

July 30th, 2008 by Don Thorson | located in Platform, Ribbit Mobile | trackback

Announcing our acquisition by BT brought the expected tsunami of response, which we loved—and it also brought some more subtle and insightful responses from literally around the globe. We really liked watching people jump into the conversation about open telephony, the “talkification” of the web, and the growth of Ribbit’s platform into the international arena.

Blog posts, Twitter updates, and conversations with the media and industry partners—all gave us proof that our community really understands where this Ribbit/BT synergy is leading.

It also showed us, once again, how much value this community will add as we continue to grow.

We’re sharing just a few links below in hopes that you’ll take a look.

UK blogger Jon Moss discovered Ribbit through Twitter yesterday, and after learning about what we do, had a lot to say about Ribbit and Amphibian.

Adobe’s Ryan Stewart stopped by the office and talked with Chuck Freedman about what our news means to the Flash community. We even filmed it; watch it here.





C|Net News responded with three insightful articles; all are worth reading but you can start with Marguerite Reardon’s perspectives on open development. In one of the first commentaries on the acquisition, Mashable had strong thoughts, too.

What about you? What have you heard or thought about the Ribbit/BT partnership, and what would you like us to know? Comment here. We look forward to the conversation.

   Ribbit kicks major ass, that’s all I have to say. You’re not only going to change the world of telephony, but you’re also going to change the way everyone uses the internet to communicate. Web 3.0 belongs to you…
